ovirt-engine.log and vdsm.log excerpts at time of console connection

Description of problem:
I was unable to connect to the console of a running VM through the Ovirt web interface. I received the following error via VDSM on the host (log extracts below):
    error : qemuDomainChangeGraphics:1873 : internal error cannot change listen address setting on vnc graphics

I received a similar error when trying to use Spice.

Upgrading to latest libvirt (1.1.2-1) resolves the issue and VNC console connections function as expected.

Filing bug to suggest that libvirt >= 1.1.0 be required for oVirt 3.3 on Fedora 19.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Fedora 19 (engine and host)
- ovirt-engine 3.3.0-1
- VDSM 4.12.1
- qemu 1.4.2
- libvirt 1.0.5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install oVirt as normal
2. Create VM as normal, set console to VNC
3. Start VM and attempt to connect to console through oVirt web interface

Actual results:
On clicking console icon, dialog box appears with message:
    'VDSErrorException: Failed to SetVmTicketVDS, error = Unexpected exception'

Expected results:
VNC console (either native or noVNC) should appear and be connected to the running VM

Comment 1 Dan Kenigsberg 2013-09-10 21:46:18 UTC
Is there a F19 libvirt bug on this? Please open one if there is none. I do not think F19 has libvirt >= 1.1.0, so we cannot require it (yet?).

Has there been a change in the listening address, btw? There should be only a change in the passwd and its ttl.

we're supposedly talking about a fix http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=752596b5dd0b4f3d27defc9e232552ff5a0bf08a

Comment 3 Michal Skrivanek 2013-10-02 07:41:51 UTC
Fedora update now contains a fixed libvirt...(see dependent bug 1006697)
