Responding to c#8 Interesting question. I will have to repeat the upgrade attempt to test that. Here's what I'm tentatively thinking I will do: (1) delete the VM from my prior upgrade attempt (to reclaim disk space) (2) clone the same 42.3 VM as before (3) upgrade as before (4) if I see it freeze, I'll pause the VM, and then close virt-manager (5) restart virt-manager, run that VM, unpause, and see whether the display is still frozen Does that sound like an appropriate way of testing?
