Description jas 2012-04-10 17:28:50 UTC

Description of problem:

When running virt-manager on a fully patched RHEL 6.2 system, connecting to a virtual server via ssh, I can connect to guest consoles only once.  After the window is closed, if I try to reopen I get "Connecting to graphical console for guest", and am never connected.  After restarting virt-manager, I can reconnect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.9.0

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up virt-manager on local host, connecting to virtual server via ssh.
2. Double click on virtual guest - see the screen from the guest.
3. Close the window.
4. Try to re-open the window.  You get "Connecting to graphical console for guest" ... never opens.
5. Either close virt-manager, and reopen and it works, or right-click on the virtual server, disconnect, then reconnect.

Expected results:

In 4, re-open the window.

Note -- see the more generalized bug 758225.
I have just freshly kickstarted the client the virtualization server.  Both are running 6.2 with all patches applied.
I don't see other bugs in bugzilla tied specifically to RHEL6.2 which leads me to believe the problem isn't quite widespread?

Indeed, I can reproduce this on 6.3. This is sufficiently crappy that I'm marking it as a blocker. Fix is already upstream and tested in fedora.

Comment 4 Cole Robinson 2012-04-25 18:54:59 UTC

Fix built in virt-manager-0.9.0-12.el6

Comment 6 Huming Jiang 2012-04-26 06:16:21 UTC

Reproduced it with the following package:
virt-manager-0.9.0-11.el6.x86_64

Verified it with virt-manager-0.9.0-12.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. Launch virt-manager on local host
2.Connect a hypvisor with ssh: File -> Add connection-> connect a remote host with ssh.
3. Double click on virtual guest
   --> Guest could be opened.
4. Close the guest window.
5. Re-open the guest window. 
   --> Guest could be opened.
6. Close virt-manager, and reopen, or right-click on the
hypervisor, disconnect, then reconnect.
   --> Guest could be opened.

So, move the status to 'verified'.

Comment 9 German Pulido 2012-06-16 15:22:37 UTC

Hi!

Will this fix be available for RHEL 6.2 Desktop, or should we wait until RHEL 6.3? I use RHEL 6 Desktop on my laptop and the latest virt-manager I am getting is 0.9.0-7

Thanks!
