Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Smoke in Cycles not working

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps
Open a new scene and switch to Cycles. Apply the Quick Smoke option to the default cube. Change the view to Rendered and it just show the cube.
I checked and I am rendering from the CPU and I've tried baking it,Smoke_Bug.blend

Yep, "quick smoke" operator only generates a basic volumetric material for Blender Internal engine… Cycles need a more complex node-based shader, using e.g. Volume Scatter or Volume Absorption node…

Not sure we should consider that a bug, though. Brecht, what do you say?

Not considered a bug at the moment. Smoke rendering support was just added, we'll have some builtin node for that at some point but this is an area under development, just wait a bit while it improves.
