Hello Heinrich, or anyone else affected, Accepted qemu into noble-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/1:8.2.2+ds-0ubuntu1.17 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Noble) Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed-noble ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed-jammy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2133804 Title: QEMU does not emulate IOCTL TCGETS2 Status in QEMU: Fix Released Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in qemu source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in qemu source package in Noble: Fix Committed Status in qemu source package in Plucky: Won't Fix Status in qemu source package in Questing: Fix Committed Status in qemu source package in Resolute: Fix Released Bug description: [ Impact ] - Terminal prompt is missing for multiarch containers with qemu-user - Users cannot see the prompt but still can type the commands However the absence of the prompt can be misleading and make users think that the container hangs. - this fix implements the missing ioctl TERMIOS2 [ Test Plan ] On an amd64 host $ sudo apt install -y docker.io qemu-user-static $ sudo usermod -aG docker ubuntu $ newgrp docker $ docker run --platform=linux/arm64 -it ubuntu:26.04 bash (this runs on AMD64 host, if you are runnig on ARM64, use -platform=linux/riscv64 instead) After docker pulls the image and run the container, you cannot see the prompt ...

There might be regressions on the prompt display. The prompt display is widely used so potential regressions should be visible quickly. [ Other Info ] None -- Original bug report --- In Ubuntu 25.10 we moved to glibc 2.42. Here glibc has changed the implementation of isatty(). It now uses IOCTL TCGETS2 instead of TCGETS. TCGETS2 is not emulated by static QEMU (qemu-riscv64, qemu- arm64, ...). This leads to failures in containers for foreign architectures. E.g. no console prompt is displayed. A detailed analysis is contained in LP #2133188. A proper implementation of the missing IOCTLs will include: Functions: in linux-user/syscall.c: host_to_target_termios2() target_to_host_termios2() print_termios2() Definitions: in linux-user/syscall.c #define termios2 host_termios2 in linux-user/syscall_types.h STRUCT_SPECIAL(termios2) in linux-user/ioctls.h: IOCTL(TCGETS2, IOC_R, MK_PTR(MK_STRUCT(STRUCT_termios2))) IOCTL(TCSETS2, IOC_W, MK_PTR(MK_STRUCT(STRUCT_termios2))) IOCTL(TCSETSF2, IOC_W, MK_PTR(MK_STRUCT(STRUCT_termios2))) IOCTL(TCSETSW2, IOC_W, MK_PTR(MK_STRUCT(STRUCT_termios2))) in linux-user/user-internals.h: void print_termios2(void *arg); To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/2133804/+subscriptions
