Hi George, Thanks for using cockpit! > > 1) I cannot find a way to add another network device. This feature was missing, I will be probably included in the release two weeks from today, since skobyda just sent a PR about this today.

We will happily add it in our todo list, or if you want to contribute to the project I will gladly guide you into the implementation. > > 3) I cannot find a way to manage (view, add/remove) the video device (so > fundamental).

Well spotted. None asked for these features yet, but keep in mind that VM page in cockpit is under heavy development, and a lot of features are about to be released soon. I have noted down your requests, but you can also create issues on our GitHub repository https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues so that we can track better you RFEs. > > 5) In "Networking" I can add a bridge (this functionality has been removed > from Virt-Manager due to the effort to maintain the code), but the bridge is > not available in Virtual Machines to be attached to a network device.

So basically when you are creating a VM for first time, there is the case that you don't have any storage pools configured. We use 'virt-install' script to create VMs, and that will create a Storage Pool for the destination of the VM disk. > > I wonder if I am doing something incorrectly? Most of the operations you tried to do are currently not supported unfortunately - but definitely will be implemented in the near future. So stay tuned and in case you are interested to help with the implementation of some feature just come on #cockpit channel on freenode and I will help you get started.
