I think the gui has moved to a separate package. Try installing qemu-system-gui. Mark ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I don't know what display you guys are expecting to see, but when I run qemu, the VM opens in a plain old window that has a title bar and menu bar, just like it always has. The menu items are Machine and View. qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -vga std -cdrom example.iso I did run into a situation in ascii where qemu required vnc, and I don't recall what happened to change that back to the old behavior. Maybe installing qemu-system-gui is what fixed it. fsmithred 0xA73823D3094C5620.asc Description: application/pgp-keys ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
