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 of problem:
Update VNC password for a running guest failed in virt-manager
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -a
Linux dhcp-65-85.nay.redhat.com 2.6.32-99.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 14 10:46:00
EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
kernel-2.6.32-99.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.129.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.8.7-1.el6.x86_64
virt-manager-0.8.6-1.el6
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run a guest successfully with vnc password is "aabb"
2.Open guest details page, click Display VNC, Modify the vnc password as "ccdd", Apply
Actual results:
A message display: Some changes may require a guest reboot to take effect
Expected results:
The vnc password can be changed on the fly
Additional info:
Actually it looks like VNC pass is successfully changed, it's just that the message is misleading because the user may have also changed the keymap which cannot be hotplugged.
Please verify that VNC password change does work. We can use this bug to track getting the warning right only if keymap was changed.
(In reply to comment #1)
According to steps below, i think the vnc password actually changes.
Steps:
1.Run a guest successfully with vnc password is "aabb"
2.Open guest details page, click Display VNC, Modify the vnc password as
"ccdd", Apply, then A message display: Some changes may require a guest reboot to take effect.
3.Use virt-viewer to check the vnc password is changed or not, found it is actually changed as "ccdd".
