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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.
Description of problem:
Install a guest (the OS is rhel6.1) with spice and qxl, after changing the graphics from spice to vnc, the combination of qxl and vnc exist, guest can be started and cursor disappears. This combination should hide to customer.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9.0-7.el6
libvirt-0.9.4-20.el6
python-virtinst-0.600.0-5.el6
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.204.el6.x86_64
# uname -a
Linux wjw.nay.redhat.com 2.6.32-214.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 25 19:48:00 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the virt-manager.
2. Install a guest with spice and qxl:
#virsh dumpxml 6.1demo
....
<graphics type='spice' port='5900' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
<listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
</graphics>
<video>
<model type='qxl' vram='65536' heads='1'/>
<alias name='video0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
</video>
....
3. Shutdown the guest.
4. Change the graphics type to vnc through the hardware details page of virt-manager.
5. Click apply button.
6. Start the guest successfully with combination of qxl and vnc:
#virsh dumpxml 6.1demo
....
<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
<listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
</graphics>
<video>
<model type='qxl' vram='65536' heads='1'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
</video>
....
Actual results:
The combination of qxl and vnc exist, guest can be started and cursor disappears.
Expected results:
It's not supported in kvm for the time being and the combination of qxl and vnc should be disabled. Refer to bug 717373.
Additional info:
Given reduced capacity for virt-manager/virtinst, and since I don't think there is anything fundamentally preventing this from working in the future, just closing this issue as WONTFIX for RHEL. Thanks for the report though
