I am running this command /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -no-acpi -smp 4 -m 2048 -drive file=myimg.img,format=raw -vga std -device rtl8139
and expecting a window to open up for the console. It does not. This is on CentOS 8. Do I have something missing/not installed - or something wrong on the command line.

You should really use cockpit (if you can't get virt-manager) if you want a GUI.

I was looking equivalent to what I had back on CentOS 7 with qemu-system-x86_64. I just want a "quick" way
to run an image file, do some compiling or me and be done.
how do I get the qemu-kvm to pop up a console window or use the current terminal that is open. with --no-graphic
I got a boot screen but nothing after that.
Jerry
I can start my qemu-kvm and use vncviewer to connect.
However - I tried the -nographic option... I GET the bios boot screen as a character screen (all the kernels listed and countdown) - but when it goes away and starts to boot, I no longer get anything. Just clear screen. Is that not an option for -nographic and the console continue to work ??? What am I missing. Thanks,
Jerry
