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 zhengqin 2014-02-24 04:35:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
1. start "New VM" by virt-manager with option --show-domain-creator and quit this "New VM" window, the process about virt-manager still exists, and this causes virt-manager could not start again.

2. On RHEL6, virt-manager main window will also pop up when start "New VM" by virt-manager with option --show-domain-creator. BUT, on RHEL7, only a "New VM" window pops up.





Version-Release number of selected component:
virt-manager-0.10.0-17.el7.noarch



How reproducible:
100%

steps:
1. Start "New VM" by virt-manager with option --show-domain-creator, then only a "New VM" window pops up, and virt-manager main window does NOT pop up.
[root@localhost /]# virt-manager -c qemu:///system --show-domain-creator

2. Click "Cancel" button on "New VM" window to quit

3. Start virt-manager again


Actual results:
1. virt-manager could not start.
2. virt-manager process still exists after step 2 by ps command to check it 


Expected Results:
1. virt-manager could be started
2. virt-manager process should not exist after step 2.



Additional info:
1. On RHEL6, virt-manager window will also pop up when start "New VM" by virt-manager with option --show-domain-creator, instead of only a "New VM" window.
2. This issue does NOT occurs RHEL6.
Comment 1 zhengqin 2014-02-24 06:21:17 UTC 
FYI,

Similar issue:

only one domain console could be open when start virt-manager with option --show-domain-console for different domains

Reproduce steps:
1.

[root@localhost ~]# virsh list
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 2     rhel7_x64                      running
 3     rhel6_clone-clone2             running

[root@localhost ~]# virsh dumpxml rhel7_x64 | grep uuid
  <uuid>c45d58c1-a9b9-4eb6-b57c-dce7f809dc3a</uuid>
[root@localhost ~]# virsh dumpxml rhel6_clone-clone2 | grep uuid
  <uuid>78dda91d-f64e-4c1e-af5f-063dde9eb13e</uuid>



2. Show one domain console by virt-manager with option --show-domain-console, then a domain console window pops up
[root@localhost ~]# virt-manager -c qemu:///system --show-domain-console=c45d58c1-a9b9-4eb6-b57c-dce7f809dc3a



3. Show another domain console by virt-manager with option --show-domain-console against different UUID,
[root@localhost ~]# virt-manager -c qemu:///system -show-domain-console=78dda91d-f64e-4c1e-af5f-063dde9eb13e



Actual results:
1. The console domain with UUID 78dda91d-f64e-4c1e-af5f-063dde9eb13e could not open
Comment 2 Giuseppe Scrivano 2014-06-09 10:40:31 UTC 
this was changed upstream in virt-manager by this commit:

    virt-manager: Make --show-domain-creator show the manager as well
    
    Otherwise we don't have any way to close the app.
