Hi, versions up to 2.11 (<=Bionic) used -display sdl and not yet GTK. The GTK support got better and since 2.12 (>Bionic) Ubuntu qemu builds use GTK for the UI.
What I don't see is how this would be "After the recent upgrade" as that was the case for all the time - we didn't enable/disable these in an update after Bionic was released. root@b:~# apt install qemu-system-x86=1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7 root@b:~# qemu-system-x86_64 -display gtk qemu-system-x86_64: -display gtk: GTK support is disabled = Not a new thing But as I said later versions have that (there instead sdl is missing): root@e:~# qemu-system-x86_64 -display sdl qemu-system-x86_64: Display 'sdl' is not available. But gtk works here (this was Eoan for example) Could you elaborate how this would be related to an update on your system? If you want a newer qemu that works with GTK but stay at 18.04 otherwise I recommend to take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/CloudArchive#The_Ubuntu_Cloud_Archive ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1859490 Title: GTK support missing/disabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1859490/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
