Looks like there's a kind of "virus" that set /etc/sysconfig/spice-vdagentd file incorrectly. Try to dump the file like $ cat /etc/sysconfig/spice-vdagentd or even better $ hexdump -C /etc/sysconfig/spice-vdagentd We already has some report of this file with wrong syntax. Looks like some web pages are suggesting some wrong syntax. I'm not aware of any distro that package this file wrongly (should not even exist). Obviously can be another issue but worth checking.
