[Discuss] Virt-Manager

[Edward]

Mark - Thanks for the info re Fedora 31/Debian 10 and VirtIO. Very much 
appreciated.

I used Fedora 31 to create it and this time, it successfully booted into 
the Live DVD and also with a subsequent installation to the VM. Although 
when it boots up each time, I am seeing a window that the X server 
failed to start, but it eventually starts and brings me to the login screen.

In regards to Jerry's question regarding my adding the USB hardware, 
using virt-manager: when creating the VM, on the screen 'Create a new 
virtual machine' (Step 5 of 5), there is a checkbox labeled 'Customize 
configuration before install'. Checking this box will take you to 
another screen that lists all of the items on the left that will be 
installed by default, there is a button at the bottom of that window 
'Add Hardware', select that. The next screen lists the hardware that can 
be added. The USB items (Bluetooth, printer, mouse, etc.) are on USB 
Host Device. Click on one of them, then click Finish, that adds it to 
the list on the left. This last step is repeated for each USB device you 
want to add to the VM.
