I did a build of poky-tiny (which apparently Hob should not have allowed because it hadn't cleaned out libc or some such). Anyway, the resulting system wouldn't boot, which is not a surprise. But the window launching QEMU disappeared so quickly that I couldn't see the error message - if any. If the qemu craps out quickly, there should be a way to capture the messages from the window before it disappears.
This is a enhacement, namely: Better report errors if qemu crashes while trying to start a virtual machine. There should be a way to capture boot and crash messages before qemu ends its execution.
Please don't change target milestone and severity of an issue if not prior agreed so with the bug triage team. Please mail Jessica with the target/severity request change.
Hello Jessica, Judging from the description of this bug report, this is a request for an enhancement (see my comment). Can you please change the target milestone and severity accordingly, if you do agree with me? Thanks, Cristian
If qemu craps out so quickly you can't see what's happening, you can pass "console" to runqemu to get the full output in the terminal.
