Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
In fullscreen mode, the top toolbar has a button to allow the user to redirect a local USB device to the remote guest. This button previously used a generic 'settings' icon, but now uses a more specific 'usb device' icon.
I can reproduce with package: virt-viewer-0.5.7-7.el7.x86_64
and verified with latest build: virt-viewer-0.6.0-1.el7.x86_64
steps:
1. Prepare a guest with usbredirection support.
1.1 Prepare a .cfg file in /etc/qemu:
# cat ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg
###########################################################################
#
# You can pass this file directly to qemu using the -readconfig
# command line switch.
#
# This config file creates a EHCI adapter with companion UHCI
# controllers as multifunction device in PCI slot "1d".
#
# Specify "bus=ehci.0" when creating usb devices to hook them up
# there.
#
[device "ehci"]
driver = "ich9-usb-ehci1"
addr = "1d.7"
multifunction = "on"
[device "uhci-1"]
driver = "ich9-usb-uhci1"
addr = "1d.0"
multifunction = "on"
masterbus = "ehci.0"
firstport = "0"
[device "uhci-2"]
driver = "ich9-usb-uhci2"
addr = "1d.1"
multifunction = "on"
masterbus = "ehci.0"
firstport = "2"
[device "uhci-3"]
driver = "ich9-usb-uhci3"
addr = "1d.2"
multifunction = "on"
masterbus = "ehci.0"
firstport = "4"
1.2 Create a new spice-enabled vm using virt-manager, select spice as display type and qxl as video card model, when asked if you want to enable the agent channel, say yes.
1.3 When done, close virt-manager and edit the relevant /etc/libvirt/qemu/rhel7.xml file. Change the first line to:
<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
And add the following lines at the end, above the "</domain>" line:
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-readconfig'/>
<qemu:arg value='/etc/qemu/ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg'/>
<qemu:arg value='-chardev'/>
<qemu:arg value='spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev1'/>
<qemu:arg value='-device'/>
<qemu:arg value='usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev1,id=usbredirdev1,bus=ehci.0,debug=3'/>
<qemu:arg value='-chardev'/>
<qemu:arg value='spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev2'/>
<qemu:arg value='-device'/>
<qemu:arg value='usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev2,id=usbredirdev2,bus=ehci.0,debug=3'/>
<qemu:arg value='-chardev'/>
<qemu:arg value='spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev3'/>
<qemu:arg value='-device'/>
<qemu:arg value='usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev3,id=usbredirdev3,bus=ehci.0,debug=3'/>
</qemu:commandline>
1.4 close down any virtual machines you may have open , and restart libvirtd
# service libvirtd restart
2. use virt-viewer to open an existing guest.
# virt-viewer sound
or
# remote-viewer spice://ip:port
3. click view->full screen
we can see USB icon for USB device redirection "USB device selection".
so changed from "ON_QA" to "VERIFIED".
