libguestfs-test-tool stuck

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libguestfs/+bug/1933490
It could be due to a bug.

Hi,

In that case, it used to shows that libkeyutils is missing but here its getting stuck.

It's unlikely to be related to the other bug. The different error messages would be obvious.

Unfortunately this one is probably a very low-level issue with the kernel booting on qemu. These are some of the hardest problems to diagnose and fix. I would first try upgrading any of these packages to see if the problem goes away:

 * kernel
 * qemu
 * seabios

If that still doesn't fix it, what's the version of all those packages?

You might also want to see if you're using TCG, or nested KVM, or if you have some underlying hypervisor weirdness (eg. are you using this on top of a VMware VM?)

I should note this isn't really a libguestfs problem. We're just the canary in the coalmine here. There's some issue with virtualization on the machine.

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

Its already latest as per OS default :

kernel -5.4.0-109-generic
qemu- 4.2-3ubuntu6.21
seabios- 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1

Its not nested.
So , Ryzen 9 is creating issues here ?

Check if nested is enabled or disabled, and then try setting it to the other setting:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/using-nested-virtualization-in-kvm/

If that makes no difference, try forcing TCG:

export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=force_tcg

and if that makes no difference, forcing KVM:

export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=force_kvm

Hi,

Still same, ends with this all the time :

We think we may have tracked this one down. There is a possible patch here:

Hi,

Thank you for your update.
Is there ETA when it would be fixed and available for all ?

It's already upstream:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/59d7e6e017b7de79bcb60e1180e15303f1e7dae8
I'd encourage you to try out the patch to see if it fixes the problem.
