Verified the bug with:
virt-viewer-0.5.7-6.el7.x86_64
Steps:
1.Check virt-viewer manual,options about --kiosk have been added.
# man virt-viewer
-k, --kiosk
Start in kiosk mode. In this mode, the application will start in fullscreen with minimal UI. It will
prevent the user from quitting or performing any interaction outside of usage of the remote desktop
session.
Note that it can't offer a complete secure solution by itself. Your kiosk system must have
additional configuration and security settings to lock down the OS. In particular, you must
configure or disable the window manager, limit the session capabilities, use some restart/watchdog
mechanism, disable VT switching etc.
--kiosk-quit <never|on-disconnect>
By default, when kiosk mode is enabled, virt-viewer will remain open when the connection to the
remote server is terminated. By setting kiosk-quit option to "on-disconnect" value, virt-viewer will
quit instead. Please note that --reconnect takes precedence over this option, and will attempt to do
a reconnection before it quits.
2.Test -k and --kiosk option.
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 -k
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 --kiosk
Guest will be opened in fullscreen with minimal UI.
3.Test --kiosk-quit option.
3.1 Test --kiosk-quit never or default mode.
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 -k
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 --kiosk --kiosk-quit never
When destroy the guest named rhel6.5,virt-viewer will keep and never quit.
3.2 Test --kiosk-quit on-disconnect mode.
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 --kiosk --kiosk-quit on-disconnect
When destroy the guest named rhel6.5,virt-viewer will quit.
3.3 Test --kiosk-quit with --reconnect option.
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 --kiosk --kiosk-quit on-disconnect --reconnect
When destroy the guest named rhel6.5,virt-viewer will not quit and wait for the guest to restart,so --reconnect takes precedence over --kiosk-quit.
4.Repeat step 2 and step 3 with remote-viewer,it works well.
Refer to the above comments,move the bug to VERIFIED.
