Steps to Reproduce

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

  1. Set up CAPE as per docs
  2. Install guacamole
  3. Set up nginx
  4. Spin up test with
  • Interactive desktop
  • Manual detonation (Must be used with Interactive desktop!)
  1. Do anything
  2. Tried to hit on Finish task or whatever it was called - nothing happened after this
  3. Power off VM through windows itself
  4. Task did not finish so restarted everything
  5. Now everything fails immediately

Context

Nothing is really special about the setup...

Analyses dir is also not containing anything

ls storage/analyses/

Do you have any other ideas where I can find logs etc?

I am using kvm:

cat conf/kvm.conf
[kvm]
# Specify a comma-separated list of available machines to be used. For each
# specified ID you have to define a dedicated section containing the details
# on the respective machine. (E.g. cuckoo1,cuckoo2,cuckoo3)
machines = analytics01

interface = vnet0
# To connect to local or remote host
dsn = qemu:///system

# To allow copy & paste. For details see example below
[analytics01]
label = analytics01
platform = windows
ip = 192.168.122.188
arch = x86
# tags = winxp,acrobat_reader_6
snapshot = Start_No_Win_Updates
# resultserver_ip = 192.168.122.101
# reserved = no
