Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1134980
Should export first vga display with Spice
Last modified: 2015-03-05 04:54:04 EST
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1058625 +++ --- Additional comment from Marc-Andre Lureau on 2014-08-28 10:23:58 EDT --- The spice assert is solved by the following Spice server patch: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2013-November/015453.html However, qemu did not register the vga display channel, so you get a "connected to display" virt-viewer info, but no actual guest display. Let's clone this bug for that.
Note that the first display is correctly registered in qemu upstream.
Can be reproduced with 'qemu-kvm -spice disable-ticketing,port=5931 -device qxl' The Spice assert() would not happen if the first display would be exported. (the assert() is solved in original bug)
Sounds like a bug 987312 duplicate, please check.
Moving to qemu-kvm-rhev. Should have picked up the fix by 2.1 rebase. Please verify.
For this bug reproduce: This bug was clone of bz1058625 which is a spice bug, and component has changed from qemu-kvm to qemu-kvm-rhev, so just use qemu-kvm and old spice could reproduce it. Here is my test: Host: qemu-kvm-1.5.3-83.el7.x86_64 spice-server-0.12.4-6.el7.x86_64 Boot guest with following command line, qemu-kvm aborted. gdb --args /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \ -M pc \ -cpu SandyBridge \ -m 2G \ -smp 4,sockets=120,cores=2,threads=1,maxcpus=240 \ -enable-kvm \ -name rhel7 \ -uuid 990ea161-6b67-47b2-b803-19fb01d30d12 \ -smbios type=1,manufacturer='Red Hat',product='RHEV Hypervisor',version=el6,serial=koTUXQrb,uuid=feebc8fd-f8b0-4e75-abc3-e63fcdb67170 \ -k en-us \ -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew \ -nodefaults \ -monitor stdio \ -qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait \ -boot menu=on \ -bios /usr/share/seabios/bios.bin \ -monitor unix:/tmp/monitor0,server,nowait \ -usb \ -device usb-tablet,id=tablet0 \ -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=0 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0 \ -serial unix:/tmp/ttyS0,server,nowait \ -monitor unix:/tmp/monitor-unix0,server,nowait \ -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on \ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=54:52:00:B6:40:22,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 \ -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 \ -drive file=/root/rhel7-64.raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,format=raw,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=native \ -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-disk1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,bootindex=0,ioeventfd=on \ -spice port=5901,disable-ticketing \ -device qxl,id=video1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,vram_size=134217728 -device qxl,id=video2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8,vram_size=134217728 -device qxl,id=video3,bus=pci.0,addr=0x9,vram_size=134217728 -device qxl,id=video4,bus=pci.0,addr=0xa,vram_size=134217728 \ Update qemu to qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-16.el7.x86_64 re-test this bug. Host: qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-16.el7.x86_64 3.10.0-213.el7.x86_64 spice-server-0.12.4-8.el7.x86_64 Guest: 3.10.0-213.el7.x86_64 Steps: 1.

Connect guest by remote-viewer. Result: 1. Guest boot up, but spice shows black screen with just a underline flash if set guest graphical mode. 2. Can login guest with text mode. notice: The command line without -vga device or -device qxl-vga. Gerd, If qemu export first vga display to spice, guest display supposed to work. could you please have a look at this bug if work as expected? Thanks, Mazhang.

Looks like the guest has trouble dealing with that setup. Can you attach Xorg.log?

[ 25.597] (EE) no screens found(EE) Yep, that's it. I think the xorg driver supports qxl-vga only, the multihead mode with secondary qxl devices was only ever used with windows guests. So I suspect this setup simply lacks guest side support ...

Gerd, Is this a configuration problem, How do I setup guest to support qxl devices? if not, should I open a new bz trace it? Thanks, Mazhang.

No. Additional '-device qxl' devs is the old fashioned way to do multihead. It's deprecated since spice got support for multihead with a single '-device qxl-vga'.

Summary: 1. After update qemu to qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-16.el7.x86_64, qemu-kvm not crash any more. 2. Guest black screen with 4 qxl devices, but qxl device has deprecated. So the test result was expected, set this bug as verified. Any problem please let me know. Thanks, Mazhang.
