Public bug reported: When starting KVM guest I saw this error on recent Ubuntu: "qxl_send_events: spice-server bug: guest stopped, ignoring"
Note: the common way how libvirt 8.0 sets up a guest by default also triggers this (this is what got me started to search for it). Since graphic related things could be odd on servers I connected an X stack. But still, when using `-vga qxl` I see this message. The message happens for all display types -display [vnc gtk none sdl] Also if vnc and spice are present (for the sake of initializing backends) $ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -machine q35,accel=kvm -m 512M \ -kernel /boot/vmlinuz \ -vga qxl -display vnc=:0 -spice port=5903,addr=127.0.0.1 ... qxl_send_events: spice-server bug: guest stopped, ignoring This was working prior to qemu 6.2 The fail seems to be non-fatal, the guest worked to present boot console just fine. Booting the same into a UI e.g. an Ubuntu install ISO TODO. qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 2 -cpu host -machine ubuntu,accel=kvm -m 1024M \ -vga qxl -display vnc=:0 \ -boot d -cdrom ubuntu-20.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso ^^ works including bootsplash graphics as well as the UI stack in gnome is happy with QXL. This is true for local windows (e.g. gtk) as well as connections via spice client. So it is not fatal, but disturbing it is still ... I found quite some web-hits of this error signature, but mostly in regard to un-raid. I failed to find why they faced it and what their fix was. mostly discussions and hints to reboot to fix. I also found some very old bugs and references: - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912218 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/qemu-devel/patch/[email protected]/ But while not seeing an issue about the error itself I see the error message present on a few recent issue reports - but in none of these it was the topic that was up for debate: - https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/681 - https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/867 - https://forum.manjaro.org/t/virtual-machine-manager-error-qemu/95314/4 ** Affects: qemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1964777 Title: qxl_send_events: spice-server bug: guest stopped, ignoring To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1964777/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
