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 Cui Chun 2011-01-21 07:20:49 UTC 
Description of problem:

libvirt unsupported graphics types include 'sdl', 'rdp', 'desktop'. 

'sdl' error message has been fixed in bug 633326. However, the error message for 'rdp' and 'desktop' are different from 'sdl'  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.8.7-3.el6
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.129.el6


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Configure rdp and desktop respectively by changing the guest's XML from
    <graphics type='vnc port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'
keymap='en-us'/>
to
    <graphics type='rdp'>

    <graphics type='desktop'>

2. Start the guest and check error message


Actual results:

# virsh start cc
error: Failed to start domain cc
error: internal error unsupported graphics type 'desktop'

# virsh start cc
error: Failed to start domain cc
error: internal error unsupported graphics type 'rdp'


Expected results:

Output the uniform error message with 'sdl'.

Additional info:

The error message for 'sdl' are:

# virsh start cc
error: Failed to start domain cc
error: unsupported configuration: sdl not supported by '/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm'
