I think I have already provided enough words: the SDL window is entirely black for all my attempts to run new qemu-kvm, unless I pass -no-kvm. I expect it to contain something visible, e.g. the following lines when there is nothing to boot from:
Booting from Hard Disk... Boot failed: could not read the boot disk Booting from Floppy... Boot failed: could not read the boot disk Booting from CD-Rom... Boot failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0003) No bootable device. (and they do appear when starting with -no-kvm, or with old version of qemu-kvm) Does qemu work for you on amd64 (as I suspect that the bug is specific to that architecture)? As for the 'apport-collect 589099' command, I will run this tomorrow, because now I am at home (with a different distro where qemu-kvm works). Should I run it with the failing version installed, with the working version, or it doesn't matter? -- does not work on amd64 without -no-kvm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589099 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
