I'm using qemu-kvm 0.12.3 with "-vga std" and with res like 1680x1050, 1440x900 and a few other it crashes/quits immediately with message "Could not open SDL display". It happens for me both when switching with ctrl-alt-f or with cmd line option -full-screen. With 1024x768 for example it does not happen, may be other. I'm using the package provided with Ubuntu 10.4
We discussed on #...@freenode with a guy nicknamed "mjt" (said he's debian qemu-kvm package maintainer) that this is for sure a bug after testing it by himself and according to him is present also in the current qemu-kvm 0.12.4., but easy to spot and hopefully to fix. By the way, should I open new bug report ot posting it here is enough? P.S. I'm particularly interested to know how can I track the progress of fixing of this bug, as I'm currently researching a solution to implement KVM as a virtualization platfrom for desktops using the resolutions mentioned in the beginning. Unfortunately the way KVM quits and closes the whole machine while encoutering this bug scares me a bit about the stability of "-vga std". -- kvm with -vga std is broken since karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
