Hello, i want to start a guest OS in the server, and use spice to
achieve graphical interaction with the guest OS. But when i config
the XML file, i was confuse by spice .
The graphic node is :
<graphics type='spice' port='5990' ><listen
type='address'
address='127.0.0.1'/></graphics>
but is has such error as below :
libvir: QEMU error : internal error process exited while connecting to
monitor: qemu-spice: -spice
port=5990,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing: Invalid parameter 'addr'
parse error: port=5990,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing
Apparently your "qemu-spice" binary supports the -spice option, but
doesn't support the addr option. That seems very strange. What is the
origin of "qemu-spice", and what version does it display?
What is the meaning of <listen type='address' address='*****'/>,
This is a new syntax starting in libvirt 0.9.4 that allows describing
the address to listen on either as an IP address/domain name, or as a
network name ("network name" referring to one of the virtual networks
defined by libvirt)
If the localhost IP is A and the spice-server IP is B. what should
i set the listen type ? to start the Domain and to achieve
graphical interaction with the guest OS.
You can leave it at the default of localhost (127.0.0.1) as long as your
spice client (e.g. virt-manager) is running on the same machine. You
would only want to change the address to something else if you needed to
connect directly to the guest's spice server from a different physical
machine, and in that case you would set the address to one of the
physical interfaces on the host (*not* the guest).
However, this is not the cause of your original problem - your qemu
binary doesn't like the -spice option as constructed by libvirt; there
is something old / non-standard about this qemu.
