I'm running Ubuntu 8.10. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19693006/Screenshot.png ** Attachment removed: "Screenshot.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19693006/Screenshot.png -- Virtual Machine CD-ROM disappears on its own - kvm virt-manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238692 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
