Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 5 won't boot in qemu 0.9.1

[arnopro]

When I boot up Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 4 or 5 (LiveCD or an intstalled system) in Qemu 0.9.1 I get a "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode". When I choose "Configure..." or "Continue" the whole boot process stops. Last message on the screen is:

* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]

I guess Ubuntu isn't able to detect the virtual monitor and graphics card.

This seems to be the same problem we are having on real hardware, in my case the Dell Latitude D630. I get the issue on Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 Desktop Beta 1.

The first issue, in your case, is not detecting the QEMU graphics card/monitor. But the issue that stops you from continuing is the low-graphics dialog, which is reported in case #194187.

Is the issue that you wish to report, about not detecting the hardware, or not being able to boot after the log-graphics dialog. If it is the former we can mark it as a dupe of #194187 and work from there.

Well, both :)

But the first one seems more important to me (if
Ubuntu would detect the hardware, it won't hang after
the log-graphics dialog).
