Package: qemu Version: 0.9.0+20070816-1 Severity: important If an error happens during 'savevm', there is no error message of any kind. For example, if there are insufficient permissions to save the machine's state (very likely as -daemonize silently chdirs to /), there is visual feedback in the form of a long pause (failed open would fail immediately) and absolutely no information that an error occured.
The state being saved often carries quite a lot of, possibly important, data or at least quite a time's worth of work in progress, often hard to save in other ways -- thus there's no excuse for not telling the user the save failed. Because of the discussion in #419929 I'm filing this as "important" even though the policy says this is a "serious" bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-vserver-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages qemu depends on: ii bochsbios 2.3+20070705-2 BIOS for the Bochs emulator ii libasound2 1.0.15-2 ALSA library ii libc6 2.7-0exp8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20071103-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.12-1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii openbios-sparc 1.0~alpha2+20070816-1 SPARC Open Firmware ii openhackware 0.4.1-2 OpenFirmware emulator for PowerPC ii proll 18-2 JavaStation PROM 2.x compatible re ii vgabios 0.6a-3 VGA BIOS software for the Bochs an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-7 compression library - runtime Versions of packages qemu recommends: ii debootstrap 1.0.7 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii sharutils 1:4.6.3-1 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode ii vde2 2.1.6+r154-1+b1 Virtual Distributed Ethernet -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
