Hi there
I was about 65% through updating the "Birdie" / Canary build to the latest version on a VM with VMware WKS on a Windows Host -- I needed to travel so I put the VM into "Pause" and shut down the computer.
On restarting the following day -- the VM didn't "Resume" from the paused point but re-started so Windows (in the VM) gave "Undoing changes to computer" so I have to go through the whole kybosh again.
And to add insult to injury WU starts downloading the whole update again -- surely it should have the previous download or does the "Roll back" remove all vestiges of the failed update process.
Perhaps I should have taken a snapshot -- it's unclear. All I wanted to do was just "resume" the VM.
So VmWare WKS - 0 Linux KVM/QEMU 1. !!!! KVM GUEST resumes after HOST re-boot. which is what I would expect.
I think Hyper-V has decent pause VM -- anybody using Hyper-V does a paused guest resume after a HOST re-boot. ??
Cheers
