Installed QEMU on Debian 5.0 (full updated) machine via apt-get install qemu. All went well and QEMU was installed, but any command I send to qemu-img or qemu does nothing but return --help print out. I've tried:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 txp.img 10g
qemu-img create c.img 3g
This is really frustrating as it does not give me an error message or anything other than a blank start tell me how to use it.
Code:
rizean@mdesktop:~$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 txp.img 10g
