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 Huming Jiang 2011-09-23 05:53:48 UTC

Description of problem:
virt-viewer could not open guest with unix sockets.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.9.4-12.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-197.el6.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.600.0-3.el6.noarch
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.192.el6.x86_64
virt-viewer-0.4.1-5.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.virsh edit demo
...
   <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/>
   <graphics type='vnc' socket='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/demo.vnc'/>
...
2. # vi /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
enable vnc_auto_unix_socket = 1

3.# service libvirtd restart
Stopping libvirtd daemon:                                  [  OK  ]
Starting libvirtd daemon:                                  [  OK  ]

4. Start the guest
# virsh start demo
Domain demo started

5.#virt-viewer demo
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
6.Run virt-viewer -c qemu+ssh://10.66.93.194/system demo
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  
Actual results:
As above.

Expected results:
Virt-viewer could open guest.

Additional info:
If i use virt-viewer-0.4.1-3.el6.x86_64 on both local and remote host, virt-viewer could open guest successfully. So this is a regression bug.
