Public bug reported: With qemu-kvm-0.15.0-rc1 virtio-serial-bus reports an error, and windows vdagent can not start. qemu-0.15.0-rc1 behaves as expected, ie vdagent runs in the guest, mouse passes seamlessly between spicec and host and copy/paste works between guest and host. qemu-kvm has been configured with ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-curses --disable-curl --audio-drv-list=alsa --audio-card-list=sb16,ac97,hda --enable-vnc-thread --disable-bluez --enable-vhost-net --enable-spice and is started with qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -enable-kvm -pidfile /home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.pid -drive file=/home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.raw,if=virtio,aio=native -m 1536 -name WinXP -net nic,model -net user -localtime -usb -vga qxl -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent -device virtserialport,nr=1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -spice port=1234,disable-ticketing -monitor stdio
I've also tried start qemu like qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -enable-kvm -pidfile /home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.pid -drive file=/home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.raw,if=virtio -m 768 -name WinXP -net nic,model=virtio -net user -localtime -usb -vga qxl -device virtio-serial -chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -spice port=1234,disable-ticketing -monitor stdio and observed the same results. the host runs 2.6.39.4 vanilla kernel. the guest uses the most recent virtio-serial, vga-qxl and vdagent from spice-space.org ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/821078 Title: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id Status in QEMU: New Bug description: With qemu-kvm-0.15.0-rc1 virtio-serial-bus reports an error, and windows vdagent can not start. qemu-0.15.0-rc1 behaves as expected, ie vdagent runs in the guest, mouse passes seamlessly between spicec and host and copy/paste works between guest and host. qemu-kvm has been configured with ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-curses --disable-curl --audio-drv-list=alsa --audio-card-list=sb16,ac97,hda --enable-vnc-thread --disable-bluez --enable-vhost-net --enable-spice and is started with qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -enable-kvm -pidfile /home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.pid -drive file=/home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.raw,if=virtio,aio=native -m 1536 -name WinXP -net nic,model -net user -localtime -usb -vga qxl -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent -device virtserialport,nr=1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -spice port=1234,disable-ticketing -monitor stdio I've also tried start qemu like qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -enable-kvm -pidfile /home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.pid -drive file=/home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.raw,if=virtio -m 768 -name WinXP -net nic,model=virtio -net user -localtime -usb -vga qxl -device virtio-serial -chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -spice port=1234,disable-ticketing -monitor stdio and observed the same results. the host runs 2.6.39.4 vanilla kernel. the guest uses the most recent virtio-serial, vga-qxl and vdagent from spice-space.org To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/821078/+subscriptions
