However, the latest available version of qemu-kvm (qemu-1.3.0-135.2.x86_64) is not compiled with usb redirection option. So adding usb redirection hardware and starting the guest results in the following error from KVM and the guest is not started: error: unsupported configuration: USB redirection is not supported by this version of QEMU Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a guest with SPICE enabled (this issue possibly applies to non-spice based VM with TCP based usb redirection as well but have not tested this) 2.Use virt-manager to add required USB redirection or add the following lines directly to the guest XML file for the VM (replacing the slot 0x08 with the highest unused slot in the guest XML): <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x2'/> </controller> <redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='3'/> </redirdev> <redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='4'/> </redirdev> <redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='5'/> </redirdev> <redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='6'/> </redirdev> 3. use virsh to start the guest VM. Actual Results: The error mentioned in the summary appears and the VM does not start Expected Results: The VM should start with the USB redirection usable by spicy clients to redirect local USB devices to the VM -- 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.
