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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:1604 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE python-virtinst bug fix and enhancement update 2013-11-20 21:39:12 UTC

Description tingting zheng 2013-07-02 06:02:51 UTC
The bug can be reproduced on rhel6.
version:
virt-manager-0.9.0-18.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.10.2-18.el6_4.9.x86_64


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #920549 +++

Description of problem:
error shows when changing video from qxl to other models

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa libvirt qemu-kvm virt-manager kernel
kernel-3.7.0-0.36.el7.x86_64
virt-manager-0.9.4-4.el7.noarch
libvirt-1.0.3-1.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.4.0-1.el7.x86_64

Reproduce steps:
1. prepare a guest with a qxl video device, guest xml like:
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' heads='1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>

2. # virt-manager, select video device from the guest, and change model from qxl to others will get error:
Error changing VM configuration: XML error: ram attribute only supported for type of qxl

Actual results:
As steps.

Expected results:
Step 2 should work well and delete <ram> element automaticly when change models.

--- Additional comment from RHEL Product and Program Management on 2013-03-12 06:58:35 EDT ---

Since this bug report was entered in bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

--- Additional comment from Martin Kletzander on 2013-03-14 11:08:24 EDT ---

This is cause by the wrong use of 'ram' instead of 'vram' and recent change in libvirt, should be trivial to fix.

--- Additional comment from CongDong on 2013-04-07 01:38:12 EDT ---

I can reproduce this bug.

--- Additional comment from CongDong on 2013-04-07 02:48:14 EDT ---

# rpm -qa libvirt qemu-kvm virt-manager kernel
virt-manager-0.9.4-4.el7.noarch
libvirt-1.0.3-1.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.4.0-1.el7.x86_64

setps are same with description:

1. prepare a guest with a qxl video device, guest xml like:
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' heads='1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>

2. # virt-manager, select video device from the guest, and change model from qxl to others will get error:
Error changing VM configuration: XML error: ram attribute only supported for type of qxl

Results:
can't change mode to others, and error come out same as description.

Comment 6 tingting zheng 2013-07-19 07:10:18 UTC
Tested with:
python-virtinst-0.600.0-17.el6.noarch
virt-manager-0.9.0-18.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.10.2-19.el6.x86_64

When launch virt-manager, select video device from the guest, and change model from qxl to others will still get the same error.

So the bug is not fixed,move back to ASSIGNED.

Comment 7 Martin Kletzander 2013-07-22 05:31:09 UTC
This is only a fix for the python-virtinst part and new virt-manager has to make a use of that.  The python-virtinst itself will not prevent this error.  I'm moving it back to ON_QA, please test with next virt-manager (the new virt-manager should give you an error with old python-virtinst).

Sorry for the confusion with these bugs.

Comment 8 tingting zheng 2013-08-15 06:04:15 UTC
Tested the bug with:
virt-manager-0.9.0-19.el6.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.600.0-18.el6.noarch
libvirt-0.10.2-22.el6.x86_64

Change video model from qxl to other models such as cirrus,no error occurs,so move the bug to VERIFIED.
