Now older versions of qemu-kvm didn't throw this error say if you just had "-video cirrus" when starting qemu-kvm. But newer versions do care.
And this probably only applies to you if you are running from bash/terminal with remote kvm images.
What you need to do is remove the "-video" part and just add -vnc :5
eg. this would fix the error:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -boot order=cd,once=dc -m 1024 -drive........
To get the first X letters of a word:
It's very simple you can just pipe it to head with
-c 1 (gives the first letter and so on)
-c2 (2 gives the first 2 letters).
echo "dsjfsdlksjdklf;jlsd;kflasdj;kl"|head -c 2
Returns ds
To get the last X letters of a word:
Now we use tail with -c but it works differently. ........
