RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vivian Bian 2011-02-24 09:18:29 UTC 
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 .
Comment 5 Suzanne Logcher 2011-03-28 20:30:43 UTC 
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. ***
Comment 7 Cole Robinson 2011-04-07 17:23:00 UTC 
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.
Comment 9 Christophe Fergeau 2011-07-08 11:42:37 UTC 
Vivian, this is being tracked in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708417
Comment 10 Cole Robinson 2011-08-01 18:04:46 UTC 
Should be fixed with latest virt-manager build
Comment 13 Min Zhan 2011-08-04 02:48:23 UTC 
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.
