Description John 2013-02-07 05:24:52 UTC

Hello:

My System:
jserinki7 jserink # uname -a
Linux jserinki7 3.6.11-gentoo #2 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 21 20:08:50 SGT 2013 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2720QM CPU @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
[IP-] [  ] app-emulation/spice-0.12.2:0
jserinki7 jserink # qemu-kvm --version
QEMU emulator version 1.2.2 (qemu-kvm-1.2.0), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
Windows are using the spice-guest-tools-0.3.exe:
Red Hat QXL GPU

6.1.0.10016


Bug:
-Change the display resolution or depth inside windows, upon clicking "Apply" or "ok" the VM freezes,
The following is spit out on the spicec starting console:
jserink@jserinki7 ~/qemu/vde $ __spice_char_device_write_buffer_get: internal buf is not available
__spice_char_device_write_buffer_get: internal buf is not available
__spice_char_device_write_buffer_get: internal buf is not available

.

.

-This goes on and on. After about 1 minutes the VM display will flash and either go completely black or become a jumble of colours.
-Closing spicec and reconnecting just gives the same screen.
-The only solution is the kill the VM and restart it.

The bug is VERY repeatable.

Cheers,
john

Hello John,

AFAIK, spicec is deprecated client; could you please try virt-viewer (or remote-viewer) instead? If the bug is reproducible there as well, it has much higher severity...

I can't reproduce with current releases. Please try with more recent versions. thanks
