I've been trying to test a clean config of ES stack on an Ubuntu VM following [Install Elasticsearch with Debian Package | Elasticsearch Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html#deb-repo)
The system was a clean install to a 4 core 4GB VM on 20.04.2 and kernel 5.4.0-74-generic
only other installs to the system were:
default-jre
openssh-server
nginx
kibana
```auto
$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.11" 2021-04-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.11+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2.20.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.11+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2.20.04, mixed mode, sharing)
```
I've tried both through `sudo apt-get install elasticsearch` and `sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-7.13.2-amd64.deb` after doing a sha512 hash check. Both with and without default-jre installed (using the package JDK with elasticsearch).
Running with `sudo dpkg -D777 -i elasticsearch-7.13.2-amd64.deb`, the install stops at:
```auto
D000200: conffderef in='/etc/default/elasticsearch' current working='/etc/default/elasticsearch'
D000200: conffderef nonexistent
D000020: deferred_configure '/etc/default/elasticsearch' (= '/etc/default/elasticsearch') useredited=-1 distedited=-1 what=24

D000002: fork/exec /var/lib/dpkg/info/elasticsearch.postinst ( configure )
```
and `htop` has about 14 child processes spawned with the command:
`/usr/share/elasticsearch/jdk/bin/java -Xshare:auto -Xms4m -Xmx64m -XX:+UseSerialGC -Des.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch -Des.path.conf=/etc/elasticsearch -Des.distribution.flavor=default -Des.distribution.type=deb -cp /usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/*:/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/tools/keystore-cli/* org.elasticsearch.common.settings.KeyStoreCli create`
one of which spins at 100% CPU until killed.
The crash log from the install:

Just to be clear, it's installed but then fails on startup?
What do the Elasticsearch logs show?

It fails during the install, it either dumps a Java error or hangs with a Java process that needs to be killed as part of the post-installation scripts. I’ve tried 7.13.2, 7.13.1, 7.13.0, and 7.6.2 deb packages and all do the same thing so far.
There is no elasticsearch log as it never installs, hence I’m not able to start it.
For example:
```auto
ubuntu@es-master1:~$ sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-7.6.2-amd64.deb
[sudo] password for ubuntu:

the problem sounds very similar to [Working with elasticsearch-keystore](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/working-with-elasticsearch-keystore/234429)
and possibly [Docs say elasticsearch-keystore must be run as the elasticsearch user but that fails because of permissions · Issue #66133 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/66133)
it's getting to `/var/lib/dpkg/info/elasticsearch.postinst` and hanging at the `elasticsearch-keystore create` in this seciton of that file:
```auto
# the equivalent code for rpm is in posttrans
if ["$PACKAGE" = "deb"]; then
if [! -f "${ES_PATH_CONF}"/elasticsearch.keystore]; then
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-keystore create
chown root:elasticsearch "${ES_PATH_CONF}"/elasticsearch.keystore
chmod 660 "${ES_PATH_CONF}"/elasticsearch.keystore
md5sum "${ES_PATH_CONF}"/elasticsearch.keystore > "${ES_PATH_CONF}"/.elasticsearch.keystore.initial_md5sum
else
if /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-keystore has-passwd --silent ; then
echo "### Warning: unable to upgrade encrypted keystore" 1>&2
echo " Please run elasticsearch-keystore upgrade and enter password" 1>&2

so, this seems to be a concurrency check problem, I've overriden ES\_JAVA\_HOME and finally get to this:
```auto
D000002: fork/exec /var/lib/dpkg/info/elasticsearch.postinst ( configure )
Future versions of Elasticsearch will require Java 11; your Java version from [/usr/local/java/jre1.8.0_291] does not meet this requirement. Consider switching to a distribution of Elasticsearch with a bundled JDK. If you are already using a distribution with a bundled JDK, ensure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set.

I'm completely at a loss at what to do to get this working.

update
so the install of ES on the _host_ machine at 20.04.2 works fine, just the install in the qemu-kvm guest is hanging with this java error on creating the keystore.
thoughts?

UPDATE 2:
after digging through various libvirt/kvm configs, I figured out the problem. For some reason libvirt defaulted to generate a domain cpu config of:
```auto
EPYC
AMD
...
```
When the host cpu was an Intel Xeon with VT-x enabled. After changing the config with `virsh edit ` and then SHUTTING DOWN the domain, i.e. NOT a restart, it installed properly. Thanks to [virsh edit vs virsh dumpxml - Red Hat Customer Portal](https://access.redhat.com/discussions/2720821) for this little nuance. So now a dumpxml of the domain shows:
```auto
```
