Description of problem: I forgot the // in the URI and it reliably segs with: remote-viewer vnc:foo:1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-viewer-4.0-1.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. remote-viewer vnc:foo:1 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
For what it's worth, the crash is in glib because we are trying to use it with bogus args. gtkvnc should not be passing these invalid args (NULL address, 0 port), but glib should also reject them before crashing :)

Just sent https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2016-December/msg00006.html which should fix this, as well as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775890
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
The bug is gone because gtk-vnc was fixed not to crash. However Christophe your virt-viewer patch to improve the error message doesn't seem to have made it git, might wanna resend
