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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

spice-debug log (monitor-mapping=8:1)
Description of problem:
Can't connect to any display if specifying <GUEST-DISPLAY-ID> is greater than the real display count
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tested on
rhel 7.3 nightly client:
virt-viewer-2.0-8.el7.x86_64
Windows 7 64bit client:
virt-viewer 2.0-160
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set <GUEST-DISPLAY-ID> greater than the count of guest displays. For example, if you only have one monitor, you can set it to 3:1.
# cat .config/virt-viewer/settings :
#rhel7.3_nightly
[b1a57478-75fd-4cef-9b84-a4b5d8f8d8c3]
monitor-mapping=8:1
2. Wait for the guest startup and Login into the guest first.
3. lauch VM in fullscreen ($ remote-viewer -f spice://localhost:5900)
Actual results:
"Connected to graphic sever" screen displays and can't connect to any display.
remote-viewer throw message:
(remote-viewer:19223): remote-viewer-WARNING **: display 0 should not be enabled, disabling
Expected results:
virt-viewer should ignore the monitor-mapping settings and connect display(s) to monitor(s).
Additional info:
* If the GUEST-DISPLAY-ID for both displays is the same (e.g. monitor-mapping=6:1;6:2), the bug does not occur and displays are attached on both monitors. remote-viewer then returns:
(remote-viewer:18686): remote-viewer-WARNING **: Invalid monitor-mapping configuration: a display or monitor id was specified twice
* if CLIENT-MONITOR-ID is also higher then real number of monitors (e.g. monitor-mapping=5:10), the guest desktop is displayed and no "Connected to graphic sever" message occurs.
Verified this bug with virt-viewer-5.0-2.el7.x86_64, virt-viewer can connect to the guest when <GUEST-DISPLAY-ID> greater than the count of guest displays.
So move the bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
