kvm-spice no display with precise

[James Crow]

Hello,

I am having trouble with kvm-spice in precise amd64.

I installed a recent snapshot and then completed all updates. I 
installed kvm and kvm-spice and virtmanager. I copied over a working VM 
from my 11.10 install. I booted the VM (WinXP) and was able to view the 
console and it worked just as it did under 11.10. I reconfigured the VM 
to use spice and attempted to power on again. virtmanager never displays 
any video if the server is set to spice.

I am able to run 'kvm-spice WinXP.img' and boot and run the VM. Windows 
wants to reactivate because the hardware has changed, but overall it 
seems that kvm is working.

I also tried to copy the kvm-spice command line from when  virtmanager 
attempts to start the VM and I get the same response as running inside 
virtmanager. It appears that the VM has started but if I try to connect 
with spicy or spicec all I get is a black window.

I do not think the VM even trys to boot with the video set to spice. The 
WinXP VM has a static IP and I am unable to ping it.

As another test I created a new VM with an empty raw HD image and a 
bootable Windows install CD to boot from. The VM behaves exactly the 
same with no video output, just a black window.

Any ideas for further troubleshooting or log files I need to look through?

Thank you,
James
