Bug Description
Discovered this while doing test runs to try out the xen tests added to checkbox.
Basically, I have run checkbox-
What happens is that checkbox runs the power-management tests. It then runs virtualization/
Now, after THIS test, what SHOULD happen is that a manual reboot tests appears so the tester can reboot into the Xen hypervisor and complete testing.
What ACTUALLY happens is that the console kinda dies. The manual test appears and is automatically skipped, cauisng the xen_ok test to fail because we haven't rebooted into Xen yet.
I've tested this by skipping the KVM tests altogether. When I skip them, the reboot test runs correctly and I am able to boot into Xen and do the xen tests and get passing results. As soon as I add KVM tests back in, I get the console failure.
This is seen on my 1U supermicro server, using 12.04.1 and checkbox built in my personal PPA to test the packages and installation of them.
I made no changes to the core of checkbox and checkbox-
It also occurs any time I run the KVM tests in checkbox, regardless of whether I run the Xen and reboot tests or no. The issue appears to be something that the xen_check_vm test is doing.
As a workaround, I have done the following:
Log into a console, start checkbox-
log into a different console and do the following:
ps axf |grep checkbox
get the PID of the main checkbox-cert process
run this:
watch -n1 pstree -a PID
Switch back to the other console and continue with checkbox. At the test selection screen, de-select everything except for "power-management" and "virtualization".
once checkbox starts testing, switch to the 2nd console and watch the output of pstree until you see that the kvm tasks are no longer running (the line that says "python3 /usr/share/
once that happens, I am able to successfully switch back to the first console, execute the reboot test, and go about my merry way.
So this seems to only happen if you stay active on the console that checkbox-

I tried a couple things... if I run the kvm test script from console manually, it works fine and the console is not hosed.
However, as soon as I introduce the kvm_check_vm test into the test run, the console stops responding as described above while the kvm_check_vm test executes.
If I don't run that test, I can do the Xen test successfully. Otherwise, as mentioned above, kvm_check_vm runs, console goes nuts, this seems to be triggering a keypress that causes the manual reboot test to be skipped.
