Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. 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. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Geyang Kong 2012-02-08 11:38:08 UTC

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.9.9-2.el6.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.600.0-5.el6.noarch
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.218.el6.x86_64
virt-manager-0.9.0-7.el6.x86_64
Linux version 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start virt-manager.

2. Create a guest with default options and force shutdown it, there is no need to install it. (Its display device should be VNC now).

3. Divert to 'Show virtual hardware details' and click 'Add Hardware' button. Then just click 'cancel' button without doing anything.

4. Choose its 'Display VNC' and change its type to 'Display Spice', then click apply.

5. Click 'Add Hardware' again, then choose 'Video' in the popup form.

6. Check the contents of 'Model' list.

Actual results:

1. There is no qxl option in the list.

Expected results:

1. The qxl option should be displayed in the list after step 3.

Additional info:

1. Because there is nothing in the log. So I didn't attache the log file.

Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2012-02-08 23:22:24 UTC

Thanks, fixed upstream:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=virt-manager.git;a=commit;h=67ca0a9f34b710c92c9f5b16c763018577ec47e0

But TBH not really worth the effort of backporting to RHEL since it's trivial to work around (restart the app) and most users won't hit it. So just closing as UPSTREAM
