Re: [libvirt] [virt-tools-list] virt-manger: KVM is not available.

Ah okay. The issue is that libvirt only advertises KVM if it finds a
file named qemu-kvm or kvm, so it won't by default allow using kvm with
a stock qemu release. You can probably work around this by symlinking
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm to /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64. Might want to file a
bug with your distro to do the same (or have them actually ship the
forked qemu that is distributed with KVM upstream, since it's generally
what receives the most testing).
Ok. I installed qemu (in contrast to qemu-kvm) because I thought it received
more testing than a fork, since it closer to upstream.
Whatever... I installed qemu-kvm instead now and the message vanished.
Please allow me to attach another question to this thread, presumably simpler.
My / is on an SSD, /home is on a HD. I'm the only user on the machine. Default
path for libvirt/virt-manager to store images seems to be
/var/lib/libvirt/images and I can't change this as user.
What is the right way to store the images elsewhere?
Modify etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml ?
Symlink /var/lib/libvirt/images to /home/florian/... ?
Thanks for all your help..!
