This breaks installations. Request that once you have decided to use --enable-spice flag in the building of qemu and kvm virtualization packages, that you do not revert back to not using it in successive builds otherwise updating using the rolling repository just breaks installations unnecessarily. Thank You +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #686507 +++ User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 While spice protocol, client and server are included in the distribution, spice has not been included in the upstream qemu by using -enable-spice switch in compiling qemu or qemu-kvm. Both of them should be made available with spice support. The qemu help displays the availability of -spice Without this support including spice (other than spice client) doesn't make sense in the distribution. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run /usr/bin/qemu -spice port=1234,disable-ticketing 2. Run /usr/bin/qemu --help | grep spice Actual Results: 1. Output: qemu: -spice port=1234,disable-ticketing: there is no option group "spice" spice is not supported by this qemu build. 2. Output: -spice <args> enable spice The above is correct output Expected Results: 1. Should see something approximately like the following on standard out and qemu should run and start the spice server do_spice_init: starting 0.6.4 spice_server_add_interface: SPICE_INTERFACE_KEYBOARD spice_server_add_interface: SPICE_INTERFACE_MOUSE spice_server_add_interface: SPICE_INTERFACE_QXL red_worker_main: begin handle_dev_input: start Packages installed qemu 0.14.0_rc1-1.4.2 (x86_64) kvm 0.14.0.0-1,4,1 (x86_64) libspice-server1 0.8.0-3.1 (x86_64) libspice server is present as /usr/lib64/libspice-server.so.1 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
