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.

using this iso:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Fedora/x86_64/iso/
Comment 3 Zeeshan Ali 2015-05-19 19:18:43 UTC 
I don't have a clue at first look what could be it. Some info for the record needed:

1. Which version of libarchive was this reproduced against?
2. Do I recall correctly that you said it works fine on Fedora 21 with exact same version of components (including libarchive)?
Comment 4 Zeeshan Ali 2015-05-19 19:30:32 UTC 
Also could you please ensure that ISO was downloaded completely and has correct checksum?
Comment 5 Zeeshan Ali 2015-05-19 21:18:27 UTC 
FWIW, I tried to reproduce on a F21 host (a VM) but failed. Versions:

gnome-boxes: 3.14.3.1-1.fc21
libosinfo: 0.2.11-2.fc21
libvirt-daemon: 1.2.9.2-1.fc21
libarchive: 3.1.2-10.fc21

All of x86_64.

If those checks out, could you please check if you can reproduce against libosinfo 0.2.12 that I have already made part of this errata: https://errata.devel.redhat.com/advisory/20644 ?
Comment 7 Vladimir Benes 2015-06-01 08:08:13 UTC 
no, I've tried the new libosinfo, checked correct checksum but still not working

What version of libarchive do we have on 7.2 btw?
Comment 9 Vladimir Benes 2015-06-16 08:45:45 UTC 
libarchive-3.1.2-7.el7.x86_64
Comment 10 Matthias Clasen 2015-07-06 15:46:31 UTC 
Zeeshan, the question was answered - does the answer help in tracking this down ?

Not at all, quite the opposite I'm afraid. :( I'll need to reproduce locally and see what the hell is going on.
Comment 12 Zeeshan Ali 2015-07-17 15:17:53 UTC 
So I finally got to investigate this. The issue is a check failing in finding the most specific mime-type for .img file. This is most likely because of shared-mime-info not being recent enough. I think we should update shared-mime-info to same version as shipped in Fedora 21.
Comment 13 Matthias Clasen 2015-07-17 16:44:11 UTC 
I think we just need to cherry-pick this commit:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/commit/?id=33bce05a5fed6ca8d85ff4c7e0205c9a1ed32e25

Nm, I already have a Boxes patch but let's update shared-mime-info in 7.3.
Comment 17 Vaclav Ehrlich 2015-09-23 13:05:09 UTC 
Box created, user created, password set up...expressly.
Verified on gnome-boxes-3.14.3.1-7.el7.x86_64
