[Bug 1466486] Re: Various usability issues with adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 3.15.1

---------------
autopkgtest (3.15.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Fix lsb_release fallback if python3-distro-info
    is not available.
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Don't move the uninitialized image to final
    location if QEMU failed.
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Check availability of genisoimage and access of
    /dev/kvm before downloading image. (LP: #1466486)
  * Get along with dpkg-query not existing, such as in latest Ubuntu Snappy
    images. Skip generation of testbed-packages artifact in that case.
    (LP: #1469647)
  * Adjust NullRunner.test_tmp_install test case to work with pygobject 3.16.

Title:
  Various usability issues with adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'genisoimage'

  Similar to bug 1460066, it would be nice if I discovered this before
  downloading the image, or the downloaded image were cached so I didn't
  have to download it again.

  Second, on retry I get:

  Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission denied
  failed to initialize KVM: Permission denied
  qemu failed with status 1

  ...because I didn't belong to the kvm group.

  My workflow often involves running autopkgtest on a fresh VM, so I hit
  these kinds of things often. Maybe a image download cache is the only
  real solution that will work, rather than trying to manage each thing
  individually?
