That's my memory too. The script for my Sid VM has option -nographic to prevent such a qemu window from showing up. https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/qemu-system-x86/qemu-system-x86_64.1.en.html -nographic Normally, if QEMU is compiled with graphical window support, it displays output such as guest graphics, guest console, and the QEMU monitor in a window. With this option, you can totally disable graphical output so that QEMU is a simple command line application. ... > $ qemu-system-x86_64 [...] -vga cirrus [...] Did you try whether you get a window without option -vga cirrus ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
