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 2 Jan Grulich 2016-09-12 10:41:08 UTC 
I guess this is a duplicate of bug 1309445.
Comment 3 Jan Grulich 2016-10-18 09:45:13 UTC 
Please re-test with RHEL 6.8 (including newer tigervnc and xorg-server). Also install tigervnc-debuginfo package to get a better backtrace.
Comment 4 Jan Grulich 2017-01-16 13:14:01 UTC 
Useless backtrace, will be probably fixed by doing rebase.
Comment 5 Jan Grulich 2017-01-19 13:48:41 UTC 
Sorry I was wrong, there won't be any rebase in RHEL 6, I thought this bug is for RHEL 7.
Comment 7 Jan Kurik 2017-12-06 11:13:17 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.
