Description Amador Pahim 2010-12-19 01:10:08 UTC
Description of problem:
Running libvirt 0.8.6, spice parameters does not work

Version-Release number of selected component:
0.8.6

Steps to Reproduce:
Change the VM video device from:
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>
to:
     <video>
      <model type='qxl' heads='1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>

Try to start VM with:
# virsh start Ubuntu

Actual results:
error: Failed to start domain Ubuntu
error: unsupported configuration: This QEMU does not support QXL graphics adapters

Expected results:
Domain Ubuntu started

Additional info:
To skip this test, I had to edit the "src/qemu/qemu_command.c", in libvirt source, commenting this lines:

/*   if ((def->videos[0]->type == VIR_DOMAIN_VIDEO_TYPE_QXL) &&
 *    !(qemuCmdFlags & QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_VGA_QXL)) {
 *    qemuReportError(VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED, "%s",
 *                    _("This QEMU does not support QXL graphics adapters"));
 *    goto error;
 *   } 
 */

Comment 1 Amador Pahim 2010-12-20 11:19:49 UTC
Going deeper in this problem, I saw qemu does not show the vga qxl capability in help:

[root@pahim-pc libvirt]# qemu --version
QEMU emulator version 0.13.0 (qemu-kvm-0.13.0), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

[root@pahim-pc libvirt]# qemu -help | grep vga
-vga [std|cirrus|vmware|xenfb|none]

I think libvirt is OK, but qemu needs to show the correct information about capabilities.

failing domain

Sorry for posting this twice but I clicked the wrong bug initially. With this package and libvirt from virt-preview repo the domain (attached) won't start:
# LANG=C virsh start windows
error: Failed to start domain windows
error: wewnętrzny błąd Zakończono proces podczas odczytywania wyjścia dziennika
console: qemu-kvm: -spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing: Invalid
parameter 'addr'
parse error: port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing

Comment 6 Mikhail Kulemin 2011-01-29 13:01:20 UTC
This bug explain problem:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=664190

With patched libvirt spice works well.

Comment 7 Pavel Zhukov 2011-01-29 13:02:37 UTC
"addr" parse error is a bug of libvirt, not qemu. 
qemu "spice" section hasn't "addr" option.

Comment 8 Mikhail Kulemin 2011-01-29 13:11:43 UTC
It should be noted that in the last development version of qemu we can find "addr" option in spice parameters. So, I hope that in next update of qemu (In virt preview repo) that issue will be fixed.

final patch version

This patch disables the failing test so that the srpm can actually be rebuilt.

Oops wrong bug...

Comment 11 Julian Sikorski 2011-02-11 23:21:13 UTC
Looks like the problem is fixed in version 2:0.14.0-0.1.201102107aa8c46.fc14 which recently appeared in the virt-preview repo.

Comment 12 Pavel Zhukov 2011-02-24 09:28:35 UTC
The problem fixed in rawhide.
