[SOLVED] qemu-kvm, spice and virt-manager issues

I managed to install quemu-kvm with spice support from the AUR. I had no problem setting vga to qxl and to get it working in the guest(windows).
When I tried to change the display option in virt-manager from VNC to SPICE I get the following error:
"no module named spiceclientgtk"

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm missing spice-gtk from these. Can you point me to the exact package?

spice-gtk 0.12-4, spice-gtk-fedora 0.4-1 or spice-gtk3 0.13-1 variants?

Looks like 0.12.-4 has some dependency on pulseaudio which I really don't wanna use.

That depends on what your OS version and the dependent software packages you installed。

Re: [SOLVED] qemu-kvm, spice and virt-manager issues

I'm not really sure exactly what you mean by this.

I'm using up to date x86_64 Arch system with KDE. I don't know what exactly to add to this.

The package names I mentioned above are ones I found in AUR.

I'm going to research whether only installing pulseaudio package will make the kde system use it by default in the meantime, in case I need to install it.

EDIT:

Just want to make sure this thread is end appropriately. Basically I just installed spice-gtk from AUR and everything worked as expected.
I have to deal with pusleaudio now though.
