Ok, so the &#39;host=&#39; argument is unsupported on qemu 0.13 and the spice documentation is wrong.<div><br></div><div>Attached is a qemu wrapper script that you can save under the name /tmp/qemu-libvirt-spice-fixer.</div>

<div>Then you edit your /etc/libvirt/qemu/myvm.xml and change the emulator line to this:</div><div><br></div><div><div>    &lt;emulator&gt;/tmp/qemu-libvirt-spice-fixer&lt;/emulator&gt;</div><div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>

Now use virt-manager 0.8.6 to create a spice display or simply add it manually to /etc/libvirt/qemu/myvm.xml like this:</div></div><div><br></div><div><div>    &lt;graphics type=&#39;spice&#39; autoport=&#39;yes&#39;/&gt;</div>

</div><div><br></div><div>Restart libvirt and boot your VMs.</div><div>You can now use spicy to connect to your VMs.</div><div><br></div><div>This is quite dirty and insecure cause anybody anywhere will be able to connect to your VMs with the spice protocol. But we are testing new stuff here, right!?</div>

<div><br></div><div>You can clean the mess when qemu 0.14 will be available so all these workaround won&#39;t be needed anymore. Hopefully.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Avi</div>

Meanwhile I can&#39;t test and play with none of these features because the newest packaged qemu I can find is 0.13 which doesn&#39;t support parameters that libvirt generates.<div><br></div><div>:-(</div><div><br></div>
<div>

I&#39;m not willing to compile qemu 0.14 just to test spice.</div><div><br></div><div>Unless you guys have another tip or hidden repo to point me...</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance,</div><div>Avi<div><div></div>

&gt; You&#39;ll need qemu-0.14 for this to work, however it doesn&#39;t look like the<br>
&gt; release candidate has been built for rawhide yet.<br>
<br>
</div>Or for virt-preview, which makes it rather hard to test new features<br>
like this...<br>
<br>
The virt-preview repo has also been broken for several days now because<br>
the new virt-manager packager wants spice-gtk-python which isn&#39;t there.<br>
