[virt-tools-list] How to make virt-manager targets the correct qemu emulators

[Gabriel Laupre]

Hello,

I guess it will do the trick. But in my case I don’t want to change the XML config file. I want that my emulator under /usr/local/bin/ to be directly chosen by the virt-manager when I create a new VM using the GUI tool. I don’t know if it is possible though.

Thank you :)

Hello,

I have an old version of qemu installed under the path /usr/bin/. I am using a Centos 7 machine.
I just got the last qemu code and made some modifications, recompiled it and I have my qemu emulators under /usr/local/bin.

When I launch the virt-manager, it seems that it targets the old one under /usr/bin/ and I want to change that the virt-manager will use my new one under /usr/local/bin.

Where can I specify this information?

You could：

1)      virsh edit  $YOU_VM


2)      find this:
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator>


3)      change it to

<emulator>/usr/local/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator>



4)      you may need to disabled your selinux
vim /etc/selinux/config

Hope this could help.

Regards,
- Chen
