Spice QXL Driver

(1/1)

trinidad:
Nice informative reply @Moltke . I'm just guessing that the OP is on RHEL (maybe headless) but if not running headless, using the newest gnome-boxes from the DE would automatically configure the install except for spice webdav tools which would need to be added to the guest OS after installation.

I am new to Linux Lite. Just tried the RC of 5.0 and its awesome.
new users should certainly like it.

Now I am not able to install the drivers required for getting spice graphics up and running in the VM. cant find the driver for xorg for spice

I followed the steps in
https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/libosinfo/issues/2

but cant get it to install - xserver-xorg-video-qxl

Would be good to run Linux Lite 5 as a guest with spice enabled in a KVM/QEMU environment

Are you using virt-manager (GUI) or command line only? If you happen to be running qemu-kvm from command line, you have to use the qxl vga option, something like:
--- Code: ---qemu-kvm -hda Linux_Lite5.qcow2 -machine option -m RAM -vga qxl
--- End code ---
and think it should work. However, I find that the virtio driver works a lot better, to use it just change
--- Code: ----vga qxl
--- End code ---
to
--- Code: ----vga virtio
--- End code ---
and that should do it. Virtio driver provides better performance, imo. Read here for more info on this topic https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2019/09/display-devices-in-qemu/

Hope this helps! :)

That package is available in 5.0 - https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xserver-xorg-video-qxl&searchon=names&suite=focal&section=all
