Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Comment 5 Hans de Goede 2011-02-27 12:38:09 UTC
The 2 backtraces seem to be completely unrelated:

The first one is caused by calling spicec --controller without having set the SPICE_XPI_SOCKET
environment variable. This can be caused by using a new spicec with an older spice-xpi. We will
add a fix for to make spice exit cleanly with an error message in this case. We will use this bug
to track this. Since this only happens when manually launching spicec, in a bad way or when using an outdated we are targeting 6.2 to fix this.

The second backtrace seems to be a crash deep inside libX11 / libxcb, I'll clone this bug and re-assign the clone to libX11 for tracking this issue.

Comment 6 Uri Lublin 2011-03-01 14:46:06 UTC
Going to fix it in 6.1 after all

Comment 7 Hans de Goede 2011-03-02 16:28:32 UTC
A build containing a fix for this has been done, moving to modified.

Comment 9 Lubos Kocman 2011-04-19 14:57:46 UTC
Never happened to me again. Moving to verified. Checked on spice-client-0.8.0-2.el6.x86_64
