#190373 — qemu/kvm spice console problem

FromGary Dale <garydale@torfree.net>
Date2017-12-28 06:00 +0100
Subjectqemu/kvm spice console problem
Message-ID<v1ysq-3wI-17@gated-at.bofh.it>
When I try to start a virtual machine, I get the error:

Error connecting to graphical console:
Error opening Spice console, SpiceClientGtk missing

on whichever VM I try to start.

The Virtual Machine Manager shows the VM is running but I can't connect. 
The system running the VMs is Debian/Stretch while my workstation is 
Debian/Buster. This worked until fairly recently (I don't start up the 
VMs too often, but I'm sure I did sometime in the last month). So far as 
I can tell, spice is running on both the host and client machines.

Any ideas on what's changed to cause this problem?

Do you have the "missing" package installed?
The error seems to be common when searching online.

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=spice-client-gtk

No, but I do remember that when I installed virt* packages, it took a
fair bit of sleuthing / trial and error to figure out which spice
packages needed to be installed to get the graphical console to work.
Here's what I currently have:

$ apt list --installed '*spice*'
Listing... Done

I'm not sure what you're asking, but the graphical console works here
even when I launch virt-manager as my regular user (although that user
is a member of groups libvirt, kvm, and adm).

Also, I should note that I'm running Stretch.
