qemu-system-x86_64: Display 'sdl' is not available.

[Alg0v]

I ran the run.sh script but it shows an error. The output is :

*** Checking for firmware files
*** Checking for Base System files
*** Check if dmg2img is available
/usr/bin/dmg2img
*** Check if BaseSystem dmg is downloaded. If downloaded convert to img
*** BaseSystem dmg available.
*** Check if BaseSystem dmg has been converted to img before.
*** BaseSystem img available.
*** Checking for disk image
*** Check if installer has been run
*** Looks like the install hasn't been done yet, lets install
*** Install!
qemu-system-x86_64: Display 'sdl' is not available.

I am a beginner with linux so don't be too rude.

Change:

-display sdl,gl=on \

to

-display gtk,gl=on \

This worked for some folks having this issue.

Hello arindas, thanks for the answer !
I did this but I have another error that I fixed by changing -device virtio-vga-gl by -virtio-gpu-pci but it shows a QEMU black window.

I get this output :

What happens after this?

[Alg0v]

I get a black QEMU window.

[Alg0v]

Also, im on Debian 11 with a Ryzen CPU.

[arindas]

Try removing this flag once and run.

Qemu installations are not uniform across all Linux distributions. From what I have observed, some flags are not properly supported in all distributions.

[Alg0v]

You're talking about -virtio-gpu-pci or -display gtk,gl=on \ ?

[arindas]

virtio-gpu-pci

[Alg0v]

I also get a black screen. I removed both -virtio-gpu-pci and -display gtk,gl=on \ and it works ! Thank you so much for your help ! Have a nice day !
