Hi All,
I have a new install of Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 LTS setup and running KVM.
Everything *seems* to be fine with the server.
I have then installed 'virt-manager' on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop machine, and successfully connected to the KVM Server.
I have tried to create a new VM (Debian Stretch) from the Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager), but each time I am getting the same issue which is that I cannot see the VM Console.
The error I am getting is:
Error connecting to graphical console:
Error opening Spice console, SpiceClientGtk missing
I have checked that 'SpiceClientGtk' is installed on the Ubuntu Server by entering:
which returns:
so I believe that is correctly installed. For what it was worth, I also installed it on my Desktop, but that made no difference either.
I also tried connecting using 'virt-viewer'.
I entered this on my desktop:
I don't have keys setup (yet) so I am expecting to get asked for the password, which I am (a number of times, but apparently that is expected). The 'virt-viewer' application opens, and sits with the message:
Connected to graphic server
The VM is definitely running (at least according to the host):
Any suggestions on what to try or do next?
Thanks,
Alan.
