Description of problem: From virt-manager changelog , we can see that we have add the spice support on virt-manager-0.8.6-1.el6 . But we met following problems : 1. - SPICE support (requires spice-gtk) ---- from virt-manager changelog 2. - we can add spice graphic device via virt-manager , but we can't access the graphic interface via virt-manager . Because spiceClientGtk module is not found . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start a guest with spice graphic device 2.try to view guest from virt-manager 3. Actual results: spiceClientGtk module is not found . Expected results: spiceClientGtk module could be built supported on virt-manager Additional info: from the error and the virt-manager changelog , we can see the spice-gtk is needed to be built available . So if spice-gtk is built available, we should be able to access the spice graphic interface . File the bug to virt-manager first , since there is no spice-gtk component , and now we didn't meet the goal "spice support" mentioned in virt-manager changelog .
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as an exception or blocker. It has been moved to RHEL 6.2 since it is a FutureFeature request.
*** Bug 692361 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Is there some bug or request open with the desktop team to get spice-gtk packaged for 6.2? That's basically the interesting piece for this process.
Vivian, this is being tracked in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708417
Should be fixed with latest virt-manager build
Verified PASS with below environment: # uname -r 2.6.32-165.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.175.el6.x86_64 libvirt-0.9.4-0rc1.2.el6.x86_64 virt-manager-0.9.0-5.el6.x86_64 spice-gtk-0.6-2.el6.x86_64 Steps: 1. # virsh dumpxml <guest> ... <graphics type='spice' port='5900' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes'/> ... 2. start the guest in virt-manager, found virt-manager can support spice well and no error display any more.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
