Pino Toscano 90e2bdcb3e i18n: improve translatability of vmmAddHardware.input_pretty_name
A single "Generic" message glued together with capitalized names of bus
and type is a really bad string puzzle:
a) the parts cannot be moved around, while they could depending on the
   language
b) the type cannot be translated, and things like mouse/keyboard/tablet
   are usually translated
c) "generic" as adjective must get the proper gender depending on the
   name it refers to

Hence, unroll 6 more whole strings for the most common combinations of
type and bus. Otherwise, use strings with the type, as it is needed
because of (c) above. At last, fallback to a generic string, still
allowing (a) above. In both cases of fallback, the bus is still properly
translated.

In all the cases, use constants instead of explicit identifier strings.

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
