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).

Description Cole Robinson 2011-03-23 18:59:24 UTC

virt-manager uses the default dbus timeout (25 seconds) for installing packages libvirt+kvm when the app is first run. 25s isn't enough time, so we should bump the timeout.

Fixed upstream here:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=virt-manager.git;a=commit;h=ca5bd0de0addfbfbbe0f3da8bca33d563292d08f

To reproduce:

yum remove -y libvirt qemu\*
as a regular user, delete all connections from virt-manager, restart the app
virt-manager asks to install libvirt/kvm. say yes
wait at the root password prompt for 25 seconds, virt-manager will throw an error (though packagekit keeps on going)

the error:

DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.
Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the
message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or
the network connection was broken.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 01:47:57 UTC
