Description Cole Robinson 2014-09-26 13:49:23 UTC

virt-manager needs to Require: dconf and Require: dbus-x11. These are issues we hit in Fedora but haven't made it into the RHEL package yet.

I can't find the original dconf bug, but it's similar to this report: http://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2014-September/msg00246.html

dbus-x11: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1039803

I'd recommend looking at the upstream spec file for any other changes that might not have made it to RHEL.

Comment 4 zhoujunqin 2014-10-09 09:32:21 UTC

I can reproduce this issue with package:
virt-manager-1.1.0-1.el7.noarch

steps:
1. # rpm -q virt-manager dbus-x11 dconf 
package virt-manager is not installed
package dbus-x11 is not installed
package dconf is not installed

2. # ls
virt-install-1.1.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm  virt-manager-1.1.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm  virt-manager-common-1.1.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm
# yum install * -y

Result:
Since package 'dbus-x11' and 'dconf' is needed by new version 'virt-manager-1.1.0-4.el7.noarch', and virt-manager can save connection and showing connection successfully, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
