Commit ce0a62f6c5c8ea486869360f654356777cdf918e gets rid of that.
I’ve also pushed the switch to “VMchannel” as commit
27a2c9c3e071fdb380c2f4f389b7cf4008dc75f7.
Thanks,

Hello,
On core-updates (or is it master now?), “make check-system TESTS=basic”
fails with:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Test begin:
test-name: "/run/current-system is a GC root"
source-file: "/gnu/store/irm2375f5p7nzyqqllwjfaby3ywhi5wq-basic-builder"
source-line: 2
source-form: (test-eq "/run/current-system is a GC root" (quote success!) (marionette-eval (quote (begin (add-to-load-path "/gnu/store/pn333fnrdazadmzvkbyzby8cfr176yrh-guix-0.14.0-8.bc880f9/share/guile/site/2.2") (use-modules (srfi srfi-34) (guix store)) (let ((system (readlink "/run/current-system"))) (guard (c ((nix-protocol-error? c) (and (file-exists? system) (quote success!)))) (with-store store (delete-paths store (list system)) #f))))) marionette))
Test end:
result-kind: fail
actual-value: #{\x1b;%G\x1b;%G\x1b;%G\x1b;%G\x1b;%G\x1b;%Gsuccess!}#
expected-value: success!
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
We see similar issues with other system tests.
The “\x1b;%G” sequences correspond to the “select UTF-8” console code
(see console_codes(4)). We’re receiving this as if we were a console,
but in fact all we want is to exchange raw bytes between the host and
the guest; we don’t want to be a full-fledged console.
I thought that using virtserialport instead of virtio-console might help
(see patch below), but the problem persists. I’m not sure if it’s the
kernel that decides to send these codes or what. Also unclear as to why
this happens on ‘core-updates’ and not ‘master’.
What am I missing?
Ludo’.
