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:
Can't connect to any display if specifying nothing to monitor-mapping.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-2.0-13.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set monitor-mapping to blank string.
# cat .config/virt-viewer/settings 

#rhel7.2-back-clone
[d622b6f8-fdee-ad9c-63fe-cac2e9b6200d]
monitor-mapping=
2. Wait for the guest startup and Login into the guest first.
3. lanuch virt-viewer with -f arguments.
# virt-viewer rhel7.2-back-clone -f


Actual results:
"Connected to graphic sever" screen displays and can't connect to any display.


Expected results:
virt-viewer should ignore the monitor-mapping settings and connect to correct displays.

Additional info:
This issue doesn't occur on rhel7.2.

We already had this discussion, more than once, but why the tests are being done using root instead of a normal user? :-\

Hi, I tested this problem with root user and normal user. Both of them have same problem.

Fixed upstream:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/virt-viewer.git/commit/?id=fcb200e3d4452ebf53d2205603ac18305104806b

Hi fidencio, 

For this bug, the empty value problem is resolved.

But if specify <CLIENT_MONITOR-ID> greater than the real monitor count, it still can't connect to any display. 

#rhel7.2-back-clone
[d622b6f8-fdee-ad9c-63fe-cac2e9b6200d]
monitor-mapping=1:5 

Should i file a new bug for it or just change the status of this bug? 

Thanks
