Never used massif, don't know how to use it, but I'll do whatever I'm
told on any machine I have, real or VM.

What I'm noticing is if the VM is set to 1G RAM I pretty much always
see packagekitd crash. And it's too memory limited of an environment
for a live to then get any data out of it, even serial console with
'virsh console' hangs up for tens of minutes at a time. If I go to
1.5G RAM the packagekitd crash I'd say is rare, but the sample size so
far is maybe 10 boots. I don't know if what you need is a crashed
packagekitd to find out why it's crashing, or something else.
