Comment 0 for bug 1667114

A new major release of virt-manager has been released and is in debian unstable/testing.

I'll go through all the Ubuntu changes to confirm what's still needed.

  * Fix virt-install so that it can install 16.04 and newer images.
    Error message is 'Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree
    Closes (LP: #1634304)

  * debian/patches/use_virtio_for_pseries_disks.patch: virtinst: Use
    virtio bus type for disks on pSeries machines. Closes LP: #1597610.

  * debian/patches/0001-details-Fix-screenshot-on-F24-rawhide-bz-1297988.patch:
    Cherry-pick from upstream. Fix screenshot capture with newer
    gdk-pixbuf/pygobject. (LP: #1571702)

  * Merge from Debian. Remaining changes: (LP: #1556671)
    - debian/control:
        + Depend on gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 for appindicator support.
        + Add lsb-release to Build-Depends so we can detect whether we're
          running on Ubuntu or Debian.
        + Change Recommends to libvirt-bin instead of libvirt-daemon-system
          which isn't available in Ubuntu
    - debian/rules:
        + Set qemu user to libvirt-qemu so appropriate permissions get set.
        + Set the preferred distro so we appear first in the list.
        + Remove data/gschemas.compiled generated by clean.
    - d/p/virtinst/9006_fix_path_to_qemu-dm.patch: drop the full path from
      qemu-dm as already done for hvmloader and pygrub. The Xen tools will
      handle this and add the missing path.
    - d/p/more_helpful_error_message.patch: explain to the user why
      connecting to qemu:///system failed and how to fix it.
    - d/p/use_ubuntu_package_names.patch: Suggest installing the packages
      that are actually available in Ubuntu.
    - d/p/leave-mnemonics-alone-on-focus-change.patch: Leave
      gtk-enable-mnemonics setting alone under Unity when windows change
      focus.
    - d/p/mark-libvirt-lxc: Clearly mark the LXC connections as being
      libvirt-lxc, to avoid confusion due to differing features and
      configurations.
    - d/p/add_qemu_binaries.patch: add the actual binary name from the qemu
      packages so default hypervisor detection works properly on first run.
    - d/p/use_qxl_for_ubuntu.patch: use qxl by default for Ubuntu VMs, it
      seems to work better than vmvga now.
    - d/p/prefer-qemu.patch: Prefer QEMU as the default URI, even if it's
      not installed.
    - d/p/virtinst/dont_disable_vmport.patch: Don't disable vmport even if
      we're using spice, as this prevents having a seamless mouse when
      using Ubuntu as a guest.
