Qemu Launcher is a GTK-based front-end for Qemu, a x86 PC emulator, that is designed for GNOME.
Qemu Launcher is an user-friendly front-end for the Qemu x86 PC emulator, designed for the GNOME desktop environment using the GTK toolkit. It aims to provide an easier and more accessible way to use Qemu, which is usually operated via command line.
One of the main features of Qemu Launcher is that it allows users to create and save multiple VM configurations. Additionally, it simplifies the process of creating disk images by allowing the user to do so directly from the GUI, using options such as dd, qemu-mkcow, and vmdk2raw for raw, COW, and VMWare converted images respectively.
The program also provides access to Qemu console through xterm, and stores configurations in the user's home directory in ~/.qemu-launcher. Another benefit is the ability to store disk images anywhere the user chooses.
To be able to use Qemu Launcher, the following requirements must be met: GTK+ version 2.6.x, Perl 5.8.8, Gtk2 1.121, Gtk2::GladeXML 1.005, Locale::gettext 1.05, and QEMU 0.8.1. Gzip and xmllint from libxml2 are also needed at build time.
Finally, the latest release of Qemu Launcher provides a default entry in path to 'qemuctl' and uses QCOW2 as the default image format. Overall, Qemu Launcher is a useful tool for users who require an intuitive interface to the Qemu emulator.
