Hi,
I've hacked up a simple gtk-based frontend for qemu, available here:
http://dl.bytesex.org/releases/qemu-gtk/
README is attached below for your convenience.
cheers,
Gerd
about qemu-gtk
==============
This is a simple gtk-based gui for qemu. It is designed to run
independant from the qemu process, so you can stop and restart the gui
without disturbing your virtual machines.
qemu-gtk doesn't (yet?) support starting and stopping virtual
machines. It can only connect to a already running qemu process.
using qemu-gtk
--------------
qemu-gtk connects to the qemu monitor using tcp or unix sockets and to
the built-in vnc server. Thus you must enable the monitor and vnc
when starting qemu. The monitor should be in non-blocking server mode.
i.e. you'll start qemu like this:
"qemu -monitor unix:/tmp/monitor,server,nowait -vnc :1 <more-args>"
then the gui like this:
"qemu-gtk unix:/tmp/monitor"
qemu-gtk will figure automatically where the vnc display is, using the
monitor.
Have fun,
Gerd
