QEMU Error Starting a VM.

I am trying to move several VM's originally hosted on Ubuntu to Arch. When I try to start the vm I get the following error:

mythtv ~ sudo virsh start gogs
error: Failed to start domain gogs
error: Cannot check QEMU binary /usr/bin/kvm-spice: No such file or directory

In gogs.xml I have:

 <devices>
    <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm-spice</emulator>

Searching Google seems to indicate that I don't need qemu-spice. What should I be using instead?

Re: QEMU Error Starting a VM.

usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64

You may need to create a custom qemu commandline or a new virtual domain in libvirt for spice support inside the guest.
Read archwiki qemu & libvirt pages thoroughly.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)
