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 Daniel Berrangé 2010-05-13 09:50:48 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #537489 +++

abrt detected a crash.

Comment: Trying to open a console in virt-manager of a machine on another host.
Attached file: backtrace
cmdline: python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py
component: python
executable: /usr/bin/python
kernel: 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64
package: python-2.6.2-2.fc12
rating: 3
reason: Process was terminated by signal 6

Thanks for filing this bug.

From the backtrace, it looks like an assertion failed; frame 2 of thread 1 has:
  Assertion `*lock == ((ath_mutex_t) 0)' failed.
in _gcry_ath_mutex_lock, deep inside gvnc_start_tls (frame 21) within gvnc_initialize (frame 24).

So it looks like an assertion failure deep inside gvnc's TLS code, which causes the process to abort.

Reassigning component from "python" to "virt-manager" in the hope that someone with knowledge of that domain can assign it to a more appropriate component.

He or she will probably want to know which version of virt-manager, libvirt, etc you have installed.

--- Additional comment from jlayton on 2009-11-13 15:41:49 EST ---

Here's the versions of those two:

virt-manager-0.8.0-7.fc12.noarch
libvirt-0.7.1-15.fc12.x86_64

...let me know if you need other info.

Fix built in gtk-vnc-0.3.10-2.fc12

This fixes the problem as far as GTK-VNC is concerned. It'll likely still crash though because of an identical bug in libvirt https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544305
