Re: Black Screen with Spice and OpenGL acceleration in virt-manager with QEMU/KVM

Hi, thanks in advance.

Only way I got it to work is with qemu on the command line like this:

qemu-system-x86_64 -name Arch -drive file=/home/filip/VM/archlinux.qcow2 -m 8192 -enable-kvm -M q35 -cpu host -smp 12,sockets=1,cores=12,threads=1 -display egl-headless,gl=on -usb -device usb-tablet -bios /usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF_CODE.fd -boot order=c -device virtio-vga,virgl=on -spice disable-ticketing,image-compression=off,seamless-migration=on,unix,addr=/run/user/1000/spice.sock

remote-viewer --verbose --debug --spice-debug spice+unix:///run/user/1000/spice.sock


I have checked the logs, and yes there were errors they are linked in the Manjaro forum thread, but here you go:

https://pastebin.com/pehWEQ0L

These are the errors at the bottom:
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Spice: dcc.c:664:dcc_push_monitors_config: monitors_config is NULL
gl_version 33 - core profile enabled
qemu_spice_gl_scanout_texture: failed to get fd for texture

But like I said the VM works even like that but I can use it only blindly through the keyboard, because the screen is just black.

I may not have followed all the details, but have you gotten it working
with any setup via libvirt, or only with qemu on the command line? It
could be libvirt is not granting access to all the needed host resources
correctly, like the drm node path. Check
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/$vmname.log and see if qemu prints and errors
