Fixed In Version: spice-client-0.8.1-6.el5_8.2 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The SPICE client did not correctly handle an exception which was raised when trying to connect to a guest operating system with no running SPICE agent. Consequently, the SPICE client application terminated unexpectedly after the 30-second timeout. With this update, the SPICE client correctly handles this situation and successfully connects to the guest system without unnecessary waiting.

Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2012-02-16 13:19:45 UTC
I'll need to make another build, for some reason this build was only built for x86_64, trying to figure out what's going on.

Comment 6 Christophe Fergeau 2012-02-16 20:29:12 UTC
New build pushed with i686 packages this time

Comment 7 Lubos Kocman 2012-02-20 18:23:15 UTC
Verified on spice-client-0.8.1-6.el5_8.2 {i686,x86_64)
