[Pyvix-discuss] possibly the same problem?

[Eric B. <eri...@gm...>]

Hello again..

I'm not sure if this is the same problem that you were describing or not,
but here goes:

When I try and run a program in a guest VM, it works the first time.  Then,
if I revert to a snapshot, and try to do it again, it hangs!  It even blocks
my ctrl+c signal.  I have tried re-logging into the guest VM first, but that
doesn't seem to help.  Here is what I am trying:

from pyvix import vix

h = vix.Host()
v = h.openVM("/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/SpywareSandbox/Windows XP
Professional.vmx")

v.revertToSnapshot(v.rootSnapshots[0])
v.loginInGuest("Administrator","pass")
v.runProgramInGuest("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe","")

v.revertToSnapshot(v.rootSnapshots[0])
v.loginInGuest("Administrator","pass")
v.runProgramInGuest("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe","")


It hangs before it gets to the second one.  I have tried adding an
artificial delay between the revertToSnapshot and the login/runprogram but
it doesn't seem to work.  I'm not sure if this is exactly the same as what
you were describing, but it might be related.
