Topic
Updated spice-vdagent packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The spice-vdagent packages provide a SPICE agent for Linux guests.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, when using a SPICE client and the SPICE protocol to connect to a
virtual machine, copying and pasting text to and from the client failed for
certain applications running in the guest. This update ensures that the
spice-vdagent utility properly handles the TIMESTAMP and STRING selection types,
and the problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1117764)
- Prior to this update, SPICE agents in some cases did not properly store the
resolution of the guest screen opened by virt viewer. Consequently, the
resolution of the guest screen unintentionally changed in certain situations,
such as after enabling and disabling a second guest screen. This update ensures
that guest screen resolution is stored properly, and thus prevents the described
problem. (BZ#1209550)
- Due to a race condition between the SPICE client and the guest's
gnome-settings-daemon, using the SPICE client to re-enable a previously disabled
guest display in some cases failed. This update ensures that
gnome-settings-daemon no longer unintentionally attempts to enable or disable
guest displays, which prevents the problem from occurring. (BZ#1086657)
- After disabling a guest display using the remote-viewer menu, the disabled
display was in some cases immediately re-enabled. This update fixes the
underlying code, and disabled guest displays no longer get automatically
reactivated.(BZ#1206117)
Users of spice-vdagent are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.
