Thank you Felipe !

I had troubles with virt-manager in the past so I gave up on it

Now I followed your suggestion and tried it again

I couldn't find the machine made with Boxes, as you can see here
(Boxes on the background and virt-manager on the foreground)

BUT I attempted to create a brand new vm with virt-manager from
scratch and it seems to work !

It didn't work in the past !

So I think I can go along with virt-manager now

Thanks !
