[Bug 781936] Re: libvirtd: operation failed: failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info chardev'

[bl8n8r]

FWIW ran into another guest today which wouldn't boot through virt-
mangler. Kept getting error message: operation failed: failed to
retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info chardev' *sigh*

It was the only guest left wounded from the Lucid upgrade. I could still
start it using the script above, but kinda sucks not having it
manageable from virsh. One of these three things fixed it.

1) Details -> Boot device
    This was blank.  Set it hard disk.

2) Details -> Display
    Was set for SDL. Removed it and added new Display as VNC.

3) Details -> Video
    Changed from VGA to Cirrus

Hope this helps someone else. Doesn't look like anyone else will.
