How to use SPICE?

Question

I tried to use SPICE with qemu to use with a Windows XP virtual machine on Ubuntu 11.04/64 bit. I followed these instructions:

http://docs.cslabs.clarkson.edu/wiki/SPICE

I ended with these Problems:

• the newly compiled version of qemu conflicted with libvirt (apparmor)
• as a result I could not use virt-manager
• starting the VM without virt-manager was possible, but I did not have a network connection inside the VM

Is there a reliable way to install SPICE in ubuntu 11.04?

Solution

Another topic? Just use Xen ; the explanation is in the post you made a few hours ago: Best way to access a Windows-XP virtual machine

But anyway, if you want SPICE specifically here is the installation method: http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/setup-kvmqemuspice-on-ubuntu-11-04-via-ppaserge-hallynspice2/

No, not Xen - but the link to the Spice instructions work fine.
