• Bug#265941: bochs: Bochs hangs at startup waiting for gdb

    Package: bochs
    Version: 2.1.1-8
    Severity: normal

    Bochs hangs while attemping to start, last output line is:

    Waiting for gdb connection on localhost:1234

    Reverting to bochs/testing (2.1.1-5) fixes the problem. Checked the
    changelogs but saw no obvious reason for the difference.

    This is a special feature that is disabled by default. As of 2.1rel-3 it can only be enabled as an option in bochsrc. Please check wether your .bochsrc enables this.

    Reverting to bochs/testing (2.1.1-5) fixes the problem. Checked the changelogs but saw no obvious reason for the difference.

    I don't understand how could the changes after -5 could affect this...
