Apex VM Manager v25.02 -

Apex v25.02 is now available with major fixes and improvements.

Apex is a tool for creating and managing Libvirt/KVM virtual machines. It provides a GUI that is easy to use and provides options to create disk snapshots, and to merge or discard changes in “undo” disks.

What’s New

Toolbars now display all available actions instead of showing only major actions. This makes it easier for new users to discover actions instead of having to rely on the right-click context menu.

Toolbars now have a flat style.

More Viewers

There are now more options to view the desktop for a running VM.

Click the Viewer button to view the VM with Virt-Viewer. Clicking the Fullscreen button will open Virt-Viewer in a fullscreen window. A floating toolbar is displayed at the top which is useful to minimize or unmaximize the window.

Click the Remmina button to view the desktop with Remmina Remote Desktop Client. Clicking the Fullscreen button will open Remmina in a fullscreen window. A floating toolbar is displayed at the top which is useful to minimize or unmaximize the window.

Create VM Changes

Creating a VM is now easier than before. Default values will be populated for VM Name and OS Type. You can just click Create to create the VM, or change the default values if needed. Settings will be retained for the next session.

UI layout has been improved. Actions have been moved to the headerbar.

More warnings were added for invalid selections. For example, you will get a warning if the disk size is larger than the free disk space on the host system.

Other Changes

Fix: VM size incorrectly includes the size of attached ISO image file
Fix: Opening the Viewer window can sometimes cause the UI to freeze
Fix: Creating a new VM can sometimes cause the UI to freeze if the operation fails.
