Ah - found #696638 "yum install spice-gtk-python" fixes the problem on both F14 and F15 boxes either proper rpm dependencies or better help message [on which rpm to install] would be good. *** Bug 696638 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** urgh, virt-manager had an incorrect dep on spice-gtk, not spice-gtk-python. virt-manager-0.8.7-4.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/virt-manager-0.8.7-4.fc15 Package virt-manager-0.8.7-4.fc15: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 15 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing virt-manager-0.8.7-4.fc15' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/virt-manager-0.8.7-4.fc15 then log in and leave karma (feedback). [checked the F15 update and added karma] Also - Could you also push this update to F14 aswell? We aren't having virt-manager in f14 depend on the spice client, because f14 qemu and libvirt don't work well together out of the box. I'm using kvm VMs on F15 - and virt-manager from F14. With the virt-manager-0.8.7 update to F14 -I'm able to configure all spice related things on the remote F15 VMs- except for "No module named SpiceClientGtk" error - which got fixed by installing "spice-gtk-python" [on F14]. So I think its appropriate for F14 to have this update [as its a client side functionality]. The server side functionality wrt qemu probably needs a protocol fix.. [i.e virt-manager should check with libvirtd - if it supports spice or not - and then display appropriate options to the user] [well - if I attempt to change f14 vm settings from vnc to spice - I get the following error anyway: libvirtError: internal error unknown graphics device type 'spice' so perhaps thats a sufficient error message for F14] > The server side functionality wrt qemu probably needs a protocol fix.. [i.e

The QEMU in F14 contains a set of non-upstream, incomplete patches for SPICE. F15 is the first QEMU which has remotely usable SPICE support.
virt-manager-0.8.7-4.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. This problem either persisted or there was a regression... on a newly installed Fedora 17 system I got the same error, and upon finding and reading this bug was able to resolve it with "yum install spice-gtk-python". The bottom line is that virt-manager still doesn't correctly depend on spice-gtk-python. This bug should be re-opened. Indeed I just ran into this as well on Fedora 17. This problem is still/again present. i felt free to reopen this bug because it is still or again present in fedora 17. Me too affected by tis bug with F17 and solved installing spice-gtk-python *** Bug 829002 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I verified this is fixed with the latest virt-manager version in F17, spice-gtk-python is correctly pulled in as a dependency, and new guests on a freshly installed machine use spice. |
