Description
Test fancy spice features!
Setup
Fedora 20+ host and Fedora 20+ guest. Older works but the defaults may not be in place.
How to test
Verify spice channel is configured correctly.
- Start with a shutoff VM in virt-manager.
- Verify the VM is using spice graphics.
- Verify the VM has a 'Channel spicevmc' attached.
- Verify that 'Controller USB' has model 'USB 2'
- Start the VM, log in to the desktop. Open a terminal and verify the spice agent is running:
ps axwww | grep spice-vdagent
USB redirection
This streams your USB device access over a spice channel, allowing you to attach a local USB device to any VM, even one on a remote machine! And it seamlessly works even for Windows, and doesn't require any particular agent running in the VM. Yes, it's magic :)
- Start with a shutoff VM in virt-manager. Unplug the desired USB device from your host machine.
- Verify the VM had 'USB Redirection' listed on the hardware details page
- Start the VM. Log in to the desktop.
- With the VM console window focused, plug the USB device into your host machine. It should be automatically attached to your VM, and you will be notified in the VM as it sees the device attached (like a 'show files' notification for a thumb drive)
- Verify the device appears operational in the VM.
- From the virt-manager window, navigate to 'Virtual Machine->Redirect USB Device'
- See that your device is selected. Unselect it. It should revert to host access.
Automatic resolution change to match window size
Growing resolution works with F22, but not shrinking resolution

- Continuing from above with a running and logged in VM.
- Connect to the VM graphical console with virt-manager.
- Select View->Scale Display->Auto resize VM with window.
- Once selected, resize the viewer window: after a moment, the guest should automatically resize its resolution to fit the window.
- Try it a few more times, it should continue to work.
Host copy/paste
- Continuing from above with a running and logged in VM.
- Verify you can copy/paste text selection back and forth between the host and the guest.
Host to guest drag and drop file transfer
Copy only works from host to guest
.
.
- Continuing from above with a running and logged in VM.
- On the host, open a file manager like 'nautilus'. Navigate to an existing file.
- Drag the file onto the VM console window.
- Verify the file is transfered to ~/Downloads at the destination. A nautilus window should open in the guest showing the Downloads folder.
Expected Results
No obvious errors occur.
