Description Jason Tibbitts 2013-02-15 19:54:22 UTC

When bringing up a guest with virt-install and not manually specifying a video type, the guest gets cirrus video.  This happens even if specifying --os-variant=fedora18.  (When using virt-manager and not choosing a particular video type, I get qxl.)

It appears that /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtinst/osdict.py specifies cirrus as the default video type for pretty much everything except for the variants of windows.

I'm running updates F18: python-virtinst-0.600.3-2.fc18.noarch

Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2013-05-28 11:54:34 UTC

Moving this to F19 since it likely won't be fixed for older releases.

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2013-10-02 23:00:08 UTC

virt-install defaults to spice + qxl across the board now, but it'll be a difficult backport to f19, so just pushing to f20. You can manually work around it on f19 by passing --graphics spice, which will give the qxl default as well
