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: The messages showed should be more clearly,like:The value for --spice-color-depth should be <16,32>. Additional info:
This command line argument is handled by the spice-client-gtk library, rather than virt-viewer
It is not a bug, the invalid value was caught.
I just sent a patch to fix this to the spice-devel mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2012-August/010378.html
