Package: virt-viewer
Version: 7.0-2+b1
Severity: minor
Try the following command (optionally add something like
-cdrom ubuntu.iso):
qemu-system-x86_64 -display spice-app
Actual result:
qemu-system-x86_64: info: Launching display with URI:
spice+unix:///tmp/.XXGMF1/spice.sock
qemu-system-x86_64: Failed to launch spice+unix:///tmp/.XXGMF1/spice.sock URI:
The specified location is not supported
qemu-system-x86_64: You need a capable Spice client, such as virt-viewer 8.0
Expected result:
no such error, with additional arguments VM is started.
Actually virt-viewer-7.0 (buster-sid) supports spice+unix scheme
but it is not specified in remote-viewer.desktop.
Upstream commit fixing this issue is included since v8.0 tag:
https://gitlab.com/virt-viewer/virt-viewer/-/commit/c4f6142f15c4e51cbf427f5f1bf1fc6ac0e10d88
remote-viewer: add handling of spice+unix and spice+tls schemes
2018-07-27T15:12:00Z
Accordingly to https://virt-manager.org/download/
virt-viewer 11.0 is available since Friday November 18th, 2021
I hope, the best way to fix the issue is to package new version,
however I have not tried to build it, so some complications may exist.
Workaround:
Add to ~/.config/mimeapps.list

[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/spice+unix=remote-viewer.desktop

Besides qemu shortcut it will allow to launch handler using e.g.
xdg-open spice+unix:///path/to/socket

Version: 8.0-1
In Debian 12 bookworm the remote-viewer.desktop file contains spice+unix
in MimeType. Uploading newer version of the virt-viewer package was
enough to fix the inconvenience.
