qemu installation in ubuntu ? shows some error

Question

I'm installed qemu in my ubuntu 12.04, in both ways [through source and from the software center in ubuntu] it shows same error. It does not pop up the qemu window. when i'm given a dummy filesystem,kernel,initrd, it simply shows some "VNC SERVER listening 127.0.0.1" screen and hangs no more response. Please give me the installation steps and needful libraries to run simple qemu for x86.

Answer 1

Try to include SDL support to QEMU and add option -sdl to run it. VNC is by default probably means you don't have SDL devel lib. Install libsdl-dev with apt.
