Status of the virt preview repository?

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

I noticed that the virt-preview repository at:
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jforbes/virt-preview/fedora-16

Is no longer beeing updated, given that Justin has moved over to the Fedora
kernel team this is understandable. So the question is what are we going to do with the
virt-preview repository?

Regards,

Hans

Sorry, I will get it in sync today.  Basically since the F16 repos sits
in my space, no one else can really update it. I will keep it going.
Hopefully F17 will be done differently, and in a shared space.

I see it did update, but it's missing the ipxe-roms-qemu package that 
qemu now needs:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: 2:qemu-system-x86-1.0-12.fc16.x86_64 (fedora-virt-preview)
            Requires: ipxe-roms-qemu

Anybody else seeing a problem with the new virt-viewer?

Specifically I find that when I try and quite (with either the menu 
option or the window close icon) it disconnects from the guest and 
displays "Connected to graphic server" in the middle of the window but 
doesn't actually exit.

This is a bug in VNC support that is fixed upstream, but not yet fixed in
Fedora. It doesn't affect SPICE. Please file a BZ

Hmm,

Is the vm using vnc as display protocol perhaps? We made some
changes were on quit it waits for the display widget to get a
chance to properly clean up and close all sockets. These changes
were necessary to properly hand back usb devices which were
redirected to the client kernel, and as such they have been
developed and tested with spice vms, it could be we need some
fixes for vnc based vms... ?

Regards,

Hans

It is using VNC yes. I'd love it to be using Spice but the lack of 64 
bit Windows drivers currently prevents me.

Testing with a linux VM that is using spice I can see that it does close 
properly there.

Thanks for updating it, any chance you could also throw in a new
virt-viewer? And notice that you can drop spice*, as there
are actually newer versions (as new as in F-17) in Fedora-16 updates.

Hans
