Hi


The latest SPICE update of spicexpi package has killed our SPICE setup, until we have moved away from it in a month or so you can get around this by :

  • Find someone with sudo rights on your linux
  • Downgrade to spice-xpi-2.7-25.el6.x86_64 (sudo yum downgrade spice-xpi)

Details :

# rpm -q spice-xpi
returns:
spice-xpi-2.7-27.el6.x86_64

then:
# sudo yum -y downgrade spice-xpi

# rpm -q spice-xpi
should return:
spice-xpi-2.7-25.el6.x86_64

after this add the following in "/etc/yum.conf":
exclude=spice-xpi
