Topic
A updated virt-viewer package that fixes two issues with the "-w" option is
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
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.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
