+    # XXX: Once we use Jessie, use @domain.reset instead.
+    system("virsh reset " + @domain_name) if is_running?

For whatever reason, the TailsToaster domain isn’t present for me (also checked with virsh list), so I get the following error in both anti-tests:

     When I fill the guest's memory with a known pattern without verifying # features/step_definitions/erase_memory.rb:78

error: failed to get domain 'TailsToaster'
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown

    And I reboot without wiping the verifying # features/step_definitions/erase_memory.rb:78

error: failed to get domain 'TailsToaster'
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown

    And I reboot without wiping the memory                                # features/step_definitions/erase_memory.rb:159

      FindFailed: can not find TailsBootSplashPostReset.png on the screen.
      Line ?, in File ? (RuntimeError)

If I switch back to sysrq-resetting (revert commit 443d2d9) it works memory # features/step_definitions/erase_memory.rb:159

FindFailed: can not find TailsBootSplashPostReset.png on the screen.
Line ?, in File ? (RuntimeError)

If I switch back to sysrq-resetting (revert commit 443d2d9) it works fine.
