Description Vivian Bian 2011-02-24 09:18:29 UTC

Description of problem:

From virt-manager changelog , we can see that we have add the spice support on
virt-manager-0.8.6-1.el6 . But we met following problems :
1. - SPICE support (requires spice-gtk) ---- from virt-manager
 changelog
2. - we can add spice graphic device via virt-manager , but we can't access
the graphic interface via virt-manager . Because spiceClientGtk module is not
found .


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start a guest with spice graphic device 
2.try to view guest from virt-manager
3.
  
Actual results:

spiceClientGtk module is not
found .
Expected results:
spiceClientGtk module could be built supported on virt-manager 

Additional info:
from the error and the virt-manager changelog , we can see the spice-gtk is needed to be built available . So if spice-gtk is built available, we should be able to access the spice graphic interface . 
File the bug to virt-manager first , since there is no spice-gtk component , and now we didn't meet the goal "spice support" mentioned in virt-manager changelog .

Comment 5 Suzanne Logcher 2011-03-28 20:30:43 UTC

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains 
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as an 
exception or blocker.  It has been moved to RHEL 6.2 since 
it is a FutureFeature request.

Comment 7 Cole Robinson 2011-04-07 17:23:00 UTC

Is there some bug or request open with the desktop team to get spice-gtk packaged for 6.2? That's basically the interesting piece for this process.

Comment 9 Christophe Fergeau 2011-07-08 11:42:37 UTC

Vivian, this is being tracked in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708417

Comment 10 Cole Robinson 2011-08-01 18:04:46 UTC

Should be fixed with latest virt-manager build

Comment 13 Min Zhan 2011-08-04 02:48:23 UTC

Verified PASS with below environment:
# uname -r
2.6.32-165.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.175.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.4-0rc1.2.el6.x86_64
virt-manager-0.9.0-5.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.6-2.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. # virsh dumpxml <guest>
...
<graphics type='spice' port='5900' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes'/>
...

2. start the guest in virt-manager, found virt-manager can support spice well and no error display any more.
