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.

Comment 3 zhoujunqin 2014-08-01 03:02:15 UTC 
Hi Giuseppe Scrivano,
I can reproduce the bug issue with package version:
virt-manager-common-0.10.0-20.el7.noarch
virt-install-0.10.0-20.el7.noarch
virt-manager-0.10.0-20.el7.noarch

and also find another two problems in virt-manager manual page, please help have a look, thanks.

1. "-help" should be "--help", for the following reason.
# man virt-manager
....
OPTIONS
       The following options are accepted when running "virt-manager":

       -h, -help
           Display command line help summary
...

reason-1.1
# virt-manager  --help
Usage: virt-manager [options]

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
.........>use "--help"

# virt-manager  -h
Usage: virt-manager [options]

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
...

reason-1.2 "-help" just have the function "-h" not "--help"
# virt-manager  -help
Usage: virt-manager [options]

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
....
and it work well when i put other invaild characters after "h", no error report.

# virt-manager  -haaaaddd
Usage: virt-manager [options]

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
....

2. 
# man virt-manager
...
      --spice-disable-auto-usbredir Auto USB redirection is supportted by default. This option switches off it.
...
# virt-manager --help
  --spice-disable-auto-usbredir
                        Disable Auto USB redirection support
Problems:
In virt-manager manual,miss "return" after --spice-disable-auto-usbredir,the interpretation of the option should listed in another line.

so Giuseppe Scrivano, above two problems, shall we fix them together in this bug or need open another bug to track it, thanks.
Comment 4 Giuseppe Scrivano 2014-08-01 09:37:10 UTC 
thanks to have reported these issues, I don't think there is need to open a new BZ.

They are both fixed upstream now.
Comment 6 CongDong 2014-09-09 10:25:47 UTC 
Can reproduce the problems in description and comment 3 with 
virt-manager-0.10.0-20.el7.noarch

VERIFY with :
virt-manager-1.1.0-1.el7.noarch

Steps:
1. Check control characters 

a). # man virt-manager
VIRT-MANAGER(1)                                   Virtual Machine Manager                                  VIRT-MANAGER(1)
...
1.1.0                                                   2014-09-08                                         VIRT-MANAGER(1)

b).#man virt-install 
VIRT-INSTALL(1)                                   Virtual Machine Manager                                  VIRT-INSTALL(1)
...
1.1.0                                                   2014-09-08                                         VIRT-INSTALL(1)


2. Check man page
a). # virt-manager
       -h, --help
           Display command line help summary
...
           --spice-disable-auto-usbredir
               Auto USB redirection is supported by default. This option switches off it.

b).
# virt-manager -help

virt-manager: error: argument -h/--help: ignored explicit argument 'elp'
