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 Than Ngo 2010-07-15 10:02:13 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #609460 +++

Description of problem:
There are at least two graphical anomalies under KDE in vritual machine:
1. Image corruption in khtml-related applications such as konqueror, khelpcenter
2. Some images seems to have shifted hue (e.g. the Air wallpaper don't appear blue, but yellow instead).

SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOT

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host:
kernel-firmware-2.6.32-37.el6.noarch
kernel-headers-2.6.32-37.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-37.el6.x86_64

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.90.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-tools-0.12.1.2-2.90.el6.x86_64

guest:
kernel-firmware-2.6.32-30.el6.noarch
kernel-2.6.32-30.el6.i686
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.7-2.el6.i686
xorg-x11-drv-cirrus-1.3.2-1.1.el6.i686


How reproducible:
tried on lenovo thinkpad t400 and hp elitoBook 8440p

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install virt-manager
2. install latest (i386) rhel as a virtual machine with KDE environment
3. start kde session on the virtual machine
4. start konqueror and verify image corruption
5. start both [eog | okular] /usr/share/wallpapers/Air/contents/images/1024x768.jpg and verify different colors (should be blue)
  
Actual results:
see attached screenshot

Expected results:
no image corruption in konqueror, Air wallpaper should appear blue in okular

if you take a screenshot inside the VM and copy it out and view it somewhere is the corruption still there?

just want to rule out the vnc stuff.

--- Additional comment from mhasko on 2010-07-12 09:32:24 EDT ---

The image corruption is still visible, if the screenshot is copied from the VM, i.e. the background image color is shifted, images are still corrupted.

This is not an X bug.  This is two distinct bugs, probably in QtImage or whatever it's called these days.

In the 1024x768 wallpaper image, the top-left pixel is #06b0fe, but okular is rendering it as #feb006.  No idea _why_ it would be doing that, since the channel masks in qemu's cirrus device are not swizzled relative to a normal desktop, but there you go.

In the konqueror screenshot, RHEL6beta_720x60.jpg is clearly stretched by about 4/3 horizontally.  Since the emulated cirrus device is 24bpp, this is almost certainly a case of the jpeg being expanded to a 32bpp buffer in memory and then uploaded without stripping out the padding channel.

Reassigning to qt.

glxgears has the same problem like in konqueror.

--- Additional comment from pknirsch on 2010-07-14 13:02:00 EDT ---

As we're past Snap8 for packages for RHEL-6 now we require blocker flags for bugs. This bug doesn't qualify as a blocker, so we're moving it to RHEL-6.1 for further review and/or fixing.

Than has found a possibly fix for the color issue from the first screenshot. He wants to double check with Trolltech first though and discuss with them (upstream) whether this is the right fix. We aim to release the final fix for 6.1 then.

As mentioned in the previous comment we believe though that the second problem is actually the same as the glxgears one, at least the visual errors are strikingly similar. We'll clone this bug for that specific issue then and reassign it to Mesa/GL tomorrow.

So we can provide a fixed Qt version, but as it isn't really blocking installations and/or working with installations we're targetting 

Thanks & regards, Phil
