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 zhpeng 2012-02-28 11:24:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
can't start guest with spice

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.32-232.el6.x86_64
libvirt-python-0.9.10-3.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.10-3.el6.x86_64
libvirt-client-0.9.10-3.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-tools-0.12.1.2-2.233.el6.x86_64
qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.233.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.233.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.10.1-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.define a guest:
...
     <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
    </graphics>
...

2.try to start guest
# virsh start kvm1
error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/5
spice tls-port is out of range

[root@pengzhimoutest ~]# tail /var/log/libvirt/qemu/kvm1.log

char device redirected to /dev/pts/1
spice tls-port is out of range2012-02-28 03:17:09.365+0000: shutting down



Actual resultes:
Fail to start
-spice port=5900,tls-port=4294967295,addr=127.0.0.1 tlsport is too big

Expected results:
Spice can work, guest can be start

Comment 2 Dave Allan 2012-02-28 15:24:20 UTC 
Just a SWAG, but it looks to me like the XML isn't quite correct and we're using -1 as the port.
Comment 3 Michal Privoznik 2012-02-28 16:18:30 UTC 
Dave, you're right. It's regression introduced in fix for 790436; Long story short - we are missing curly braces around one block adding tls-port to the qemu command line. Patch proposed upstream:
