Hey,
It has been quite some time since I last touched this topic here, but I
would like to try to continue the discussion about providing something
between virt-viewer and virt-manager for end-users whose basic necessity
is to have access to the remote console but sometimes need to have some
kind of control over the virtual machine, even though he/she doesn't
want to interact with any other complexities related to the virtual
machine management provided by virt-manager.
My first approach was to make this changes in virt-viewer, which was
NACK by community. Suggestions were: create a third application in
virt-viewer source code besides virt-viewer and remove-viewer to
accomplish what I was trying to do or improve virt-manager to have the
features I was looking for. I definitely prefer the later, and that's
what I am trying to acomplish with the latest patch.
Although virt-manager has an option to start the console viewer (or any
other details window) upon start, the manager window is always started
as well. What I want is to avoid the manager window to be shown by
default, so that a user not interested in dealing with all the details
of the manager window can use the console view with a little bit more of
control over the VM than is provided in virt-viewer.
Best regards,
Leonardo Garcia
