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 tingting zheng 2012-05-04 07:39:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Improve the output message when set --spice-color-depth in invalid value.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.2-6.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a guest with spice.
2. # virt-viewer --help-spice
……
  --spice-color-depth=<16,32>                    Guest display color depth
……

3. Use virt-viewer or remote-viewer with --spice-color-depth to open the guest.
# virt-viewer rhel6-spice --spice-color-depth=1
(virt-viewer:4224): GSpice-CRITICAL **: spice_main_set_property: assertion `color_depth % 8 == 0' failed

# virt-viewer rhel6-spice --spice-color-depth=-1
(virt-viewer:4265): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: value "-1" of type `gint' is invalid or out of range for property `color-depth' of type `gint'

(virt-viewer:4265): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: value "-1" of type `gint' is invalid or out of range for property `color-depth' of type `gint'

(virt-viewer:4265): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: value "-1" of type `gint' is invalid or out of range for property `color-depth' of type `gint'


Actual results:
When give a invalid value for --spice-color-depth,the message showed is not so clearly.

Expected results:

Additional info:

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2012-07-26 17:35:29 UTC
This command line argument is handled by the spice-client-gtk library, rather than virt-viewer

Comment 2 David Blechter 2012-07-27 17:11:13 UTC
It is not a bug, the invalid value was caught.

Comment 4 Christophe Fergeau 2012-08-10 15:53:05 UTC
I just sent a patch to fix this to the spice-devel mailing list:
