Description of problem: the console command runs vncviewer <host>:<port> -passwdInput, but -passwdInput is not supported with tigervnc Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ovirt-engine-cli-3.2.0.9-1.fc18.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect with ovirt-shell 2. console <vmname> where vm has display set as VNC Actual results: no console is displayed Expected results: console is displayed Additional info: command run now is: echo <ticket> | <host>::<port> -passwdInput what would work is: echo <ticket> | vncpasswd -f | vncviewer <host>::<port> -passwordFile /dev/stdin relevant code is in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirtcli/platform/posix/vnc.py
This is because in F18 the patch was dropped to add -passwdInput to vncviewer: See: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=365068 """ * Fri Aug 17 2012 Adam Tkac <atkac redhat com> 1.2.80-0.1.20120905svn4996 - update to 1.2.80 - remove deprecated patches - tigervnc-102434.patch - tigervnc-viewer-reparent.patch - tigervnc11-java7.patch - patches merged - tigervnc11-xorg111.patch - tigervnc11-xorg112.patch """ tigervnc-102434.patch is the patch that implemented -passwdInput: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/tigervnc.git/commit/?id=5e164de8bf7b74db5b65e29123dd63b6fc6fd1fc
Created attachment 694128 [details] patch that solves the issue for me
Sander, I think that this patch is worh adding upstream, would you consider pushing it to the upstream gerrit? Meanwhile I will apply it to the package.
