More info on the Virt-Manager project can be found here: http://people.redhat.com/berrange/virt-manager/ For me, I personally like the idea and focus of libVirt project and would like to see if any QEMU developers from the list would have an interest to team up with me to develop an open source GUI-Frontend based on the LibVirt API. Why would you create a second GUI interface when virt-manager already exists as a libvirt GUI front-end? As far as I know, the big hurdle for QEMU and libvirt right now is not any GUI aspects (VNC would work just fine). It's interacting with QEMU. Xen provides an XML-RPC interface to managing instances whereas QEMU only really provides the monitor interface. Of course, there's still a bit of work to do before libvirt uses actually uses that interface (it currently uses the older S-Expression/HTTP interface). Basically, there's quite a bit of work to do in libvirt before you could even start writing a GUI for QEMU. I have toyed around with the idea of writing an XML-RPC front-end to QEMU (with the idea of bridging the gap for libvirt).

Well, first let me say I am not a programmer and know very little about GUI development and their toolkits. But, I have been reading up and learning about what's out there. Having said that, I think Virt-Manager is built using GTK/Glade with Python and I am not quite sure if that would meet the requirements to having a cross-platform GUI for users. And, something that would offer a native look feel to the OS platform they use. As mentioned in my previous email, for OpenSourceDemo.com, I'd like to make available a VM software product with a GUI that can be used by users using windows, linux, and mac-os. Therefore, I don't know if GTK/Glade is the best choice for this. If it is, using virt-manager would be great! Basically, there's quite a bit of work to do in libvirt before you could even start writing a GUI for QEMU. Hmm, really didn't know how much work would be involved. But, I think it would be good to start, if people like the idea of having a QEMU support for libVirt. I just think it would great to harrness and leverage the work behind libVirt and have support for QEMU. The GUI part would be easy to add on. Also, if it would take a long time to have support for QEMU using libvirt, I was wondering if anyone can help me come up with an interim solution to have a gui that I can make available on the site. Would greatly appreciate the help with this. Ideally, I am looking for a solution where the GUI can package QEMU with it. So, as a user installs the GUI on there PC it also installs QEMU in one install. This would remove the complexity of having to install QEMU and then the GUI.

That would allow the GUI to be written to a single API, and yet control multiple systems like QEMU, Xen, etc. The libvirt project aims to provide such a backend API, currently supporting Xen, and a 'mock hypervisor' backend for testing purposes, and it would be very desirable to have backends to drive QEMU VMWare systems. While the GUI would no doubt still have some differences in the area of hardware /device configuration the bulk of it could be shared by using the generic libvirt backend.

I am not sure I agree if that thought. It really depends on the mission or goal of the project. In the case for QEMU, I am not sure what its goal/mission is. Is the project just to scratch an itch to server a few people who needs it? Is it to fill a void over what exist in commercial software? Or, is the intent to develop something FREE and then offer some support service around the product? As far as I know: Fabrice started the project because he had this idea that translation should be faster than interpreting, and not much more difficult. He proved his point. And many people actually use QEmu, which is all the better. As far as users criticizing, that always going to be the case in Open Source - Show me a project where users don't criticize. Yes. And developers will always complain about those who profit and don't contribute. As far as contribution goes, not everyone has the talent and ability to contribute - Like me. I doubt that.

The basic tasks that a QUI should confine itself to, IMO, are already pretty darn easy - define/manage a VM (via a shell script for me), start it, stop it, pause it...etc.. Even so, I've been thinking about this for some time - months probably... What I'd develop, if I were to undertake such a task, is a very simple app that can start qemu according to some configuration, and simply hook into the monitor to issue such commands as sendkey, stop, cont ...etc ... I do not imagine a need to have this app embed the qemu VM in itself, only start it hook into the monitor. Besides, I don't want to loose precious real estate - I like the window that a running VM is in just how it is - no changes. I've used VMWare in the past a lot. I found the toolbars menus to be nothing more than clutter annoyance. The majority of the work I do with a VM has everything to do with the VM, and nothing to do with things that can be done with an additional GUI, however it would be nice to have one for simplifying those extra tasks... Specifically, I imagine something sitting in my Sys. Tray. This Sys. Tray icon menu thing would have options to invoke qemu's monitor commands for easy access ...or a list of all VMs, each with a sub-menu (I'm thinking stop, cont, loadvm, savevm, commit, usb stuff, change device x). Also, I can use the Sys. Tray Icon to bring up it's window with all the niceties to create a new VM, manage existing VMs...etc. Right now, I have a shell script that has the 'configuration' of my VM - changing of that 'configuration' would need to go in the GUI. I also use the monitor thing for stop, cont, loadvm, startvm, commit, usb stuff change device x - that would need to go in the GUI. Beyond that, what does more bling really bring to the table?

I understand it may be possible for QEUM to take a VMware image and convert the VMware file format so that it can run on a XEN/VPS (domu). I would appreciate if anyone can confirm this for me. Also, any further comments/suggestions to the above would be helpful! Yes, it can be done. Just tell qemu-img to convert it from VMware format to raw format. See the man page for more info.
