virt-viewer bug fix update

Advisory:	RHBA-2009:1299-1
Type:	Bug Fix Advisory
Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2009-09-02
Last updated on:	2009-09-02
Affected Products:	RHEL Desktop Multi OS (v. 5 client) RHEL Virtualization (v. 5 server)

Details

A updated virt-viewer package that fixes two issues with the "-w" option is
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Virtual Machine Viewer provides a graphical console client for connecting
to virtual machines. It uses the GTK-VNC widget to provide the display, and
libvirt for looking up VNC server details.

This update addresses the following two bugs:

* the "-w" or "--wait" options (for "wait for domain to start") returned an
"invalid option" error rather than waiting for the nominated domain to
start. (BZ#444024)

* when a guest was started up, running "virt-viewer --wait [guestname]" did
not result in notification of the guest's changed status and did not result
in virt-viewer connecting to the newly-started guest. (BZ#444028)

All Virtual Machine Viewer users should install this updated package which
fixes these two problems.
