Description Evgeni Golov 2017-09-01 14:55:24 UTC
Description of problem:

When libvirt VMs are configured to use "Auto" as the port for VNC or Spice displays, they fail to start with "Address already in use". Assigning a static port works around this issue.

When creating a new VM (with Spice), the error displayed is:
Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2017-09-01T14:21:59.705568Z qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev pty,id=charserial0: char device redirected to /dev/pts/10 (label charserial0)

When using vagrant-libvirt (which defaults to VNC), the error that is displayed is:
Call to virDomainCreateWithFlags failed: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2017-09-01T14:46:13.604480Z qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev pty,id=charserial0: char device redirected to /dev/pts/10 (label charserial0)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-daemon-3.2.1-5.fc26.x86_64
qemu-system-x86-2.9.0-5.fc26.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start a VM that has a VNC or Spice display attached with port:auto

Actual results:
"Address already in use", VM does not start

Expected results:
VM starts

Additional info:
Not sure if it's libvirt or QEMU fault here.
