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 Carlos Santos 2019-08-08 20:21:57 UTC
Applications render as black rectangles when displayed on a remote X display

Description of problem:

Applications render as black rectangles when displayed on a remote X display
when logging via XDMCP.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL7.6 (see installed-rpms.txt attachment)
KVM
QXL display

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create two VM's on top of KVM using a bridged virtual network.

2. Install rhel 7.6 on the virtual machines rhel-server-7-6-1 and
   rhel-server-7-6-2

   During the installation, add a user account on rhel-server-7-6-2.

3. Ensure that rhel-server-7-6-{1,2} can ping each other

4. Set rhel-server-7-6-1 default target to multiuser

   # systemctl set-default multi-user.target

5. Set rhel-server-7-6-2 default target to graphical:

   # systemctl set-default graphical.target

6. Configure firewall and GDM on rhel-server-7-6-2 to accept remote access
   via XDMCP as described in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2736

7. Configure firewall on rhel-server-7-6-1 to accept remote X connections
   as described in the same document

8. Adde a workaround on rhel-server-7-6-2 for the “Authentication required
   to create managed color device” message, as described in

   https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/417906/authentication-is-required-to-create-a-color-profile

   (I used the /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/color.pkla approach).

9. Restart gdm & polkit on rhel-server-7-6-2

10. Log in as the user added in step 2 on rhel-server-7-6-2, selecting the
    "GNOME" session.

    - Complete the first login steps.
    - Click "Activities" and select "Terminal". A gnome-terminal instance will
      appear.
    - Exit on the terminal
    - Log out

11. Start Xorg on rhel-server-7-6-1 (this might better to do via ssh)

    # Xorg :0 -query rhel-server-7-6-2

    - Log in as the user added in step 2, selecting the "GNOME" session.
    - Click "Activities" and select "Terminal". A gnome-terminal instance will
      appear as a black rectancle (see screenshot 1).
    - Click on the terminal window and hit ^D to exit
    - Log out
    - Stop Xorg when the greeter screen is shown again.

12. Create and alternate non-GNOME session

    - Install motif (for mwm), xorg-x11-apps (for xconsole) and xterm

      # yum install -y motif xorg-x11-apps xterm

    - Create a /usr/share/xsessions/mwm.desktop file containing

      [Desktop Entry]
      Name=MWM
      Comment=This session logs you into the Motif Window Manager
      Exec=mwm
      Type=Application
      DesktopNames=MWM

    - Create a /usr/share/switchdesk/Xclients.mwm file containing

      #!/bin/sh
      #
      # /usr/share/switchdesk/Xclients.mwm
      #
      exec > $HOME/xsession.log 2>&1
      xconsole -file $HOME/xsession.log -exitOnFail -daemon -geometry -1-1
      exec /usr/bin/mwm -multiscreen

      [Do not forget to chmod 755 /usr/share/switchdesk/Xclients.mwm]

11. Start Xorg on rhel-server-7-6-1 acgain

    # Xorg :0 -query rhel-server-7-6-2

    - Log in as the user added in step 2, selecting the "MWM" session.
    - Click with the right button on the background and select "New window" in
      the root menu. A xterm instance will appear.
    - In the xterm promt, run "gnome-terminal". A gnome-terminal will appear
      (see screenshot 2).
    - Exit both terminals
    - Click with the right button on the background and select "Quit..." to
      terminate the session.
    - Stop Xorg when the greeter screen is shown again.

Actual results:

Applications do not render correctly in the GNOME session.

Expected results:

Applications should render correctly in the GNOME session.

This was caused by a mesa regression that has been reverted.
A yum update should be enough to fix this.
