Package: xen-system-amd64 Version: 4.17.1+2-gb773c48e36-1 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, after upgrading my bullseye server to bookworm I ran into the issue that all VMs of type hvm are not starting anymore. xl throws an error: libxl: error: libxl_qmp.c:1399:qmp_ev_fd_callback: Domain 8:error on QMP socket: Connection reset by peer libxl: error: libxl_qmp.c:1438:qmp_ev_fd_callback: Domain 8:Error happened with the QMP connection to QEMU libxl: error: libxl_dm.c:3371:device_model_postconfig_done: Domain 8:Post DM startup configs failed, rc=-26 libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1896:domcreate_devmodel_started: Domain 8:device model did not start: -26 libxl: error: libxl_aoutils.c:646:libxl__kill_xs_path: Device Model already exited libxl: error: libxl_domain.c:1183:libxl__destroy_domid: Domain 8:Non-existant domain libxl: error: libxl_domain.c:1137:domain_destroy_callback: Domain 8:Unable to destroy guest libxl: error: libxl_domain.c:1064:domain_destroy_cb: Domain 8:Destruction of domain failed I started digging around in this QMP stuff and installed Xen freshly on another server with the actual bookworm iso, but the problem is the same there, too. After reading the log of the VM I found this error: xen-qemu-system-i386: -vnc 172.17.2.3:1,password=on,to=99: Cipher backend does not support DES algorithm When disabling the vncpassword (and keeping the rest of the VM configuration untouched), xl is able to launch the VM properly. I searched around for a while but I did not find any configuration option for choosing the cipher used by vnc. Running vnc without password is a potential security risk. I hope you have a clue to either fix this or extend the documentation on this.
