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.

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2010-05-11 17:40:49 UTC 
Can you reproduce using 'virt-manager --debug' and post the output? Does restarting the app help? Does 'virt-viewer $vmname' have the same issue?

Comment 5 Qian Cai 2010-05-11 18:12:15 UTC 
I'll probably report a separate BZ for the above SIGSEGV. I'll give you the information needed when I am in the office to access the system tomorrow.

virt-manager --debug output
Comment 8 Cole Robinson 2010-05-13 15:18:43 UTC 
Hmm, if it's also an issue with virt-viewer, then this is likely either gtk-vnc or kvm. Reassigning to KVM for future triage
Comment 9 Gleb Natapov 2010-05-16 09:27:37 UTC 
Works for me with sdl/vncviewer/gvncviewer (but I obviously use other PXE server). Please try other vnc clients _before_ reassigning to qemu-kvm. Reassigning back to virt-manager as the only other option for me is to close the bug as WORKSFORME.
Comment 10 Qian Cai 2010-05-17 05:01:46 UTC 
gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-6.3.el6 works fine.
