Qemu virt manager?

[ladybug]

Hey so I installed macOS in QEMU using an online guide, but the guide used terminal commands to create and run the VM. Now my VM does not show up up on KVM virt manager and I can only run it from terminal by opening an .sh script. How can I import it into virt manager to control the settings?

Just uninstall it and install quickemu and quickgui

Um,no I am not uninstalling my vm the process to install wasn’t simple and I don’t think this is gonna change anything. I need it running on virt manager exactly for specific purposes.

with Quickgui you can install Mac OS vm in one click https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu#macos-guest

Ok but I really want to use my vm in virt manager. Also let’s say I decide to get quick GUI? Is macOS downloaded straight from Apple? Can it be updated? Can I run it on boot(start it with my computer)?

Well the core files are downloadedd from there but this is all pre packaged so you can think of this as a hackintosh but pre engineered and also every hackintosh prones to break when updating and yes if you do some work in linux yes you can do that

Is your user part of the libvirt group?

Hmm well ok but I mean I already have a vm so if there is a way to import that in virt manager I would prefer that. As easy as it is to download it it’s not easier than using my already existing vm

I did it using the systemctl commands to stop and start it but when I open virt-manager nothing magically appeared there I have no vms

Update 2.0: Apparently my home folder is home/username nit just home thanks Linux for making this clear(not clear). Anyway everything works now.

For everyone reading this I had to edit the xml file for the vm in the OSX-KVM folder add the correct paths to everything and then I copied it using scp command to etc/libvirt/qemu and then open terminal in that folder and then “virsh define filename.xml” command whatever your xml file is called. Then restart the libvirt and virtlog services using “systemctl restart libvirtd.service virtlogd.service” command without the quotation marks obviously(for both commands in this post) and you are set.  Your vm is now in the virt-manager.
