Package: virt-manager Version: 1:1.4.0-5 Severity: normal To enable EFI / UEFI support in virt-manager (it is greyed out otherwise), one must install the ovmf package.
EFI / UEFI is pretty widespread and available in the majority of modern operating systems these days. Is there any particular reason why we have to resort to manually installing ovmf ourselves (and hopefully not forget to remove it if we ever decide to uninstall virt-manager)? -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages virt-manager depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.26.0-2+b1 ii gconf2 3.2.6-4+b1 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.22.11-1 ii gir1.2-gtk-vnc-2.0 0.6.0-3 ii gir1.2-libosinfo-1.0 1.0.0-2 ii gir1.2-libvirt-glib-1.0 1.0.0-1 ii gir1.2-vte-2.91 0.46.1-1 ii librsvg2-common 2.40.16-1+b1 ii python 2.7.13-2 ii python-dbus 1.2.4-1+b1 ii python-gi 3.22.0-2 ii python-gi-cairo 3.22.0-2 ii python-libvirt 3.0.0-2 ii python-requests 2.12.4-1 ii python2.7 2.7.13-2+deb9u2 ii virtinst 1:1.4.0-5 Versions of packages virt-manager recommends: ii gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 0.33-3.3 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-2 ii libvirt-daemon-system 3.0.0-4+deb9u1 Versions of packages virt-manager suggests: ii gir1.2-secret-1 0.18.5-3.1 ii gnome-keyring 3.20.0-3 pn python-guestfs <none> pn ssh-askpass <none> ii virt-viewer 5.0-1 -- no debconf information
