[Bug 1776269] Re: Installer causes VM to be paused

2018-06-13 Thread Robie Basak
Thank you for reporting back - it'll be helpful to others searching for a solution to the same problem. I think you've concluded that the cause wasn't a bug in the qemu package in Ubuntu then? So I'll set the bug status to Invalid to reflect this. If I've misunderstood, please do explain and reope

Thanks. This put me on the right track and I was able to solve the problem. I will summarise the steps I took. (The PCI address in my case is 26:00.0 - take that into account when reading further) On the KVM host, execute the following: dmesg | grep -i 'vfio.*26[:]00' This produced the following

Ah you mean reverse, to have the version of Artful used in Bionic. You can do so without even a PPA: cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/artful.list sed -i.bak s/bionic/artful/g /etc/apt/sources.list.d/artful.list apt-cache policy libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-daemon-system: I

Actually checking the issue in more detail it seems even more that neither libvirt nor qemu is "it". Instead many users report similar issues [1][2] due to the host grabbing (part of) the device. That leads to a conflict then. So I'd ask to check if any of that applies to your bionic system, may

How difficult would it be to have a PPA repository with the qemu / libvirt version that was distributed with 17.10? I know that 18.04 is an LTS and therefore big software changes will not happen. I have to rebuild a server and install 17.10 if I do not get a solution to this process quickly. Any he

Hi John, I didn't merge a newer libvirt for Cosmic yet that you could test right now. Also the attachment you mentioned didn't make it to the bug, would you mind attaching it (again)? Usually dropping to paused means that qemu ran e.g. into an assertion or something like it. So (maybe you had al
