- add USB redirection support, see Hans comments in the log and that
post for details: http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/11084.html
- introduce SpiceGtkSession to deal with session-wide Gtk events, such
as clipboard, instead of doing it per display
- many cursor and keyboard handling improvements
- handle the new “semi-seamless” migration
- support new Spice mini-headers
- better coroutines: fibers on windows & jmp on linux
- add Vala vapi bindings generation
- many bug fixes and code improvements

Build requires spice-protocol 0.10.1 and the most recent usbredir 0.3.3

Two options of building patched QEMU-KVM 1.0 are considered bellow.

First one : Qemu-kvm 1.0 has been built based on branch qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir as of 12/29/2011. It contains all required usb redirection patches on top of QEMU-KVM 1.0 release

Second one : Patching QEMU-KVM 1.0 (core git tree) via extracted patches set to support USB redirection on Ubuntu Precise. Generating patches set via commands

I was not expecting Qemu&Spice USB redirection to work.
However, it seems to be working.





Snapshot on Server



Snapshot on remote WS

$ git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu
$ cd qemu
$ git checkout -B qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir origin/qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir
$ cd ..
$ cp -R qemu qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir

Intermediate release :-

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu/log/?h=qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir

clearly demonstrates that all usb redirection patches won’t be in Qemu-kvm 1.0 release

Libusb build is based on libusb-1.0.9-rc3 official package
Qemu-kvm 1.0 debian/rules contains:-

./configure \
–target-list=”x86_64-softmmu i386-softmmu x86_64-linux-user i386-linux-user” \
–prefix=/usr \
–interp-prefix=/etc/qemu-binfmt/%M \
–disable-blobs \
–disable-strip \
–enable-spice \
–enable-usb-redir \
$(conf_arch)

VirtFS support is available.

Upgrade version of Libvirt up to 0.9.7 allows to avoid using “qemu” command line (libvirt 0.9.2) and follow http://planet.spice-space.org/ update VM’s XML profile under /etc/libvirt/qemu/ as suggested in second blog entry of Hans de Goede (September 09, 2011):-
Change the first line from: <domain type=’kvm’> to:
<domain type=’kvm’ xmlns:qemu=’http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0′>
And add the following lines at the end, above the “</domain>” line:
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value=’-readconfig’/>
<qemu:arg value=’/etc/qemu/ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg’/>
<qemu:arg value=’-chardev’/>
<qemu:arg value=’spicevmc,name=usbredir,id=usbredirchardev1′/>
<qemu:arg value=’-device’/>
<qemu:arg value=’usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev1,id=usbredirdev1,bus=ehci.0,debug=3′/>

Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 has been built up on current snapshot of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk to obtain Spice-Gtk with usb redirection support working stable with Spice 0.10.0. Builds have been done on Ubuntu Precise and Oneiric as well.Packaged version version of Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 is built up on mentioned git repository. Running autogen.sh with exported environment variable NOCONFIGURE allows to perform it in one build per Debian’s Spice-Gtk-0.7-3 building schema, however requiring several updates to debian/control and debian/rules due to snapshots have to be done from current git tree.Upgrade version of Libvirt up to 0.9.7-2 allows to avoid using “qemu” command line (libvirt 0.9.2) and follow http://planet.spice-space.org/ update VM’s XML profile under /etc/libvirt/qemu/ as suggested in second blog entry of Hans de Goede.
Per Daniel Berrange: In the same way that SSH allows you to setup hostname aliases in $HOME/.ssh/config, libvirt will now allow you to setup URI aliases in $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt.conf (if you are running unprivileged) or /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf (if you are running as root). NB do not confuse this file with libvirtd.conf which is a server side libvirtd daemon config file. Due to spice upgrade users should be able to run Spice server on 32-bit OS (Precise daily builds). View also Qemu-kvm 0.15.1 & Spice(0.10.0) & Libvirt 0.9.7-2 USB Redirection support for Ubuntu Oneiric.
Libvirt upgrade is based on

Change it in:
flavours = generic server virtual pvhvm

File: debian.master/control.d/vars.pv

Kernel installed is 3.1.0-030100-generic

Consider option downgrade seabios 1.6.3 => 0.6.2-qxl if some things go wrong for you.
It won’t affect USB Redirection support

Spicy should be run by root, view http://planet.spice-space.org/

Spice-Gtk-0.7.6X build in general follows Debian’s 0.7-3 packaging schema, however several changes have been done to debian/control and debian/rules
