There seems to be a privilege problem. I did following:
sudo chmod 770 /var/lib/libvirt/qemu
I also added my user to kvm group. After that I could start virt-manager without sudo.

i think that the problem is somewhere in package qemu-kvm-spice .
i found it only in universe precise repository ….

Wow thanks for the quick update!

I upgraded spice to 0.10.1-5 and it works like a charm now.

I just built patched version of SPICE 0.10.1-5 ( per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808936 ) in PPA
https://launchpad.net/~bderzhavets/+archive/lib-usbredir79/+packages

Try attach this PPA to your system and upgrade SPICE. If it will work, I’ll copy new SPICE 0.10.1 to main PPA.
