Description Martin Kolman 2014-03-27 10:20:07 UTC
Description of problem:
If an error occurs, such as the remove libvirtd it is connected to shutting down, virt-manager will show an error dialog. And then another. And another. 

I haven't found any upper bound on the number of dialogs it will spawn so I guess this could be considered a memory/resource leak. It is also a severe usability issues as you have to close each dialog down manually and if the error condition remain, virt-manager will keep spamming them faster than you can close them indefinitely. In such case the only solution is killing virt-manager from the CLI.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.0.0

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to remove libvirtd
2. shutdown the remove libvirtd

Actual results:
virt-manager will start spamming the same error dialog without any upper bound on the number of dialogs

Expected results:
a single error dialog is shown

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2014-03-27 12:20:46 UTC
This should already be fixed by the latest version heading to f20 shortly, do

sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update virt-manager

If you can still reproduce with that version, please reopen

Comment 3 Martin Kolman 2014-03-28 14:54:13 UTC
I've installed the virt-manager from updates-testing and can confirm that it is indeed fixed (just a single dialog when remote libvirtd goes down). Thanks a lot! :)
