http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1160707 Bug ID: 1160707 Summary: qemu VNC console corruption Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.1 Hardware: aarch64 URL: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3773959/modules/update_ke rnel/steps/6 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Virtualization:Other Assignee: virt-bugs@suse.de Reporter: okurz@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- ## Observation openQA test in scenario sle-12-SP4-Server-DVD-Incidents-Kernel-aarch64-install_ltp+sle+Server-DVD-Incidents-Kernel@aarch64-virtio fails in [update_kernel](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3773959/modules/update_kernel/steps/6) as a random problem sometimes appears on aarch64 test machines where the VM screen isn't properly cleared after boot and console output gets drawn over remnants of boot splash screen. Then the job fails because needles don't match. The problem appears less than once a week and job restart usually fixes it but it might be worth investigating further. ## Reproducible Sporadic ## Expected result Last good: [4.12.14-449.1.g4163e5c](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3768894) (or more recent) ## Further details Always latest result in this scenario: [latest](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?arch=aarch64&distri=sle&flavor=Server-DVD-Incidents-Kernel&machine=aarch64-virtio&test=install_ltp%2Bsle%2BServer-DVD-Incidents-Kernel&version=12-SP4) The problem appears on the osd (openqa.suse.de) aarch64 workers.
