I am using virt-manager and qemu/KVM to run a few virtual machines on my desktop.
Recently, I started getting an error message when trying to open the console of a VM (this happens for all VMs):
Internal error: failed to parse JSON 1:59: too big integer near ‘18446744073709551615’
Apparently the bug is due to virt-manager switching to a different JSON library. The problems appears to be resolved upstream, so I am optimistic it will be fixed in Tumbleweed soon, as well.
For the time being, has anyone found a workaround?
Fortunately, I mostly just ssh into my VMs, so it is not a huge deal, but still.
I would guess maybe one of the configuration files for the VMs have a max
amount of virtual memory in them, and that number happens to be 2^64-1, so
it is probably coded in there If that’s the case, perhaps you can just go
to the file, make it some more-reasonable number, and then try it at that
point.
You mentioned it is fixed upstream; perhaps you could incorporate the fix
directly into your system. If you share the link to the upstream fix,
that may help us confirm that suspicion.

Good luck.

I am glad to hear it. That detail may help others in your situation in
the future, particularly since it was a known issue fixed upstream. Nice
to know Tumbleweed is rolling as quickly as we believe it is.
