Description Michal Skrivanek 2016-05-18 07:43:06 UTC
as a preparation for removal of Legacy USB support (hopefully in 4.1) we will add "(deprecated)" label to the current UI

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1333436 +++

Description of problem:
Let's drop Legacy USB altogether:
  * it was by no means reliable nor secure
  * it was superseded by UsbDk that was already shipped in 3.6
  * its vendor support expired years ago
  * its both components had limited OS support and those OSs are ageing and
    falling out of use
  * it depends on browser plug-ins that are being phased out

There are three places with Legacy USB(-related) code:
  * engine (drop Legacy option of USB redirection and associated code)
  * windows guest tools (drop USB driver)
  * client (menu over socket/named pipe)

and a Console client resources web page (bug 1348984)

ovirt-engine-4.0.2-0.1.rc.el7ev.noarch

ovirt-engine/rhev/client-resources page has broken links to USB Clerk.
Please read Doc Text for this bug.
USBClerk should be removed.

Comment 4 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2016-07-22 09:54:42 UTC
Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

This is an upstream bug. The doc text should not refer to RHEV as well as the verification should not be of the console client resources RHEV page but rather the upstream one (pointing to http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/virt/console-client-resources/) when there is no mentioning of USBClerk

This needs a d/s bug similar to bug 1340130

Comment 6 Andrei Stepanov 2016-07-22 10:19:35 UTC
Please look at the history of this bug.

Duplicate of this bug: 1348984

You closed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1348984 as a duplicate of this this.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1348984 --- was not fixed.

As 1348984 is a duplicate of this bug, I am sure that this wasn't fixed. Please, re-open 1348984 if you want to get away from 1348984 dependency.

Comment 7 Michal Skrivanek 2016-07-22 10:23:22 UTC
yes. And i didn't notice it back then. It has a wrong product as well. It was reproted on d/s page but filed against upstream
I will change that one(no need for a new bz number :) and keep this bug for upstream which I hope it's addressed
