 I’ve enabled core dumps, but I’m not getting anything when qemu quits. Qemu also seems to
operate correctly when doing virt-install.
 If it’s important this is a Ubuntu VM.

 qemu:
   Installed: 1.5.0+dfsg-3ubuntu5.2
   Candidate: 1.5.0+dfsg-3ubuntu5.2
   Version table:
  *** 1.5.0+dfsg-3ubuntu5.2 0
         500 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-updates/universe amd64 Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
      1.5.0+dfsg-3ubuntu5 0
         500 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe amd64 Packages
 
 
 Kernel:
 3.11.0-15-generic #23-Ubuntu 
It seems to be the same as mine so I don't know why it's failing.
Perhaps strace qemu to see how it quits?
virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.  Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.
