I gave libvirt access to my .Xauthority file and then tried via virt- manager to launch a vm using a local sdl window. I opened virt-manager with --debug.
On 'starting the vm' I got an error message like this: "commandline read: virtio-blk-pci,b : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 808, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1296, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 333, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char device redirected to /dev/pts/18 " (the vm doesn't boot). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615077 Title: [Maverick] SDL local window broken in last update -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
