This bug still exists with Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS as host and Ubuntu Mate 14.04.01 in the VM.
Using Mate in the VM with cirrus as video driver does work, but the screen resolution is limited to 1290x104 - insufficient for some graphics work. For vga it is even worse. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/918791 Title: qemu-kvm dies when using vmvga driver and unity in the guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/918791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
