Stretch and Buster VMs running on a sid host can't run our test suite
Originally created by @intrigeri on #17429 (Redmine)
Both anonym & I have seen this problem. The QEMU process that’s supposed to run Tails (aka. TailsToaster) dies complaining about CPU flags.
- Stretch VM:
- one of us does this: https://paste.debian.net/1125581/
- the other does this:
perl -pi -E "s{mode=\'host-model\'}{mode=\'host-passthrough\'}" features/domains/default.xml
- Buster VM:
- one of us does this: https://paste.debian.net/1125582/
My current understanding is that:
- This affects sid virtualization hosts, i.e. most of our core developers.
- This does not affect Stretch virtualization hosts, i.e. our CI in its current state (which is unlikely to change in the next few months).
- It’s unknown if Buster virtualization hosts are affected.
