Description Sandro Bonazzola 2021-07-08 07:22:09 UTC

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1978365

I am copying this bug because: it will affect 4.4.9 based on RHEL 8.5



# rpm -qv ovirt-hosted-engine-setup
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.5.0-1.el8.noarch

# rpm -qv ovirt-release-host-node
ovirt-release-host-node-4.4.6.3-1.el8.noarch

# rpm -qv socat
socat-1.7.4.1-1.el8.x86_64

# hosted-engine --console

2021/07/01 16:12:32 socat[11653] E Option "user" only with bind option

The socat command underlying is:

```
  /usr/bin/socat \
    UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/ovirt-vmconsole-console/${vmid}.sock,user=ovirt-vmconsole \
    STDIO,raw,echo=0,escape=29
```

Removing the `,user=ovirt-vmconsole` part make it working.

Looking at http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/doc/CHANGES it sames a change introduced with version 1.7.4.0.

This affects CentOS Stream as 1.7.4.1 is targeting RHEL 8.5.

Comment 1 Sandro Bonazzola 2021-07-13 06:15:30 UTC

QE: this is already solved in upstream 4.4.7 on CentOS Stream. For RHV, this needs to be verified on RHEL 8.5.

Comment 2 Sandro Bonazzola 2021-09-15 12:44:33 UTC

The fix was already shipped in 4.4.8, needs to be verified on RHEL 8.5.

Comment 5 Nikolai Sednev 2021-10-19 12:07:57 UTC

Works fine on these components:
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.5.4-2.el8ev.noarch
ovirt-hosted-engine-ha-2.4.9-1.el8ev.noarch
ovirt-engine-4.4.9.2-0.6.el8ev.noarch

Escape character also works perfectly (right ctrl+shift+]).
