trying to run virt-sysprep but it fails (see attached)
ran libguestfs-test-tool, saw similar or same errors but I don't know
which lines are significant (see other attached file)
some things that caught my attention were
"Failed to connect to virtio-serial channel."
"guestfsd: open: /dev/virtio-ports/org.libguestfs.channel.0: No such
file or directory"
