RHBA-2016:0137 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated virt-manager packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager) is a graphical tool for administering
virtual machines for KVM, Xen, and Linux Containers (LXC). The virt-manager
utility uses the libvirt API and can start, stop, add or remove virtualized
devices, connect to a graphical or serial console, and view resource usage
statistics for existing virtualized guests on local or remote machines.

This update fixes the following bug:

• When the libvirtd service was stopped while an active connection to libvirtd

was established in the virt-manager application, an error message dialogue was
previously triggered. This caused problems with certain Red Hat certification
tests. With this update, the error message dialogue is not displayed in the
described circumstances, and the error is only printed to the debugging log. As
a result, the libvirtd active connection closes without causing Red Hat
certification test failures. (BZ#1300620)

Users of virt-manager are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.
