Re: [dts] [PATCH 1/2] framework/qemu_kvm: fix vm control session failure

["Liu, Yong" <yong.liu@intel.com>]

Hi Phil,
>From the error log, issue was caused by lsof command not installed. Qemu module will check whether connection has been established by this tool.
Could you please install it and try again? If that fix the issue, I think only shell regression need to be changed.

Thanks,
Marvin
