Well, not sure what you mean. Does the VM not run in a window?! I'm pretty sure that in the past like until 1-2 years ago always a window opened up in which the VM (actually the OS I wanted to run in a VM) was running (for example with the boot menu from an install.iso). In this window I could with 'Ctrl+1' or 'Ctrl+2' switch between the running VM and the qemu console (there was also 'Ctrl+3' but I don't remember whatfor). I can't remember to have used any virtmanager software. I only used the command above and a window would open with the running VM. > If you want to see the console of the VM, use virtviewer or > spiceclient or vncviewer as appropriate. > > if you want an all-in-one management system, run this via > virtmanager.
