[libvirt-users] Bug in VNC QEMU?

[Nikita A Menkovich]

Hi all!

Recently I found some problems after upgrading one of our virtual
machines from ubuntu 10.10. to later releases.

Root problem is inactive VNC terminal after booting grub. It happens
because of using framebuffer at boot process.

To fix this problem you should change at /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_TERMINAL=console

And run

# update-grub
# reboot

This fixes problem. But I think there should be some fix to use fb in
vnc without problems.

I use:

libvirt 0.9.11.3
QEMU emulator version 1.0 (qemu-kvm-1.0 Debian 1.0+dfsg-8~bpo60+1),
