Package: kvm Version: 85+dfsg-4.1 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss
The situation in which I encountered this involved the OpenSolaris 2009.06 Live CD, after it had entered graphical mode. FWIW, my X configuration is 1280x1024; the graphics window for KVM also appeared to be 1280x1024. The command line was: kvm -name dumbbell -uuid e7c06115-e211-4be5-b7e2-47d1502ed59e \ -m 1024 -hda dumbbell.qcow -vga vmware -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 \ -monitor stdio -no-shutdown -cdrom osol-0906-x86.iso -boot d Pressing C-A-f in the SDL display window to switch to fullscreen mode failed with "Could not open SDL display", and the entire emulator process immediately vanished with no chance to checkpoint with a savevm or allow the guest to sync its disks or anything. In this case, I got lucky since it happened early in the OS install stage, but in other circumstances a sudden emulator exit could cause serious data loss, which is why I am filing this as a critical bug, similarly to #537569. (As usual, if this is not the correct severity, please advise as to the correct severity.) ---> Drake Wilson -- Package-specific info: selected information from lshal(1): /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 75 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 2210.047 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy bogomips : 4420.09 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc processor : 1 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 75 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 2210.047 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy bogomips : 4420.30 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kvm depends on: ii adduser 3.111 add and remove users and groups ii bridge-utils 1.4-5 Utilities for configuring the Linu ii iproute 20090324-1 networking and traffic control too ii libasound2 1.0.21a-1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libbluetooth3 4.57-1 Library to use the BlueZ Linux Blu ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgnutls26 2.8.5-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpci3 1:3.1.4-4 Linux PCI Utilities (shared librar ii libpulse0 0.9.21-1 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-5 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libvdeplug2 2.2.3-3 Virtual Distributed Ethernet - Plu ii libx11-6 2:1.3.2-1 X11 client-side library ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages kvm recommends: ii linux-image-2.6.27.1 [linux-i drache.1.0 Linux kernel binary image for vers ii linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64 [l 2.6.29-3 Linux 2.6.29 image on AMD64 Versions of packages kvm suggests: ii debootstrap 1.0.20 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii hal 0.5.13-6 Hardware Abstraction Layer pn kvm-source <none> (no description available) pn samba <none> (no description available) ii vde2 2.2.3-3 Virtual Distributed Ethernet -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
