Known issues
- The XVfb display does not work,because we got some conflicts
- If the host is F13, need to log in as root and Enable "assistive technologies",System->Preferences->Assistive Technologies, check "Enable assistive technologies", then run the test as root
- The dvd_install.py and cd_install.py do not support downloading first if the given media is remote http address.mediakit_sanity.py supports this
- If the testing can not get logs, you may have to modify the autoqa/lib/python/anaconda.py line:"wget -O /bin/minimon http://10.66.65.170/minimon" to where guest can access minimon file
- If have too many windows open,the dogtail may can not focus on virt - viewer to pass args
Log transportation
We may use Virtio instead of TCP/IP to transport logs between host and guest.Follow Remote logging via virtio to test Log transportation via virtio logging. Issues of virtio logging,please see bug: RHBZ #576439
