Cannot display graphical console type 'spice':/usr/lib64/libspice-client-glib-2.0.so.8: undefined symbol: g_get_monotonic_time

3.The same error shows when using virt-viewer to launch guest:
# virt-viewer test
virt-viewer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libspice-client-glib-2.0.so.8: undefined symbol: g_get_monotonic_time

4.If I download spice-gtk to spice-gtk-0.22-3.el6.x86_64,no such error shows and spice guest console can be launched successfully.

spice-gtk-0.22-4 was built against glib 2.28 (this is related to bug #1101398). This bug should go away if you upgrade to glib2 2.28 instead of glib2 2.26 which I think you are currently using.

I checked my host,it indeed uses glib 2.26.
After upgrade to glib2 2.28,virt-viewer can work well.
So,spice-gtk should be used together with glib 2.28, however why there is no dependency added in spice-gtk,users will have no idea that they need to update glib while updating spice-gtk.

This runtime dependency on glib 2.28 appeared implicitly because glib 2.28 was present in the build root when the latest spice-gtk build was done. We could set the correct version in spice-gtk Requires, but ideally glib would make it possible to automatically detect this :(
For what it's worth, I don't think we support users upgrading only a subset of rhel6.6 packages.

let's bump requirement, this will also please people who need https proxy support

Comment 6 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-06-18 14:21:47 UTC

Comment 7 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-06-18 14:22:00 UTC

just for the record, the spice-gtk-0.22-6 with the new glib requirement works.
