Description Michal Skrivanek 2013-09-11 06:51:49 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1006490 +++

Description of problem:
I was unable to connect to the console of a running VM through the Ovirt web interface. I received the following error via VDSM on the host (log extracts below):
    error : qemuDomainChangeGraphics:1873 : internal error cannot change listen address setting on vnc graphics

I received a similar error when trying to use Spice.

Upgrading to latest libvirt (1.1.2-1) resolves the issue and VNC console connections function as expected.

Filing bug to suggest that libvirt >= 1.1.0 be required for oVirt 3.3 on Fedora 19.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Fedora 19 (engine and host)
- ovirt-engine 3.3.0-1
- VDSM 4.12.1
- qemu 1.4.2
- libvirt 1.0.5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install oVirt as normal
2. Create VM as normal, set console to VNC
3. Start VM and attempt to connect to console through oVirt web interface

Actual results:
On clicking console icon, dialog box appears with message:
    'VDSErrorException: Failed to SetVmTicketVDS, error = Unexpected exception'

Expected results:
VNC console (either native or noVNC) should appear and be connected to the running VM

Is there a F19 libvirt bug on this? Please open one if there is none. I do not think F19 has libvirt >= 1.1.0, so we cannot require it (yet?).

Has there been a change in the listening address, btw? There should be only a change in the passwd and its ttl.
