Indeed when you run this, the whole set of processes goes into "T" state, i. e. it received a SIGSTOP:

When I run the command that boottest.sh runs manually, it works fine: + timeout 600 adt-run --debug --no-built-binaries --unbuilt-tree /tmp/boottest/scripts/../tests/getpkgsrc -o pkgsrc --apt-pocket=proposed --setup-commands=adt-commands --- qemu /srv/vm/adt-vivid-amd64-cloud.img So we need to find out what causes adt-run to get STOPed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415944 Title: adt-virt-qemu hang To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autopkgtest/+bug/1415944/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
