Package: qemu-system Version: 1:9.1.0+ds-8 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: hank.k...@gmail.com Dear Maintainer, I have been running a Windows 10 guest in QEMU/KVM without issues for over 2 years. After a recent update of the qemu packages to the version just before the current one in sid, the Windows guest starts normally but freezes completely just a few moments after logging in. The GUI becomes unresponsive and the only solution is to force the instance to quit.
I've been running several windows 10 and 11 guests for quite some time, -- I test new qemu releases using these guests too. No problems with 9.1.x so far, - or else I'd notice it long ago, obviously :) Nothing about this in recent upstream qemu issues either.. Due to this, lowering severity to normal. For a start, please provide the qemu command line you use to launch your VM. Without this, it's impossible to say what's going on. Also, please specify which version of windows do you run, - this might be important, or might be not. And, - try to find out what it is doing a few moments after logging in. BTW, does it respond to network requests, to pings, or is it completely frozen? Somehow people often mention logs, or inability to find logs - I wonder why this happens. qemu emulates a CPU (actually whole system), it does not understand what is running inside it, so can not produce any meaningful logs. It can produce disassembly of the code it is running though, - but there, it usually isn't easy to understand what the guest OS is actually doing. On the windows side, it does have some diagnostic tools, but if it just freezes, there's not much we can do there either. So there's no logs. Thanks, /mjt
