Description Pino Toscano 2019-02-21 08:42:54 UTC
Description of problem:
When extracting the icon of RHEL 7 and greater (using the inspect_get_icon API), libguestfs uses the file: /usr/share/pixmaps/fedora-logo-sprite.png.
It turned out that this file is not a good choice, as (especially starting with RHEL 8) it is not a proper "logo", but more like a banner.

After talking with Ray Strode (who maintains redhat-logos), the better option for this is to use one of the system-logo-icon.png icons in the hicolor icon theme, for example:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/96x96/apps/system-logo-icon.png

Steps to Reproduce:
1. get the icon of a RHEL 7 guest, for example using virt-inspector, or in virt-manager (after installing python-libguestfs)
2. look at the icon

Actual results:
- in RHEL 7 guests, it is a shadowman
- in RHEL 8 guests, it is a RHEL "banner"

Expected results:
- the same shadowman in RHEL 7 & 8

Comment 2 Pino Toscano 2019-03-26 08:17:11 UTC
Fixed upstream with
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/c648052690a4a07a59c741308e0e8497d6f18057
which is in libguestfs >= 1.41.1.

Comment 4 YongkuiGuo 2019-03-27 10:05:05 UTC
Verified with package:
libguestfs-1.40.2-2.el7.x86_64

Steps:

1. On rhel7.6 host
# virt-inspector -a rhel7.6.raw | virt-inspector --xpath 'string(//icon)' | base64 -i -d | display -
# virt-inspector -a rhel8.0.raw | virt-inspector --xpath 'string(//icon)' | base64 -i -d | display -

Both are the shadowman. Verified this bug.
