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 Raul Cheleguini 2012-05-16 17:56:41 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #749928 +++

Created attachment 530747 [details]
virt-manager.log

Description of problem:
In virt-manager an ISO-file can be connected to IDE CDROM 1 with a Connect button. But this button is doing nothing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9.0-6.fc16.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a VM (Open button)
2. Go to Details (Show Virtual Hardware Details)
3. Go to IDE CDROM 1
4. Press Connect button (In F15 a dialog box opens, in F16 this fails)

  
Actual results:
Nothing happens


Expected results:
A dialog box opens where I can select an ISO-file.

Additional info:
I've looked in .xsession-errors, virt-manager.log. Nothing is in there :-(. For your reference I'll attach virt-manager.log

Scott, don't worry about it, I reproduced the issue in a KDE vm before it crashed  :)  so I'm pretty sure it's KDE (or at least non-gnome-shell) specific.

I'll investigate tomorrow what I can do to fix this in virt-manager.

Fixed upstream now:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=virt-manager.git;a=commit;h=5efe079158b7b6e1fb9e8fcc00af8b27a08dbde3

If any one wants to do the fix by hand, edit /usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/choosecd.py and change the only occurence of topwin.show() to topwin.present()
The dialog will flicker once, but click the 'choose' button again and it will show up from then on.

Not yet, I haven't pushed the fix to fedora yet. When that happens I'll close the bug.

Comment 2 Raul Cheleguini 2012-05-16 18:08:42 UTC 
Hello,

I cloned this BZ because this issue is reproducible on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 Beta.

Package version:

virt-manager-0.9.0-11.el6.x86_64.rpm

Reproducible steps:

The steps described on the original bug are applicable, but you can also experience problems when you try to create a new volume during the VM creation:

1. Open virt-manager
2. Click "new"
3. Give it a name, set PXE as the boot source
4. OS: linux, variety: 5.6 or later
5. defaults for RAM and CPUs
6. "Select managed or other existing storage" radio button
7. Click "browse"
8. Select an LVM volume group storage pool created previously
9. Click "new volume"

The changes proposed by Cole Robinson fix the problems with dialogs/top level windows:

Comment 4 Scott Dowdle 2012-06-21 16:52:42 UTC 
I noticed this yesterday after upgrading to RHEL 6.3 with virt-manager-0.9.0-14.el6.x86_64... when I try to add an .iso to an existing CD device it won't open up a dialog.  The work around is to delete the CD device and make a new one and while doing so, associate an .iso to it.
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 08:43:38 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:57:09 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
