Subject: [qemu-system-x86] segfaults with ubuntu 10.04.4 i368 and -vga vmware

Date: Mon, 03 Jun 2013 21:45:48 +0200

Package: qemu-system-x86
Version: 1.5.0+dfsg-3
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Hi.

After updating my system to the latest qemu, a virtual machine of mine 
no longer boots. This is a ubuntu 10.04.4 installation but can be 
reproduced with the installer of ubuntu 10.04.4 desktop for i368.

To reproduce:
- Download the ubuntu installer for the desktop version for i368 
(http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/)
- run: qemu-system-i386 -cdrom ubuntu-10.04.4-desktop-i386.iso -vga vmware

After a minute or so, qemu segfaults. It looks like it happens right 
after the boot splash screen. (with -machine pc,accel=kvm it happens 
much faster)

I can reproduce this on two of my machines.

qemu version 1.1.2 from testing does work however.

Best regards and thanks in advance for any help with this.
  nautsch

Thank you for the bugreport.

I confirmed this issue on my machine too.

This is specific to vmware AND gtk.  With traditional sdl display
(-display sdl) it does not happen.  1.1.x had only sdl display.

Thanks!

You're welcome and thank you for the "-display sdl" workaround. I had no 
idea where to start looking for something like this.

Best regards
