In virt Manager, Ubuntu 32-bit vm run fails when spice server type is set to "spice" It Works fine when set to "vnc."

You should go ahead and file the bug though saying that the spice commandline option is unavailable. <mcpierce> One of the options is to enable spice in the VM. And on 32bit the qemu executable doesn't have that option enabled. <mharvey> ok..just call cmd line <mcpierce> That's why Cole had us do "qemu --help | grep spice". <mharvey> i see <mcpierce> It should show a commandline option "--spice" which the 32bit version doesn't have.
bz would not allow me to attach Ubuntu.xml
