1.292. virt-viewer

1.292.1. RHEA-2011:0752: enhancement update

An update to the virt-viewer package that fixes two bugs is now available.
Virtual Machine Viewer (virt-viewer) is a lightweight interface for interacting with the graphical display of a virtualized guest. It uses libvirt and is intended as a replacement for traditional VNC clients.
Bugs fixed in this update include:
  • The virt-viewer application has been modified to be aware of the new libvirt configuration options for VNC servers, gaining the ability to connect to a VNC server running on a UNIX domain socket. (BZ#651604)
  • When telling virt-viewer to wait for a domain to start (using the -w argument), an error occurred when identifying domains specified based on their UUID, rather than name or ID. (BZ#631667)
All users requiring virt-viewer should install this new package, which fixes these bugs.
