Topic
Updated rhevm-spice-client packages that fix bugs are now available.
Description
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager provides access to virtual machines
using SPICE. These SPICE client packages provide the SPICE client and usbclerk
service for both Windows 32-bit operating systems and Windows 64-bit operating
systems.
Changes to the mingw-virt-viewer component:
- Previously, in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.3, the console.vv file did
not include an auto-conf parameter. This meant that virt-viewer reverted to
default settings and the SPICE console opened only on a single display, did not
open in full-screen mode, and used default screen resolution, all of which
required to be manually set for each instance. Now, virt-viewer enables
auto-conf when 'fullscreen' is set in the console.vv file and the SPICE console
opens with the expected display settings. (BZ#1094324)
- Previously, various clipboard managers, operating on the client or on the
guest, would occasionally lose synchronization, which resulted in clipboard data
loss and the SPICE console freezing. Now, spice-gtk have been patched, such that
clipboard synchronization does not freeze the SPICE console anymore.
(BZ#1105183)
All Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization users are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages which address this issue.
