Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
Reviewed, most part looks nice for me.
One point I noticed is that there aren't spice-vdagent setups for RHEL.
I think RHEL with SPICE will be minor use case, priority can be low.
Thanks,
User may need to install spice-vdagent
- yum install spice-vdagent
Use case:
When a user using GUI in RHEL, spice agent helps integrating guest OS and spice client.
For example, virt-manager's window is resized, X window's root window size will be resized to be same size. It helps smooth operations for GUI users.
Features from spice-vdagent README file:
* Client mouse mode (no need to grab mouse by client, no mouse lag)
this is handled by the daemon by feeding mouse events into the kernel
via uinput. This will only work if the active X-session is running a
spice-vdagent process so that its resolution can be determined.
* Automatic adjustment of the X-session resolution to the client resolution
* Support of copy and paste (text and images) between the active X-session
and the client. This supports both the primary selection and the clipboard.
* Support for transfering files from the client to the agent
* Full support for multiple displays using Xrandr, this requires a new
enough xorg-x11-drv-qxl driver, as well as a new enough host.
* Limited support for multiple displays using Xinerama, prerequisites:
* A new enough Xorg-server. For Fedora atleast Fedora-17, for RHEL-6 atleast
xorg-x11-server-1.10.4-6.el6_2.3
* A vm configured with multiple qxl devices
* A guest running the latest spice-vdagent
Then connect to the vm with the multiple monitor client which you want to
use it with using: "spicec --full-screen=auto-config" (or the user portal
equivalent). At this point the agent will write out a:
/var/run/spice-vdagentd/xorg.conf.spice file. With all the necessary magic
to get Xinerama working. Move this file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then kill
Xorg so that it will get restarted and you should be good to go.
* Limited support for setups with multiple Screens (multiple qxl devices each
mapped to their own screen), limitations:
-Max one monitor per Screen / qxl device
-All monitors / Screens must have the same resolution
-No client -> guest resolution syncing
Thanks,
