Description Andrei Stepanov 2016-06-28 13:58:14 UTC
Selected option "Enable WAN" at Console dialogue cannot be undone for Windows guests.

rhevm-spice-client-x64-msi-4.0-2.el7ev.noarch

* Mon Jun 13 2016 Uri Lublin <uril> - 4.0-2
- mingw-virt-viewer 2.0-10
- mingw-spice-gtk   0.31-2

RHEV 4.0.0-19

How reproducible: always


1. Have a VM with a Windows guest.
2. Open "Console options" for the VM.
3. Check "Enable WAN options".
4. Connect to the VM with remote-viewer.
5. Make sure that "WAN options" are applied. (Number of colours is reduced to 16 bit).
6. Close connection.
7. un-check "Enable WAN options".
8. Connect to the VM again.

All further connections to VM will have reduced colours, disabled animation, etc..

It is also a true for any connection to the VM from different places.

Expected results:  un-checked "Enable WAN options" should connect to the VM without reduced colours.

Comment 1 Radek Duda 2017-02-28 15:14:53 UTC
Still reproducible with 
rhv4.1.1.2-0.1.el7 
spice-client-msi-x86-4.1-6.el7ev.noarch

but reproducibility is not 100% but about 80%.

Comment 2 Radek Duda 2018-02-09 13:03:07 UTC
Still reproducible with 
rhv4.2.1.6-0.1.el7
RHV-toolsSetup_4.2_2.iso

Comment 3 Martin Tessun 2018-07-02 12:35:42 UTC
Should be fixed automatically as soon as BZ 1543881 is fixed.

Marking this as TestOnly.

Also fixing BZ 1543538 should solve the "workaround" to resize the Window.

Comment 4 Victor Toso 2018-12-11 11:39:07 UTC
"Enable WAN" option set some configurations in remote-viewer such as color-depth which is deprecated as it rely on driver implementations that are lacking or also deprecated/limited from OS.
E.g: color-depth only works below 32 bpp up to Windows 7 and doesn't work on Linux.

> Expected results:  un-checked "Enable WAN options" should connect to the VM without reduced colours.

I wonder if remote-viewer should be the one trying to tweak guest configurations? I would guess that qemu guest agent is a better tool for that.

Would be good to list the options/tweaks that are needed for the 'Enable WAN' option as some of this configs in spice-gtk are going away soon.

Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-01-28 09:44:41 UTC
This bug has not been marked as blocker for oVirt 4.3.0.
Since we are releasing it tomorrow, January 29th, this bug has been re-targeted to 4.3.1.

Please, justify the latest assignment to rh-spice-bugs before making it. It looks like no investigations took place for 2.5 years. What about 1543881 and the proposal in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1543881#c2 ?

Comment 7 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-03-22 10:43:34 UTC
4.3.1 has been released a while ago, re-targeting to 4.3.3.
Re-assigned from bugs to rh-spice-bugs because this bug had oVirt team set to spice and nobody looking at it since 2018-12-11.
If nobody in spice team is going to handle this, assuming comment #3 is right, you can close this as wontfix being both referenced bugs closed as wontfix.
