Hi there,
After installing Spice on Ubuntu Quantal Quetzal and setting up a Win7 host with the QXL drivers (which are found correctly), things aren't working as they should. The performance of the graphical layer isn't optimal. There are three issues I found: . When stressing the VM by playing a full hd movie, the CPU of the guest OS tops at 100% and the performance is reduced massively . I get quite a few warnings on the Hypervisor saying: (/usr/bin/kvm-spice:3756): Spice-Warning **: red_parse_qxl.c:406:red_get_image: guest error: missing palette on bitmap format=2 . When adding the Audio driver to the command line to run the guest, video performance of the guest is completely gone when stressing it by playing any kind of video. The audio is working correctly, but the video performance is drastically reduces. The command for this: kvm-spice . -device AC97,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 The command I use to start the Windows 7 guest: kvm-spice -cpu host -name win-7 -enable-kvm -m 3000 -M pc-1.2 -net nic,macaddr=DE:AD:BE:EF:95:D0 -net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -usb -drive file=/var/vmmachines/win-7.img -vga qxl -spice port=5901,disable-ticketing I used Ubuntu 12.10 server (Beta 2) as hypervisor, the server is able to support hardware acceleration. To install all tools, I ran apt-get install qemu-kvm-spice QEMU emulator version 1.2.0 I'm basically stuck with proving the capabilities of SPICE, which I know are amazing, but I can't get it to work properly. Kind regards, Tom
