Hi all, I've found this messages in systemd journal but in my case it was a bare metal install of Ubuntu 18.04, so I don't see the need to have spice-vdagent installed (that I understand is for virtual machine guest). Remove it is not an option because it will remove ubuntu-desktop. I tried then to disable it with: $ sudo systemctl disable spice-vdagent
But that was not enough. I found that it was being launched on startup (and that created the error and warning in the logs) so I located the spice-vdagent.desktop in different locations. Finally I found a solution confirming the way to disable it here: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2990871 Basically adding the line: X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false To the files: /etc/xdg/autostart/spice-vdagent.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/spice-vdagent.desktop Then stop and disable the service: $ sudo systemctl stop spice-vdagentd $ sudo systemctl disable spice-vdagentd If I understand my case right this service should not be part of initialization if the installation is not a virtual machine supporting spice. Hope this helps others with similar case, regards. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1800196 Title: spice-vdagent[1345]: Cannot access vdagent virtio channel /dev/virtio- ports/com.redhat.spice.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spice-vdagent/+bug/1800196/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
