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 Jonathon Jongsma 2015-02-09 16:37:03 UTC 
This will be fixed by rebase to 2.0
Comment 5 zhoujunqin 2015-03-10 10:03:51 UTC 
I can reproduce this issue with package:
virt-viewer-0.6.0-11.el6.x86_64

Then try to verify with new build:
virt-viewer-2.0-2.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. check remote-viewer manual page:
...
CONNECTION FILE
       remote-viewer connection file is of INI file format, with a mandatory [virt-viewer] group and "type" key.

   Example
       Opening a file with the following content will start remote-viewer in fullscreen and connect to the host "betsiboka" using the SPICE protocol:

        [virt-viewer]
        type=spice
        host=betsiboka
        port=5900
        fullscreen=1

Result: Manual page is clear for user.

2. check remote-viewer help info:

# remote-viewer --help
Usage:
  remote-viewer [OPTION...] URI|VV-FILE

Remote viewer client

Question: VV-FILE added, but the usage for remote-viewer are in two lines, but in old virt-viewer version(virt-viewer-0.6.0-11.el6.x86_64) they are in 1 line:

# remote-viewer --help
Usage:
  remote-viewer [OPTION...] -- URI - Remote viewer client
and in rhel7(virt-viewer-0.6.0-12.el7.x86_64) it also in 1 line:
# remote-viewer --help
Usage:
  remote-viewer [OPTION...] URI|VV-FILE - Remote viewer client

so do you think we will fix this issue in this or next virt-viewer version, thanks.
Comment 6 zhoujunqin 2015-03-12 03:06:19 UTC 
Since in Comment 5, 
# remote-viewer --help
Usage:
  remote-viewer [OPTION...] URI|VV-FILE

Remote viewer client
^
 format is not clear to read

Assigned this bug back, thanks.
Comment 7 Christophe Fergeau 2015-03-12 10:09:01 UTC 
This was an intentional change:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/virt-viewer.git/commit/?id=de3e27b3336bde25019ab50a54796b8b1926c6d9

Set help output summary correctly

Use g_option_context_set_summary() to provide a brief description of the executable instead of tacking the summary onto the end of the commandline. 

Is it that unclear to read? Would it be better with something more descriptive than "Remote viewer client"?

Thanks for your reply, i read the patch, since put them into 2 lines is by designed, so for me is ok.

And according to Comment 5, move this bug to VERIFIED.
