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 zhoujunqin 2016-11-28 09:35:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
Should update description for "keymap" in virt-install manual since it's available for both vnc and spice graphics

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-install-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch
virt-manager-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch
libvirt-2.0.0-10.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check virt-install manual page for "keymap".
# man virt-install
...
           keymap
               Request that the virtual VNC console be configured to run with
               a specific keyboard layout. If the special value 'local' is
               specified, virt-install will attempt to configure to use the
               same keymap as the local system. A value of 'none' specifically
               defers to the hypervisor. Default behavior is hypervisor
               specific, but typically is the same as 'local'. This is used by
               'vnc'
...

Actual results:
As above, it says "This is used by 'vnc'", but in facts it's also available for "spice" graphics.

Expected results:
Update manual page.

    man: virt-install: keymap is valid for spice graphics as well
Comment 4 zhoujunqin 2017-03-14 09:47:52 UTC 
I can reproduce this bug with package:
virt-install-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch
virt-manager-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch

Then try to verify this bug with new build:
virt-manager-1.4.1-1.el7.noarch
virt-install-1.4.1-1.el7.noarch
virt-manager-common-1.4.1-1.el7.noarch
libvirt-3.1.0-2.el7.x86_64

Steps:
# man virt-install
...
           keymap
               Request that the virtual VNC console be configured to run with a specific keyboard layout. If the special value
               'local' is specified, virt-install will attempt to configure to use the same keymap as the local system. A value of
               'none' specifically defers to the hypervisor. Default behavior is hypervisor specific, but typically is the same as
               'local'. This is used by 'vnc' and 'spice'.

Result:
1. Add support for spice guest "This is used by 'vnc' and 'spice'."
2. One question for description "Request that the virtual VNC console...", should it be updated to both virtual VNC console and SPICE console together.
@Pavel, please help me have a look of it, thanks.

Sure, that should be updated as well, however It's minor issue and it's not worth fixing in RHEL-7.4 by backporting some patch from upstream.  The original bug that we should list vnc and spice is fixed.  I'll update the man page in upstream.
