Package: qemu
Version: 0.9.1-3
Severity: normal
With both Windows 98 SE and Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) as the guest OS I have been
having issues with qemu where the virtual machine will hang, and, if the mouse
is grabbed, prevent any mouse or keyboard under X when that happens (for all of
X; only way out is to kill qemu from a VT, then I can use the keyboard to exit
X, which is necessary to reset the grabbed mouse).
I haven't found a pattern, and when I exit X and restart it (usually
automatically by logging out of a gnome session, which restart the X server) X
starts on a new VT leaving the old VT empty. Also some X programs that try to
access display :0.0 report they cannot when this happens; it seems the qemu
forced exit is leaving X in a state it can't get out of.
I haven't been able to find a pattern to these crashes; they just happen in
middle of some activity like installing or running a program (as mentioned,
with both Win98SE and Gutsy) and is disturbing because it screws up X in the
process.

I discovered that I had issues with my video card, most likely due to
hardware flakiness, but I also noticed you made some changes to the
package which could have been what solved the problem.
Anway it's solved, so I'm closing the bug.

now I have the rest of the afternoon to sniff fragrant tea-roses or
strangle cute bunnies or something. -- Michael Devore
