Hello, It turns out that currently it is possible to use a socket to connect only for vnc. It is due to 2 issues - virt-viewer does not work with recent listen element - spice needs to open more than 1 channel The bug is simply reproducible by setting the graphics node to: <graphics type='spice'> <listen type='socket' socket='/tmp/spice.sock'/> </graphics> Change the graphics type to vnc and virt-viewer connects without issues.
