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.
Verified the bug with:
virt-viewer-0.5.7-6.el7.x86_64
Steps:
1.Check virt-viewer manual,options about --kiosk have been added.
# man virt-viewer
-k, --kiosk
Start in kiosk mode. In this mode, the application will start in fullscreen with minimal UI. It will
prevent the user from quitting or performing any interaction outside of usage of the remote desktop
session.
Note that it can't offer a complete secure solution by itself. Your kiosk system must have
additional configuration and security settings to lock down the OS. In particular, you must
configure or disable the window manager, limit the session capabilities, use some restart/watchdog
mechanism, disable VT switching etc.
--kiosk-quit <never|on-disconnect>
By default, when kiosk mode is enabled, virt-viewer will remain open when the connection to the
remote server is terminated. By setting kiosk-quit option to "on-disconnect" value, virt-viewer will
quit instead. Please note that --reconnect takes precedence over this option, and will attempt to do
a reconnection before it quits.
2.Test -k and --kiosk option.
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 -k
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 --kiosk
Guest will be opened in fullscreen with minimal UI.
3.Test --kiosk-quit option.
3.1 Test --kiosk-quit never or default mode.
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 -k
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 --kiosk --kiosk-quit never
When destroy the guest named rhel6.5,virt-viewer will keep and never quit.
3.2 Test --kiosk-quit on-disconnect mode.
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 --kiosk --kiosk-quit on-disconnect
When destroy the guest named rhel6.5,virt-viewer will quit.
3.3 Test --kiosk-quit with --reconnect option.
# virt-viewer rhel6.5 --kiosk --kiosk-quit on-disconnect --reconnect
When destroy the guest named rhel6.5,virt-viewer will not quit and wait for the guest to restart,so --reconnect takes precedence over --kiosk-quit.
4.Repeat step 2 and step 3 with remote-viewer,it works well.
