These sort of surprises is why I have $HOME under Git control (with a very long 
.gitignore).

There's always one, isn't there?   :)

Do you use qemu-guest-agent in the windows vm?

Have you tried recompiling  qemu, libvirt-* against the actual kernel on 
the host?


maybe /var/log/libvirt/qemu/.log tells something interesting.

in another case it helped here to recompile complete gentoo server.

Do you use stable atoms or unstable?


kind regards

Yes, it is.

'Default Leave Option', below it, is set at 'End current session'.

I wouldn't think the user ever interfered with these settings from what would 
have been the defaults.  What would have changed to remove the permissions 
this user have had?  Where can I check this?

Check System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Desktop Session. is "Offer
shutdown options" enabled? It could also be a permissions thing if your
user no longer has permission to execute the shutdown and reboot commands.

I mentioned the libvirt error message in the bug report.
What else is interesting?

The gentoo host has 16 GB RAM, and the single VM is configured with 8
gigs ... so that looks ok to me.

host # free -m
  totalusedfree  shared  buff/cache
available
Mem:  1601584963138   54379
  7261

Thanks guys, I just rebooted and still every submenu entry under 'Leave' is 
gone, except for 'Lock' and 'Logout'.  This is weird.  What could be causing 
this?

[gentoo-user] QEMU: windows guest crashing

2018-05-30 Thread Stefan G. Weichinger
maybe someone has hit that as well:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/656886

bug report at redhat is from yesterday (!)

-

That windows guest is shutting down and/or crashing now and then.
Same QEMU/libvirt combo at another site runs >20 VMs without problems.

I'd be happy to find some workaround or fix as it is a bit problematic
to have the customer email every few days that his server VM is down.
Gives bad reputation ...

If helpful I will post VM.xml etc
