Hello, I am having trouble with kvm-spice in precise amd64.
I installed a recent snapshot and then completed all updates. I installed kvm and kvm-spice and virtmanager. I copied over a working VM from my 11.10 install. I booted the VM (WinXP) and was able to view the console and it worked just as it did under 11.10. I reconfigured the VM to use spice and attempted to power on again. virtmanager never displays any video if the server is set to spice.
I am able to run 'kvm-spice WinXP.img' and boot and run the VM. Windows wants to reactivate because the hardware has changed, but overall it seems that kvm is working.
I also tried to copy the kvm-spice command line from when virtmanager attempts to start the VM and I get the same response as running inside virtmanager. It appears that the VM has started but if I try to connect with spicy or spicec all I get is a black window.
I do not think the VM even trys to boot with the video set to spice. The WinXP VM has a static IP and I am unable to ping it.
As another test I created a new VM with an empty raw HD image and a bootable Windows install CD to boot from. The VM behaves exactly the same with no video output, just a black window.
Any ideas for further troubleshooting or log files I need to look through? Thank you, James -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
