Resources
AQEMU is a user-friendly GUI front-end to the QEMU and KVM emulators. The AQEMU front-end is written using the QT4 framework.
Installation
USE flags
Cannot load package information. Is the atom app-emulation/aqemu correct?
Emerge
Install aqemu:
root #
emerge --ask app-emulation/aqemu
Configuration
Configuration for AQEMU is a breeze. Simply follow the setup wizard to create a virtual hard drive, then set up a virtual machine.
Enabling VM graphical output
In version 0.8.2-r2 and down, there is no setting to enable the graphical output from the virtual machines. To have the machine display output to a GTK window an additional option currently not "supported" in AQEMU is needed. Presuming a virtual machine has already been created, follow these instructions:
- Start AQEMU.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Under Additional QEME/KVM Arguments enter
-display gtk
in the textbox then click Apply. - Start the virtual machine. Output should be displayed in a GTK window.
