[Bug 1613264] Re: Virt-manager Spice console not working
Xenial: gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 (so the original report here likely is a different thing) Artful: gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 Bionic: gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 & gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0 The reason in Bionic is that spice-gtk is synced from Debian already, but virt-manager needs a merge that waits for libvirt & qemu to be complete before that. Thanks Lee for the comment, this helped to spot a new issue in Bionic, I spawned bug 1741861 to cover that. But for the pre-bionic cases discussed in this bug report here we are back at: 1. how/why have you installed it without the default recommends? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613264 Title: Virt-manager Spice console not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/1613264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1613264] Re: Virt-manager Spice console not working
Hi Lee, since virt-manager has: Recommends: libvirt-daemon-system (>= 1.2.7), gnome-icon-theme, gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 I just wanted to ask how you got into the case to not have it installed? Same question already in comment #6 But then I found this: Recommends: gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 But "Package gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 is not available, but is referred to by another package." Instead what exists "gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0" Now please do mind the spaces. gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 vs gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0 It seems the package existed once, but was renamed. I need to do some checks what exactly changed when in the past and out of that we can derive fixes then. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613264 Title: Virt-manager Spice console not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/1613264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1613264] Re: Virt-manager Spice console not working
I ran into this on Bionic but had to install the gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0 package instead to fix it. For me apt locked trying to install virt-manager. While running dpkg --configure -a got virt-manager installed it seemed to of missed this dependency. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613264 Title: Virt-manager Spice console not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/1613264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1613264] Re: Virt-manager Spice console not working
I experience exactly the same problem. I didn't committed any doc. I only installed qemu, and virt-manager, as usual. * There is no reason for them to not work * There is no reason for them to enforce a new screen-sharing protocol (spice or whatever) to me * There is no reason for them to do this with bugs * There is no reason for them to cause mystical error messages with these bugs * And there is no reason for them to not fix these bugs years long. Because I've faced the same problem many years ago. I can't believe, I am really the only one trying to use virt-manager on debian, or...??? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613264 Title: Virt-manager Spice console not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/1613264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had this problem too. Basically, I followed the guide on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/VirtManager and ran the command `sudo apt-get install virt-manager ssh-askpass-gnome --no-install- recommends`. I think OP followed the same guide and therefore bumped into this issue. This is therefore not a bug as this package is not essential for this application to run but rather a very useful add-on. With a quick google you immediately find out what to do if you want this functionality.

[Bug 1613264] Re: Virt-manager Spice console not working
Hi, thanks for the ping I didn't see the bug before. For me things worked right out of the box, but I could reproduce by uninstalling the gir1 package that was mentioned before. Therefore I can somewhat confirm the issue but IMHO it is not that much a bug, let me explain why. I went back and checked why it worked for me out of the box and the package was installed at first and it was driven by correct dependencies. $ aptitude why gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 --show-summary Packages requiring gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0: virt-manager So the packaging already has a valid dependency to make this work. Since many or rather most common virt-manager tasks work I think "recommends" is the right dependency in general. We would need to check why you had it not installed, as by default recommends are installed. Maybe you had the packages from the image which can leave out some recommends to keep image size down? Therefore I wanted to ask how you installed virt-manager? - was it without recommends intentionally then this is not really a bug - did it come from other dependencies, images, ... and missed to install the recommends than we should understand and solve that. Setting incomplete until we know how you got virt-manager without the recommended gir1 package. ** Changed in: virt-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613264 Title: Virt-manager Spice console not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/1613264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, I got it working using this magic incantation: apt install gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 Yes, it's still broken, but at least you perhaps get stuff done.
