I am also getting this error in my Ubuntu 18.04 logs during boot. I tried disabling it under Startup Applications:
Spice vdagent /usr/bin/spice-vdagent Agent for Spice guests ... yet I still get the error. I tested the service path by temporarily renaming /usr/bin/spice-vdagent and rebooting, which stopped the error occurring in the log. I don't need the Spice vdagent service, so is there an elegant way to prevent the service from even trying to run? The easiest solution would be to uninstall spice-vdagent, but that doesn't seem to be possible, since it would also remove ubuntu-desktop, which would be unfortunate, to say the least. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to spice-vdagent in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1800196 Title: spice-vdagent[1345]: Cannot access vdagent virtio channel /dev/virtio- ports/com.redhat.spice.0 Status in spice-vdagent package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello, $ journalctl -b [...] oct 26 07:26:57 romanescu spice-vdagent[1345]: Cannot access vdagent virtio channel /dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.spice.0 Best regards, -- Cristian Aravena Romero (caravena) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.10 Package: spice-vdagent 0.17.0-1ubuntu2 Uname: Linux 4.19.0-gnu x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu13 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Oct 26 14:34:00 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-10-13 (378 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Alpha amd64 (20170926) SourcePackage: spice-vdagent UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spice-vdagent/+bug/1800196/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
