Description Matthias Clasen 2012-10-04 21:45:50 UTC 
This might be nice information to show in the system info tab. Systemd just gained api to query this, see bug 684801 for the details, or see

info: Detect and display Virtualisation method used

Using systemd's "Virtualization" property on the systemd manager
object. We translate the raw names (as detected by systemd-detect-virt)
into (barely) human readable strings.

2 questions then:
- do we need to translate the virtualisation technologies' names? Could you please review them for sanity?
- does it work? My systemd is too old, and I don't have virtual machines setup (though I'll try and remedy that).

There's an error in the table: one "kvm" should be "qemu".

Also note that there is the special value of "other" which means that virtualization was detected, but it's not known what kind of.

It looks alright. I'll upload a new version to F18 tomorrow (I hope at least).
