kvm comes from the qemu-kvm package, which comes from the qemu-kvm source tree (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git). This enables kvm by default.
The qemu-kvm-spice package is provided by the qemu-linaro source package, which is based on the qemu source tree (git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git). It disables kvm by default. The reason for qemu-kvm-spice to come from the qemu-linaro source package is because spice cannot go into main, and qemu-kvm is in main while qemu-linaro is in universe. So the answer to 'why not kvm-spice' is because that is the decision made by the upstream for the qemu tree. My fear is that patching this during build for the qemu-kvm-spice package will be fragile. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-qxl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902237 Title: kvm-spice is very slow to boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-linaro/+bug/902237/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
