GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 676214
boxes freeze at vm shutdown
Last modified: 2016-03-31 13:55:31 UTC
Created attachment 214238 [details] the output from terminal when i poweroff the parted magic live cd "box" ( pmagic_2012_05_14.iso ), the gnome-boxes interface is no longer responding. click on "New" or the recycle button has no effect.
This was found during the fedora test days, the iso is available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/files/partedmagic/Parted%20Magic%202012_05_14/pmagic_2012_05_14.iso/download
NB (unrelated to this bug): (gnome-boxes:2218): Boxes-WARNING **: fedora-installer.vala:179: Failed to fetch prefered keyboard layout from user settings, falling back to 'us'.. The used layout is the default/standard one on a us english system $ gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts @as [] Does that mean the keymap list is empty ?
At the end if express install of fedora 17 rc1 x86, i eventually get this kind of messages (9 times, till now (maybe two hours after i started the install)): (gnome-boxes:10353): Boxes-WARNING **: libvirt-machine.vala:261: Fetching of stats for 'Fedora 17' is taking too long. Probably a libvirt bug. i'd say that maybe this is the real problem.
Created attachment 214248 [details] backtrace attempt i've attempted to collect a backtrace. please let me know if it's useful :)
Created attachment 214249 [details] second backtrace in order to make sure it's the same freeze, i've backtraced the reboot from parte magic live cd.
Thats one problem with mainloop based async programming: stack traces aren't very useful usually. Based on past experience and comment#3, my first guess would be that its a libvirt/libvirt-glib issue. To prove me right or wrong, if you could reproduce this bug and check that libvirtd isn't hung at that time by running `virsh list`, that would be a good start towards tracing this.

For what it's worth, I've seen this bug a few times, it seems starting a vm, showing it maximized in the window, going back to the collection view and trying to show it again is enough to trigger it.
Reopening as I can't see any open non developer question.
(In reply to comment #10) > Reopening as I can't see any open non developer question. Its in comment#6.
Marking it as needinfo, not just because of question in comment#6 but also to see if this is still reproducible even.
