Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat.

Does it work in real X session? Is the VNC session running under ordinary user or root? Do you get consolehelper prompt for root password if VNC is running as user?

This looks like a Xephyr or a kind of fork issue... If you run `Xephyr :5` (choose the free display number), does it work?
