Virtual Machine Manager - "UEFI not found"

Hi! I am trying to create a virtual machine using Virtual Machine Manager. I am going to use it for GPU passthrough using UEFI.

When i go to the customise before installing option in virt-manager the possibility to switch from BIOS to UEFI is greyed out.

I have the following packages installed from the standard repos (no aur etc.):

 % pacman -Q ovmf virt-manager libvirt qemu
ovmf 16229-1
virt-manager 1.2.1-1
libvirt 1.2.18-2
qemu 2.4.0-2

Am i missing some package or do i need to edit some config file to get the option of UEFI available?

Re: Virtual Machine Manager - "UEFI not found"

sudo pacman -S libvirt ovmf --needed

and then reboot your system.

It should work.
