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 10:49:25 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.

--- Additional comment from Aram Agajanian on 2013-12-17 18:04:39 EST ---

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 Christophe Fergeau 2014-02-20 15:38:04 UTC 
Can you run
XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=5 xdg-mime query default application/x-virt-viewer 
in the working case and non-working ssh case and paste the result here?

I tried with a ssh -X to my local machine and this worked as expected.

Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2014-02-25 10:39:00 UTC 
Pleease also run XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=5 xdg-open console.vv in both case.
It seems to me that remote-viewer is properly associated with .vv files, but that xdg-open is misbehaving somehow through ssh.

Comment 7 Christophe Fergeau 2014-02-26 09:23:32 UTC 
I think if you run
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE  xdg-open console.vv 
things will work through ssh. At this point this really is an xdg-mime or system setup issue than an issue with this bug fix imo.

Did you run "XDG_UTILS_DEGUG_LEVEL=5 xdg-open console.vv" or ""XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=5 xdg-open console.vv" ? (DEGUG vs DEBUG) You put the 2 versions in your latest comment, and I think using _DEBUG_ would give more output. 
Alternatively, you can run sh -x /usr/bin/xdg-open console.vv

Sorry for the typo.
As you said it's not an issue of virt-viewer, should I file a new xdg-mime bug?

SSH:

1. # XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE  xdg-open console.vv

Thanks for the additional testing! You can file an xdg-mime bug, but it's possible that it's the best it can do on your system. On my system it manages to detect a GNOME desktop even over ssh, it uses gvfs-info to get the file mime type (on yours it uses 'file'). These differences cause xdg-mime to use gedit in the end on your system.
Comment 10 Christophe Fergeau 2014-02-26 10:12:16 UTC 
Moving the bug back to ON_QA as per comment #8
Comment 11 Christophe Fergeau 2014-02-26 10:15:56 UTC 
Hmm, seems I'm confused about the state of this bug, seems the fix was not added to the rhel7 .spec file yet, moving back to NEW.
Comment 12 Christophe Fergeau 2014-03-12 15:39:25 UTC 
Moving the bug to POST, the patch from comment #0 must be added to the RHEL package.

Which will happen automatically when we rebase to 0.6.0

Comment 19 zhoujunqin 2014-08-07 08:31:25 UTC 
Christophe Fergeau, thanks for your help and suggestion.

With following verify steps, i can move this bug to verified.
package version:
virt-viewer-0.6.0-3.el7.x86_64

verify steps:
non-ssh 
1. Download the vv file
2. # xdg-open console.vv
The console.vv file opened with remote-viewer successfully.

over-ssh
1.Download the vv file
2.# xdg-open console.vv
The console.vv file opened with gedit.
this is the same issue with bug bug 1122447.

Try with KDE:
# XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE  xdg-open console.vv
The console.vv file opened with remote-viewer successfully.

Try with GNOME:
# XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME  xdg-open console.vv
The console.vv file opened with remote-viewer successfully.

and confirmed with Christophe Fergeau about above steps, that's enough to verify this bug.
