Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) wrote : virt-manager does not allow selecting other architectures when using qemu

Binary package hint: virt-manager

Steps to reproduce:

1. start virt-manager, connect to localhost (System), click New
2. pick a name (eg, testme) and choose Network boot (PXE) as the install method, click Forward
3. Choose Generic/Generic and click Forward
4. RAM and CPUs are defaults, click Forward
5. Disk is default, but don't allocate all right now, click Forward
6. click Advanced, and choose qemu/arm (I also tried ppc and i686 (I have an x86_64 host)), click Finish

The guest starts, but:
$ virsh dumpxml test17 |grep qemu
Connecting to uri: qemu:///system
<domain type='qemu' id='2'>
    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
$ ps auxww|grep qemu
