Description Aki Ketolainen 2023-09-29 10:43:09 UTC
Description of problem:

remmina-plugins-spice is missing from EPEL 9

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.4.32-1.el9

How reproducible:

every time

Steps to Reproduce:

1. dnf -y upgrade 
2. dnf search remmina | grep spice
3. (no results)

Actual results:

remmina-plugins-spice is not found in EPEL 9

Expected results:

remmina-plugins-spice should be in EPEL 9

Additional info:

remmina-plugins-spice was included in EPEL 8 but for some reason it was removed for EPEL 9. I think it's because Red Hat disables the Spice server component of Qemu(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2030592#c4)

Terminus on #fedora/libera showed me how to run Alpine's Qemu in a Podman container, so I can continue using the Spice server component of Qemu, but to access the VM's Spice server with remmina, I'd need to use remmina-plugins-spice.

Here's how to setup the Alpine Qemu container:

There are some blockers in the way of this and I haven't had a chance to dig deep into resolving them yet.
