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.

Fixed In Version: spice-server-0.12.0-14.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, qemu-kvm terminated with the following error message, "((null):3635): SpiceWorker-CRITICAL **: red_worker.c:9306:red_create_surface: Untested path stride >= 0." The spice-server did not allow creation of a surface with "stride >= 0," as this path of code was untested, and no qxl driver did this before. On some systems, spice-server terminated when the qxl driver tried creating a surface with the "stride >= 0" path. With this update, spice-server no longer checks for the "stride >=0" path, and VMs with qxl devices are able to run and use their qxl driver.

Comment 1 Gerd Hoffmann 2013-04-18 07:37:23 UTC 
*** Bug 947536 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 2 Robert Lightfoot 2013-04-18 09:38:27 UTC 
Can someone explain to me how 947536 created 2013-04-02 12:54:57 is a duplicate of 952666 created 2013-04-16 07:59:15.  I work mostly with Industrial Controls Software and Linux is only a hobby, but usually the newer is a duplicate of the older not the other way round.  At least I hope this gets it addressed.
Comment 3 Christophe Fergeau 2013-04-18 09:50:08 UTC 
Robert, it's usually done the way you describe it, but in this case, this bug has a link to a patch fixing the bug, so it makes more sense to keep the bug with this link open, and to close the other one as a duplicate.
Comment 4 Robert Lightfoot 2013-04-18 09:56:16 UTC 
Thanks CHristopher I missed the patch link since it was in the text and not in the attachments sections.
Comment 5 Robert Lightfoot 2013-04-19 18:54:25 UTC 
So this Patch -{http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/commit/?id=2c85436dc6c2e9febecfb84c579e7a50a4a6bd6b}- is to an *.c file which means the maitnainer now needs to incorporate and issue an update rpm.  IIRC.
Comment 6 Robert Lightfoot 2013-04-20 15:13:23 UTC 
I just deconstructed the spice-server rpm I am using and this patch is in there and still spice does not work with F19.
Comment 7 Robert Lightfoot 2013-05-03 22:37:37 UTC 
Fedora 19-Beta-TC2 and Centos 6.4 with full updates are still imcompatable if qxl driver is used for video.
Comment 8 Christophe Fergeau 2013-05-17 19:57:38 UTC 
*** Bug 964305 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 10 Uri Lublin 2013-05-19 09:47:04 UTC 
I applied Alon's patch.
This seems to solve the problem.
Fedora 19 guest now comes (but very slowly).
Comment 11 Christophe Fergeau 2013-05-21 09:31:46 UTC 
Do we want this in 6.4.z as well?
Comment 12 Robert Lightfoot 2013-05-24 01:40:23 UTC 
I am still seeing this bug in Centos 6.4 with F19-Beta-RC4, but I suspect that is because Centos 6 is using spice-server-0.12.0-12.el6.  I have not found a 0.12.0-14.el6 rpm or src.rpm to date.
Comment 13 Robert Lightfoot 2013-05-24 12:33:22 UTC 
I also appllied Alon's patch to spice-server-0.12.0-12 and F19 with qxl driver now works on Centos 6.4 aka RHEL 6.4
Comment 14 Paul Vine 2013-05-28 12:02:24 UTC 
QE can ack this when Fedora is added as a requirement for Spice. Please talk to Product Management.
Comment 15 David Blechter 2013-05-28 12:11:46 UTC 
proposing for 6.4.z after the problem in comment 14 will be addressed.
Comment 21 Hans de Goede 2013-05-29 10:32:50 UTC 
Since RHEL-7 is following F-19 quite close atm, any problems with F-19 will also impact RHEL-7, updating the Summary to reflect this.
Comment 23 Paul Vine 2013-05-30 17:10:23 UTC 
QE ca not reproduce the problem as reported with RHEL 7.0 builds from May 22 or May 29.
Comment 24 Paul Vine 2013-06-12 11:28:52 UTC 
Now reproducible on RHEL 7.0, adding QE ack.
Comment 27 Petr Spacek 2013-06-18 07:36:44 UTC 
I confirm that package spice-server-0.12.0-14.el6.x86_64 (brew build 273061, SHA1sum a1f5e9336a9bbfd5ea16f899e0362a02fa7745ec) fixed the problem in our development lab.
