Description Jens Petersen 2015-08-12 05:11:45 UTC
Description of problem:
After some recent update (less than a month ago perhaps)
graphical hosts booted from virt-manager now boot
to a much larger screen size than previously.
This is quite annoying since one basically need to
scale the guest windows so that they fit on monitor.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-1.2.1-1.fc22

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot guest in Virt Manager on F22 (or F23)

Actual results:
After booting the guest screen is as big or bigger than host display.


Expected results:
Smaller screen sizes for guests like before.

Additional info:
I didn't try reverting to a previous version.

This might be something along the lines of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1240820

But you say you've seen this on f22 as well, are you using the fedora-virt-preview repo? What libvirt version do you have?

Is this for new VMs only, or even pre-existing ones?

Comment 2 Parag Nemade 2015-08-12 14:22:51 UTC
I too saw this on Fedora 22 few days ago but as fedora 23 got frozen I stopped using virt-manager for sometime and now fresh installed f23 as host system last week. I today tried to install F23 Alpha using virt-manager, first time on this fresh system. The moment I got anaconda installation screen it showed bigger screen( unable to fit on all contents on same screen).

I tried different options in View menu. Finally got full contents when enabled just checkbox View->Scale Display-> "Auto resize VM with windows" and View->Scale Display-> Always.

This was not the case in Fedora 22 host. So, I can reproduce above for f23 on f23 for new VM's.

Especially Gtk2 based guests seem to suffer from this restriction in somewhere the complex SPICE logic.

Easily reproduced today also.
Host is using

Comment 5 Parag Nemade 2015-09-08 03:30:41 UTC
This is really causing issues with installation UI and then in installed system the window is way to bigger.

Comment 6 Cole Robinson 2015-09-12 15:56:22 UTC
Poked at this, turns out its a spice-gtk issue with a fix upstream. Duping to that bug, I'll do builds shortly
