Description of problem:

Hi,

we just discovered a bug in ovirt-engine 3.3.1 beta from ovirt.org repo:

You can't create a VM with the following options:

set VM-Name
select Operating System: "Other Linux", "Linux", or any Linux distro
click: "Show advanced options"
switch: console: protocol: from SPICE to VNC

Hit "Ok"

receive the following error in webadmin gui:

"Error while executing action:

bug1:

    Cannot add VM. Cannot set single display device via VNC display."


(bug1 is the vm-name)

workaround1: select "other os" or any windows version and the setup works with vnc
workaround2: select spice as protocol
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


Actual results:
vm gets not created

Expected results:
vm does get created, no matter which os is selected

Additional info:

I suggest this as a blocker bug for 3.3.1 release

shahar, more recent QXL fix is missing a backport?

oVirt gerrit 21252 has been merged in 3.3.1 branch.
Comment 4 Sven Kieske 2013-11-15 10:24:49 UTC 
I can confirm that this works with 3.3.1-2
we were also able to set the correct keyboard layout.
