  Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
  
  I've got a few guests that are setup to use the local SDL window rather
  than VNC.  With the last update to kvm it has broken in one of two ways
  (which one it decides to use seems random)
  
  1) My whole console goes black and the music player I'm running stops
  2) The guest fails to start with an error of 'failed to retrieve chardev info' from qemu
  
  In /var/log/libvirt/qemu/fiddle2.log I see:
  
  LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin XAUTHORITY=/home/dg/.Xauthority DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.11 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -name fiddle2 -uuid fd06659e-3354-cb8e-71d9-cfeeff86e60f -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/fiddle2.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline -rtc base=utc -boot dc -drive file=/media/more/isos/ubuntu-10.10-alpha3-desktop-amd64.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -drive file=/dev/main/fiddle2disk,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,boot=on -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -device virtio-net-pci,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=54:52:00:32:5a:59,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -net tap,fd=43,vlan=0,name=hostnet0 -chardev pty,id=serial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0 -usb -sdl -vga cirrus -device ES1370,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3

  Could not initialize SDL - exiting
  
  This was working fine yesterday prior to the kvm 1:84+dfsg-
  0ubuntu16+0.12.4+noroms+0ubuntu8 upgrade (or one of the other packages
  that landed at the same time).
