criu c/r failed on qt gui demo & qt console demo on ubuntu

[oophelia]

Description

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. build a qt gui demo & qt console demo on ubuntu
2. find the pidof
3. sudo criu dump -t 157888 --tcp-established --shell-job -o dump.log -v4 -D cp9

it is a very easy qt demo
qt gui demo: it has a text showing seconds on mainwindow, every second +1;
qt console demo: it prints text showing seconds in qt console, every second +1;

Describe the results you received:
qt gui demo: dump failed, reports that "External socket is used". When using --ext-unix-sk, still dump failed, reports that "Can't dump half of a stream unix connection"

qt console demo: in log reports dump success and restore success. Actually not restore successfully.

Describe the results you expected:
both demo could c/r success

Output of `criu --version`:

Version: 4.0
GitID: v4.0-33-gdd6b580b4

Output of `criu check --all`:

Warn  (criu/cr-check.c:824): Dirty tracking is OFF. Memory snapshot will not work.
Warn  (criu/cr-check.c:1259): Do not have API to map vDSO - will use mremap() to restore vDSO
Warn  (criu/cr-check.c:1179): CRIU built without CONFIG_COMPAT - can't C/R compatible tasks
Looks good but some kernel features are missing
which, depending on your process tree, may cause
dump or restore failure.

Not sure what your test programs are but generally CRIU cannot checkpoint GUI applications. Have you seen https://criu.org/VNC ? It describes a possible way to do it, but processes with a GUI are not really supported.

thanks for replying, the qt gui demo doesn't work might due to this reason, but qt console demo should not using gui, it shows restore success, but i can't find it in the process.

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QTimer>
#include <iostream>
#include <signal.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
    int counter = 0;

    // Signal handlers to catch unexpected exits
    signal(SIGTERM, [](int) { std::cout << "SIGTERM caught!" << std::endl; });
    signal(SIGSEGV, [](int) { std::cout << "Segmentation fault caught!" << std::endl; });

    // Log process ID and other information
    std::cout << "PID: " << getpid() << " started." << std::endl;


    QTimer timer;
    QObject::connect(&timer, &QTimer::timeout, [&]() {
        counter++;
        std::cout << "Counter: " << counter << std::endl;
    });
    timer.start(1000);

    return app.exec();
}

Thanks for the example. Using your code I am able to checkpoint a restore the application without any problems:

# criu restore -j 
Counter: 25
Counter: 26
Counter: 27

Why do you say that the restore does not work? How do you check if the process is running?

there is no output on terminal after restore, then i check the recent pid using below command, can't find related process
ps -eo pid,lstart,cmd --sort=-lstart | head -n 10
by the way, how do you compile this code? I compiled using qt creator with qt kits, as a whole qt console application project.

[adrianreber]

by the way, how do you compile this code?

I searched and found a documentation which said to do this:

# qmake6 -project
# qmake6
# make
