Description Thiébaud Weksteen 2013-12-10 02:53:21 UTC
Description of problem:
If dbus-x11 is not installed, the display scaling within virt-manager will not work. This issue has already been reported and fixed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467886. A recent commit (http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/virt-manager.git/commit/?id=5540f4c62350118465c6762cbb6a778394c00810) has reintroduced the bug.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Version     : 0.10.0
Release     : 4.fc19

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start virt-manager (without the dbus-x11 package installed)
2. Change the display scaling (View -> Scale Display -> Never)

Actual results:
The option is ignored. When run with "--debug" the following trace is returned:
(virt-manager:21243): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: Failed to execute child process "dbus-launch" (No such file or directory)

Expected results:
The option should not be ignored.
