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.)

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/560146 in Debian BTS
against the package kvm. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/562620. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
