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.

Comment 2 Christophe Fergeau 2013-07-10 16:01:54 UTC 
I can reproduce that one.
Comment 3 Christophe Fergeau 2013-07-10 16:26:15 UTC 
Patch sent to https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2013-July/msg00046.html
Comment 4 Christophe Fergeau 2013-07-11 07:11:32 UTC 
Marc-André, the fix is pushed at https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/virt-viewer.git/commit/?id=59ca6bd8a7eda9a0bf14d23f77d0a89f2bafbeaa
Do you want me to add this patch to the virt-viewer package and push a build? Shall I just add the patch? Or do you prefer to handle it all next time you do a virt-viewer build? Let me know what is better for you!

add the patch (in the patch git repo), do a build, add it to errata, whenever you want!

I tried with the virt-viewer-0.5.6-5.el6.
If I didn't update the glib2, the error message when I install virt-viewer is:

Error: Package: virt-viewer-0.5.6-6.el6.x86_64 (/virt-viewer-0.5.6-6.el6.x86_64)

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Sorry, I file the wrong comment, I'll verify it later.
Comment 9 CongDong 2013-07-30 06:25:12 UTC 
I can reproduce this with virt-viewer-0.5.6-2.el6.x86_64.

Steps:
As the steps in description.

# virt-viewer C --spice-ca-file='/etc/pki/libvirt-spice/ca-cert.pem' --spice-host-subject="C=IL,L=Raanana,O=Red Hat,CN=my server"

#remote-viewer spice://127.0.0.1/?tls-port=5901 --spice-host-subject="C=IL,L=Raanana,O=Red Hat,CN=my server" --spice-ca-file='/etc/pki/libvirt-spice/ca-cert.pem'

Result:
virt-viewer can't connect vm, but remote-viewer works well.



Verify:
Steps:
As the steps in description.

Result:
virt-viewer and remote-viewer can connect vm successfully both.

As the result , set VERIFIED.
