Description Boris Derzhavets 2011-04-13 15:19:35 UTC

Description of problem:

Virt-Manager 0.8.7-3 allows to switch particular VM from VNC Server to SPICE Server and run spice session via GUI or connect to VM via command line locally.
In this case Spice Display Screen will show address 127.0.0.1 and connections to VM via spicec will be available only locally.
 To get spicec working remotely i had remove Display VNC and "Add hardware"-> Display Spice.  It will show you address 0.0.0.0 . In this case connections via spicec will be available remotely.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 15 TC1 beta

How reproducible:

As written above

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch from VNC to SPICE
  
Actual results:
Remote connections unavailable.

Expected results:
Remote connections work.

That's expected. By default we aren't going to enable external spice connections, since most people probably don't want that, and virt-manager can tunnel a local spice connection over SSH anyways if connecting remotely.

The Graphics details section should explain the listen address more clearly though, using the same terminology we do in the Add Hardware wizard. We can use this bug to track that.

Comment 2 Boris Derzhavets 2011-04-21 11:18:33 UTC

Fixed in Virt-Manager 0.8.7-4. Bug closed

Comment 3 Marko Myllynen 2012-03-15 17:27:29 UTC

This is still an issue with 0.9.0, the Graphics details section does not allow changing the address to listen, one still needs to remove/add the spice graphics to be able to listen also non-localhost addresses.

Comment 4 Cole Robinson 2014-01-29 14:24:49 UTC

Fixed upstream now
