Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

Description YunmingYang 2021-01-20 05:38:47 UTC
Description of problem:
Create a shutoff VM and run it. Then click "Shut down" button immediately(The VM is not completely started).The "Shut down" button will be always grey until refreshing or switching to another page and switching back 

Version-Release number of selected components (if applicable):
cockpit-234-1.el8.x86_64
cockpit-machines-235-1.el8.noarch
libvirt-dbus-1.3.0-2.module+el8.3.0+6423+e4cb6418.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1 Create a shutoff VM
2 Click "Run"
3 Click "Shut down" immediately after step 2

Actual results:
1 The "Shut down" button will be always grey until refreshing or switching to another page and switching back 

Expected results: 
1 Maybe we can add timeout error, which is like "timeout when getting result from libvirt, please check whether the operation is taking effect"

Additional info:

Comment 1 Katerina Koukiou 2021-01-21 15:28:32 UTC
Quoting the RHEL Virtualization docs: 

`... executing a virsh shutdown command causes a power button ACPI event to be sent, thus copying the same action as when someone presses a power button on a physical machine. Within every physical machine, it is up to the OS to handle this event.`

So in order for the shutdown command to work,the operating system has to be responsive. If you click 'Shut down' immediately after 'Run' as you specify in the steps, you are probably clicking while the grub boot loader dialog is still active. At that point, the signal will be sent, the button will be disabled and the spinner shown. The UI will wait for a VM state change, which will never happen.

As you mention we can add a timeout for this specific or generally all lifecycle operations.

Comment 2 Simon Kobyda 2022-01-28 13:59:44 UTC
I'm thinking that adding a general timeout is good idea. Since this kind of situation can happen also when VM is frozen, which in that case that would be a bug to just show button spinning indefinitely
