Talk:Using QEMU on Windows

It doesn't work. I followed the instructions here and it gives you a login prompt. You can wait, and it will switch to graphics mode, and display a black X cursor on a black screen. Then it will display a cursor on a light grey screen. Then it will exit back to the login prompt without any sort of message as to why. If you wait again it will repeat the process.

I did get a variation of that once, but never again. The first attempt, returned to the login prompt, but then when it repeated the process it gave me a login dialog. I pressed OK (or Enter?) without typing anything in the field, and it dropped me back to the login prompt without a message. Since then it hasn't managed to show that dialog again.

So can we PLEASE get some bloody documentation for this thing????

So that a normal person can actually use it?

There was a bug (fixed in later builds) with the UI crashing when you try to login with an empty nickname, as you did. If you try again with a fresh image and give a username this time, it'll work.

Hi there... I wrote the Windows XP page, and it worked for me... Are you using the same image build number? Some of the images have less functionality than others.
