| When installing from a phsical CD/DVD in Virtual Machine Manager everything works fine. But the connection to the CD/DVD media is stored for the virtual machine, so if the media is removed you will experience an error on the next attempt to start this virtual machine. Solution: "Details" tab of that machine window and disconnect the CD drive here. See [[rhbug:473154|473154]]

| Strange effect observed, unfortunately only once: A guest installation seemed to hang and I tried to kill it with "Shutdown/Force off". The effect was that not only this guest was killed but all running guests on that host. So far not reproducable in my lab.

| Screensaver turns of screen and locks it when you spent too much time in a virtual guest and then you shutdown this guest. As soon as the guest machine is "off" your screen will go black and is locked. So obviously the screensaver doesn't see your activity when you are bsuy inside the guest system.

=== Distribution specific test results ===
 
In 'Arch' column use
 
- 32-on-32  for i686 guest on i686 host
- 32-on-64  for i686 guest on x86_64 host
- 64-on-64  for x86_64 guest on x86_64 host
- 64-on-32  for x86_64 guest on i686 host (plain QEMU emulation, no KVM)
 
Please indicate whether using 'qemu' or 'kvm'. virt-manager defaults to kvm, except in 64-on-32). virt-install defaults to qemu
unles the --accelerate flag is given. You can verify by running 'virsh dumpxml GUEST' and looking at top level <domain type='qemu|kvm'> element
