Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading Debian/testing
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
# apt -u -V dist-upgrade
* What was the outcome of this action?
None of my auto-start VM's boot with the system comes up
* What outcome did you expect instead?
All of my auto-start VM's get executed while the system comes up
misabnormaly described above.
Here the problem that shows up with journalctl:

As you can see above, the libvirtd process from root while the system comes up
dumps core.
After the system enters login ready state, I can manually start my auto-start
VM's with virt-manger -- which works good.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Adrian Kiess
Dear Maintainer, I like to make a addition: I configured my VM guests like this: root@elitedesk /home/adrian # cat /etc/default/libvirt-guests | grep ON_SHUTDOWN #Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown, you must also set SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT to a #ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown ON_SHUTDOWN=suspend A few days ago, I experienced a power outage and when starting my system back up, the VM's came up OK with auto-start while now being run as cold-start and not from suspend. With resume from suspend previously reported error persists. Thank you. Adrian Kiess
Hello dear Maintainer, I like to make the following addition — The error I find with journalctl about the first reported segfault is the following: root@elitedesk /home/adrian # journalctl -n10000 | grep segfault Aug 08 06:34:31 elitedesk.lan.dac kernel: daemon-init[4290]: segfault at 88 ip 00007f984b8e9228 sp 00007f9823ffe548 error 4 in libvirt_driver_qemu.so[e9228,7f984b84c000+13b000] likely on CPU 2 (core 2, socket 0) Thank you. Adrian
