Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Christophe Fergeau 2013-10-10 15:57:14 UTC

Trying to connect to a RHEL5 VM causes a warning in the console '(remote-viewer:9644): GSpice-WARNING **: major mismatch (got 1, expected 2)' and an error message that it couldn't connect to the remote VM.
Tested with spice-gtk.x86_64 0:0.20-9.el6

This is fixed by http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2013-October/014897.html, scratch build with these 2 patches available from http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=6398063

Comment 2 David Jaša 2014-02-20 12:51:28 UTC

We have access to one VM running on RHEV2.2/RHEL5.y host --> qa_ack+

FWIW, connection works fine with F20 client (spice-gtk-0.23-1.fc20.x86_64) so the fix should work fine in RHEL6/7 as well once it makes its way to the builds...
