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.

Description Christophe Fergeau 2014-02-10 10:46:48 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1044209 +++

Description of problem:

I have noticed that remote-viewer isn't getting automatically run when I try to bring up a virtual desktop from the RHEV User Portal with the Epiphany web browser.  Instead, the downloaded vv file is opened in gedit.

I have found that when I run the following command, the console.vv file gets opened in gedit instead of remote-viewer.

xdg-open console.vv


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.7-1.fc20.x86_64


How reproducible:  
Happens every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Download a console.vv file from the RHEV User Portal by attempting to open a SPICE console in Native Mode.
2.  Run the command "xdg-open console.vv" on the file that was just downloaded.


Actual results:
The console.vv file is opened with gedit.


Expected results:
The console.vv file should be opened with remote-viewer.

As was suggested on IRC, I ran the following command and the problem went away.

su -c "update-mime-database /usr/share/mime"

Comment 3 CongDong 2014-06-09 02:15:34 UTC 
I test with virt-viewer-0.6.0-5.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. Install a spice guest on rhevm
2. Click "Console" button and download the console.vv file for the guest
3. # xdg-open console.vv

Result:
I have two Desktop environment on my machine, gnome and kde
When I log in kde desktop, console.vv can be opend with remote-viewer,
but when I log in gnome desktop, the vv file is opened by gedit.

The result seems not to be the expected.

Christophe, can you take a look? thanks
Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2014-06-10 12:52:00 UTC 
What is the output of
xdg-mime query filetype console.vv
?
(if you are running this through ssh, set GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=this-is-deprecated in your environment before running this command)

If this returns application/x-virt-viewer I think what is missing is the call to update-desktop-database added in https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/virt-viewer.git/commit/?id=be3ce01096feaca7d3a51ed07cc35b5b2a87633d

If the 'xdg-mime query filetype console.vv' test returned application-x-virt-viewer but 'xdg-open console.vv' is still not working, can you try running as root
update-desktop-database -q /usr/share/applications
and then try again to run 'xdg-open console.vv'?
Comment 6 CongDong 2014-06-11 02:23:36 UTC 
Steps:
1. # xdg-mime query filetype console.vv
application/x-virt-viewer
2. # xdg-open console.vv
Still open with gedit
3. # update-desktop-database -q /usr/share/applications
4. # xdg-open console.vv
Open the vv file with remote-viewer.
This is expected.
Comment 7 Christophe Fergeau 2014-06-11 11:54:39 UTC 
Thanks for the additional testing, this should be fixed with the next virt-viewer build.

Comment 9 CongDong 2014-06-18 12:20:40 UTC 

Verify with virt-viewer-0.6.0-7.el6.x86_64
Steps:
1. Download the vv file for the guest on rhevm
2. # xdg-mime query filetype console.vv
3. # xdg-open console.vv

Result:
Step2, 
application/x-virt-viewer
Step3,
Open the vv file with remote-viewer.

Also tested with KDE destop.

As the result, VERIFIED
