Hello,
I posted on the Ubuntu-User list, but received no helpful replies.
I have a 12.04 amd64 desktop install that I am trying to use kvm-spice
to run a virtual Windows install. kvm is working fine and I have a
regular vnc guest (Windows XP) that is running. I tried to create a
new guest using kvm-spice as the hypervisor. I used an iso image and
allocated a 40GB image file. Once the image was created, the guest
shows as running, but I have no video in either the Virtual Machine
Manager or connecting with spicy.
Does anyone have a working kvm-spice install on 12.04?
Thank you,
James Crow
As a follow up, I have recreated the problem on 12.04 server. I have a
10.04 guest that I cloned. The clone was reconfigured to use qxl and
spice. In virt manager, there is no way to change the hypervisor from
kvm to kvm-spice. Using virsh I changed the hypervisor to kvm-spice and
started the guest.
As another test I left the hypervisor as kvm-spice and changed the video
back to vnc/cirrus. I was able to start the guest and view the console
without problem.
Testing other combinations, I found that video on cirrus and Display on
spice allowed me to connect to the guest with spicec.
It would appear that the problem is with the qxl backend rather than
kvm-spice. I now need to figure out how to get more logging out of kvm
with the qxl video device.
Thank you,
James Crow
