Public bug reported:
Although I have installed all the Spice packages needed for KVM (in
theory):
root@virt0:/usr/bin# dpkg --get-selections | grep spice
libspice-client-glib-2.0-1 install
libspice-client-gtk-2.0-1 install
libspice-server1 install
python-spice-client-gtk install
qemu-kvm-spice install
spice-client install
spice-client-gtk install
I still cannot start a guest with Spice channels added:
root@virt0:/usr/bin# virsh start dc0-test
error: Failed to start domain dc0-test
error: unsupported configuration: spicevmc not supported in this QEMU binary
I tried something incredibly hackish and just did mv /usr/bin/kvm
/usr/bin/kvm.dist && ln -s /usr/bin/kvm-spice /usr/bin/kvm. This did in
fact let the VM start, but when connecting to it using spicec -h
localhost -p 5900, although the spice client DID connect, it never did
anything but display a black screen. Worse yet, VNC connections to non-
Spice-enabled hosts now ALSO only displayed a plain black screen!
What am I supposed to do in order to actually get Spice channels working
properly?
