SPICE available on EL9 using a COPR
Red Hat famously removed support for SPICE consoles in RHEL 9. One good conversation about it is over on the Rocky Linux 9 forums.
To find all this info, I started with an Internet search: rocky 9 spice graphics are not supported with this QEMU
But some wonderful and enterprising individual rebuilds the Fedora packages for EL9, and has put them in a copr! So all us EL addicts can get our SPICE kvm guest consoles back so everything works.
The instructions are very simple. To enable the repository, run this dnf command.
# dnf -y copr enable ligenix/enterprise-qemu-spice ; dnf update
And then install qemu-kvm with spice support. Or if it is already installed, just update.
dnf install virt-manager
This information will enable my work for some future blog posts.
