[Bug 1529079] Re: Can't start virtual machines after upgrade to Xenial

 

> I still cannot reproduce this at all, even when starting VMs from virt-manager.
Well, for fresh install this is not reproducible for me too. And 15.10-16.04 upgrade may not be actual trigger - both testing systems get upgraded for a long time, Kubuntu from 11.04 as I remember. So there is may be something ancient that showed up just now. Or not so ancient - maybe some upstart->systemd upgrade issue. I have no idea actually what it may be. How I can help here find what's going on?

> Are you still able to reproduce this? (I'm wondering whether perhaps there was a temporary bad state of systemd and libvirt being out of sync some magical way)
Still reproducible on my testing Kubuntu 16.04 setup. I can try Ubuntu Server 15.10->16.04 upgrade once again, if necessary. Is it needed if issue still reproducible on updated Kubuntu 16.04?

  Can't start virtual machines after upgrade to Xenial.

  On Ubuntu Server 16.04:
  # virsh start testserver
  Cannot set property Before, or unknown property.

  On Kubuntu 16.04:
  Cannot set property Before, or unknown property.

  At this moment there is no libvirt or systemd-related error messages in syslog when this error appear on the screen (or virsh output). Both systems was upgraded from 15.10.
