I do not know how to do what you ask. I looked everywhere on launchpad and could not find older .debs. However, my previous ones were still in my cash: doug@s15:~$ locate .deb | grep qemu /var/cache/apt/archives/qemu-keymaps_2.0~git-20140228.d844a7b-0ubuntu1_all.d eb /var/cache/apt/archives/qemu-kvm_2.0~git-20140228.d844a7b-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/qemu-system-common_2.0~git-20140228.d844a7b-0ubuntu1 _amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/qemu-system-x86_2.0~git-20140228.d844a7b-0ubuntu1_am d64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/qemu-utils_2.0~git-20140228.d844a7b-0ubuntu1_amd64.d eb So I installed them. So I went from this (the formatting is going to mess up when I send): doug@s15:~$ dpkg -l | grep qemu ii ipxe-qemu 1.0.0+git-20131111.c3d1e78-2ubuntu1 all PXE boot firmware - ROM images for qemu ii qemu-keymaps 2.0~git-20140312.dc9528f-0ubuntu1 all QEMU keyboard maps ii qemu-kvm 2.0~git-20140312.dc9528f-0ubuntu1 amd64 QEMU Full virtualization on x86 hardware (transitional package) ii qemu-system-common 2.0~git-20140312.dc9528f-0ubuntu1 amd64 QEMU full system emulation binaries (common files) ii qemu-system-x86 2.0~git-20140312.dc9528f-0ubuntu1 amd64 QEMU full system emulation binaries (x86) ii qemu-utils 2.0~git-20140312.dc9528f-0ubuntu1 amd64 QEMU utilities To this (the formatting is going to mess up when I send): doug@s15:~$ dpkg -l | grep qemu ii ipxe-qemu 1.0.0+git-20131111.c3d1e78-2ubuntu1 all PXE boot firmware - ROM images for qemu ii qemu-keymaps 2.0~git-20140312.dc9528f-0ubuntu1 all QEMU keyboard maps ii qemu-kvm 2.0~git-20140228.d844a7b-0ubuntu1 amd64 QEMU Full virtualization on x86 hardware (transitional package) ii qemu-system-common 2.0~git-20140228.d844a7b-0ubuntu1 amd64 QEMU full system emulation binaries (common files) ii qemu-system-x86 2.0~git-20140228.d844a7b-0ubuntu1 amd64 QEMU full system emulation binaries (x86) ii qemu-utils 2.0~git-20140228.d844a7b-0ubuntu1 amd64 QEMU utilities And now everything is working fine (oh, I see I forgot to downgrade qemu-keymaps...). > If not, then it's safe to assume unity has changed something.

I use vmvga and only communicate with my VMs via VNC (well, I use always install sshd on them as a backup way to talk to it). The Cirrus driver has never ever worked for me, and as far as I could determine from my readings, the older bug reports related to vmvga had been fixed. I have been using it for months. This is the command I used to create the vm: sudo virt-install -n desk_tt -r 8192 --disk path=/home/doug/img/desk_tt.img,bus=virtio,size=50 -c trusty-desktop-20140302-amd64.iso --network bridge=br0,model=virtio --video=vmvga --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole -v --vcpus=4 However, and typically I use virsh edit afterwards and increase the vram to 16384, because by my math the default 9216 isn't enough. (I do not know how to set it during install). ...
