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.
Description of problem:
When starting an application in GNOME (i.e. Firefox), the mouse pointer should turn in a spinning icon (animated). However in stead of this animated pointer, there is no pointer shown at all.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tigervnc-server-1.1.0-16.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
- On RHEL6.6 system install tigervnc-server-1.1.0-16.el6.x86_64.
- As a user start a vncserver:
~~~
$ vncserver
~~~
- Connect to the VNC session with a client.
- Start Firefox from the GNOME panel.
- Watch the mouse pointer disappear until Firefox has started (if the VNC client option "Show dot when no cursor" is set, a square dot will be shown)
Actual results:
Not getting animated/normal cursor.
Expected results:
Should get animated cursor.
Additional info:
Downgrading tigervnc-server to tigervnc-server-1.0.90-0.17.20110314svn4359.el6.x86_64 resolves the issue.
OK, I test the pure tigervnc-server 1.1.0 running on Centos 6.7. If I use the Vncviewer(I use the VNC viewer from RealVNC under Windows XP), and I see the busy mouse cursor becomes a black dot point.
But if I use the xrdp, then I see the busy mouse cursor just disappeared(missing). So this is the big problem.
