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.)
