[Bug 513273] Re: kvm with -vga std is broken since karmic
Let me tell you what I have done: I have updraded qemu to the noroms version. The problem was reintroduced. Then, in the directory where I hold my images (.local/share/kvm): mkdir bios cd bios ln -s /usr/share/qemu/* . rm vgabios.bin bios.bin copied vgabios.bin and bios.bin from the qemu source finally, called qemu -L $KVM_IMAGES_DIR/bios/ ... bios.bin and vgabios.bin are read from the qemu source directory version, and works. Now, there are two different problems, independent. If I load bios.bin from seabios, I get the kvm error messages; if from qemu source, I do not see those messages. On the other hand, the reduction of resolution depends solely of the vgabios.bin one uses. I have tried several bios.bin/vgabios.bin to establish the independence of the effects. I had before one way to access the non-standard vga modes, like 1280x768, but now, even with vgabios.bin from the source distribution, I can only access 1024x768.

Unfortunately, today vgabios and seabios have been reintroduced, and the problem reappeared. -- kvm with -vga std is broken since karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 541524] Re: BIOS shipped as binary blobs without source
There are two different problems to be tackled here: - with seabios bios.bin we get a lot of messages saying BUG: kvm_dirty_pages_log_enable_slot: invalid parameters. - with vgabios.bin and -vga std we get 800x600x4 maximum resolution, as a fallback in qemu. I have tested different combinations of bios.bin and vgabios.bin, supplied by seabios and vgabios vs supplied by qemu sources, and have determined the two problems are completely independent. In fact, you get full vga resolution with seabios bios.bin and the qemu source's vgabios.bin, however the kvm_dirty_pages do appear. *** As a workaround to the needy, delete the links bios.bin and vgabios.bin from /usr/share/qemu-kvm and copy the files with the same name from the directory pc-bios in qemu sources into the directory (or just copy vgabios.bin and use the -bios command line switch for qemu to select a bios. -- BIOS shipped as binary blobs without source https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541524 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 513273] Re: kvm with -vga std give error and do not works
With -std vga we can only get 800x600 16 colors, which is a fallback, while -vga cirrus works well. KVM 0.11.0 from karmic works well, since this bug only affects 0.12 and above. Quite annoying, since one can only obtain resolutions like 1280x768 from -vga std. I propose to move up the bug importance to Medium. -- kvm with -vga std give error and do not works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
