http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=982230 Bug ID: 982230 Summary: Boxes always fails to restore a machine from its saved state Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME Assignee: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: badshah400@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 678826 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=678826&action=edit ~/.cache/libvirt/qemu/log/boxes-unknown-2.log Apparently you can just close gnome-boxes while a vm is running in it and it should save the state of the running machine to disk for future use. When boxes is started thereafter and one starts the vm again, it should resume from its saved state. Instead boxes complains "resuming from saved state failed. Try to restart?" and upon clicking "OK" the vm boots from fresh losing all saved info in the process. The following is what is printed to the journal during a typical boxes -> close and restart session: May 30 15:30:08 mal libvirtd[20082]: operation failed: job: unexpectedly failed May 30 15:30:08 mal virtlogd[20254]: libvirt version: 1.3.4 May 30 15:30:08 mal virtlogd[20254]: hostname: mal.xxx May 30 15:30:08 mal virtlogd[20254]: End of file while reading data: Input/output error May 30 15:30:08 mal virtlogd[20254]: Cannot open log file: '/home/atri/.cache/libvirt/qemu/log/boxes-unknown-2.log': Device or resource busy May 30 15:30:08 mal libvirtd[20082]: Cannot open log file: '/home/atri/.cache/libvirt/qemu/log/boxes-unknown-2.log': Device or resource busy May 30 15:30:08 mal virtlogd[20254]: End of file while reading data: Input/output error May 30 15:30:08 mal libvirtd[20082]: Unable to restore from managed state /home/atri/.config/libvirt/qemu/save/boxes-unknown-2.save. Maybe the file is corrupted? The log file in question exists and is very much readable. E.g.: see attached log file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
