Description of problem: disconnect() method of spice-xpi does not kill client - it continues to run. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spice-xpi-2.7-16.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. from test page, connect client to spice server 2. switch to the web browser again 3. hit 'Disconnect' button Actual results: client keeps running Expected results: client is closed Additional info:
In current state, we are not able to solve this in a reasonable way. Now we have alternatives, so /usr/libexec/spice-xpi-client points to 2 shell scripts, which run either spicec or remote-viewer. The problem is, that if I signal (by SIGTERM) spice-xpi-client, the client does not die -- caused by the structure of the script(s). The best solution could be: to signal a process group, where the parent is the mentioned spice-xpi-client. Rhel 6.3 in current state suffers from a bug, where is is not able to signal a process group. I already filed that bug.
Moving to 6.4 for now: First, it depend on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_activity.cgi?id=815674; and second, spice devel is focusing on virt-vierwer as the spicec replacement.
Fixed.
