I just tested the latest lucid-desktop live CD with -vga vmware on a lucid host, and it works fine. Host has: $ apt-cache policy qemu-kvm qemu-kvm: Installed: 0.12.2-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.12.2-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.12.2-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com lucid/main

[Bug 414885] Re: KVM crashes when -vga is set to vmware.

Dustin: not sure what that screenshot you uploaded is. Is that the qemu-kvm window itself? If so I don't think you're seeing the same bug -- the issue being tracked here (and which I'm pretty sure is fixed in qemu 0.12) is a problem where the vmware-vga has a buffer overrun and crashes the host k

Hmm, still broken on qemu-0.12.1.2. Screenshot attached. Anthony, can you reproduce on HEAD? ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-QEMU.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38168857/Screenshot-QEMU.png ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Assignee: Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) => (unassigned) -- K

Off-topic, but yes, I'm trying to package qemu-kvm-0.12 right now. There are a number of blocking issues with the release, though. -- KVM crashes when -vga is set to vmware. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

[Bug 414885] Re: KVM crashes when -vga is set to vmware.

OK, I've sent this on upstream and in fact there is a whole series of vmware_vga stuff at that might be worth picking up. I think it would be nice to get a fixed qemu-kvm into Karmic during the Lucid cycle, since vmware is the fastest video driv

Excellent, thanks, Roland. We can carry that patch in Ubuntu. To get it upstream, you're going to need to submit it to the qemu-devel mailing list. Anthony isn't able to take patches submitted through Launchpad, unfortunately... -- KVM crashes when -vga is set to vmware. https://bugs.launchpad

[Bug 414885] Re: KVM crashes when -vga is set to vmware.

I figured out the cause of the crash, at least in my system. With SDL, qemu-kvm advertises the cursor setting capability to the guest, and therefore gets a DEFINE_CURSOR command. In the crashing case, it gets a request for a 64x64 cursor at 32bpp, which requires 64*64 = 4096 32-bit words to store

I see this too (Lucid guest). As a workaround, using "-vnc :1" instead of the default sdl output lets me use -vga vmware. -- KVM crashes when -vga is set to vmware. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscri

I'm confirming this on current Karmic qemu-kvm-0.11. It's not segfaulting, however, so I'm changing the title accordingly, and lowering the priority to 'low', since it's not crashing. Still, I'm not seeing any output in the window. Also, I'll copy this to upstream QEMU, as they're aware of this,
