description |
When my system Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS performs apt dist-upgrade (manually or from unattended upgrades) and there is an upadte on package qemu-guest-agent, the agent gets stopped, updated, but is not started.
I observed this behaviour on two machines with same result.
After I run the apt I see this in syslog, no errors:
Jul 19 07:04:02 micro systemd[1]: Stopping QEMU Guest Agent...
Jul 19 07:04:02 micro systemd[1]: qemu-guest-agent.service: Deactivated successfully.
Jul 19 07:04:02 micro systemd[1]: Stopped QEMU Guest Agent.
Jul 19 07:04:02 micro systemd[1]: qemu-guest-agent.service: Consumed 31min 49.962s CPU time. |
[Impact]
When upgrading qemu-guest-agent, the service is not restarted. This can cause an issue in certain scenarios such as using Terraform where the servers get automatically updated, and then get lost due to qemu-guest-agent not restarting.
[Fix]
The fix is to remove --no-start from dh_installsystemd
[Test Case]
set of steps to reproduce the issue. With the fix, qemu-guest-agent should be active after reinstalling.
$ lxc launch ubuntu:jammy j --vm -c limits.memory=8GB
$ lxc shell j
# apt update && apt install -y uvtool uvtool-libvirt
# su - ubuntu
$ ssh-keygen
$ uvt-simplestreams-libvirt sync release=jammy arch=amd64
$ uvt-kvm create test release=jammy --memory 2024
$ uvt-kvm wait test
$ uvt-kvm ssh test
# apt install qemu-guest-agent
# systemctl start qemu-guest-agent
# apt install --reinstall qemu-guest-agent
# systemctl status qemu-guest-agent
[Things that can go wrong]
- Security considerations of automatically starting qemu-guest-agent. It should be presumed that users understand the package they are installing.
- If the hypervisor can change settings to no longer support qemu-guest-agent service, then attempting to start the service will fail. I'm not sure if this scenario is possible. |
