Trying to connet to a spice vm, or just type "spicec" into the konsole, spicec exits with the following error: "Error: unhandled exception: create IC failed" However, things like "spicec --help" work. If i type "spicec -t "test"" i'll get a (correct) message "spicec: missing --host" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge app-emulation/spice 2. type "spicec" into konsole Actual Results: get the error "Error: unhandled exception: create IC failed" Expected Results: spicec should connect to the vm spice-info: emerge -pv app-emulation/spice These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

i've now tried a few things and found out that i won't get the error if i build spice without gui. But only when typing "spicec" alone. I still get the error when typing "spicec -t $ip -p $port". I also tried to turn on lots of useflags in "dev-games/cegui" since it depends on it and i guess its needed for the gui. unfortunately that dosen't changed anything.
Please give it a whirl with a newer version.
Tried it with the latest version. Still the same: michael@asterix ~ $ spicec --version spicec 0.10.1 michael@asterix ~ $ spicec Error: unhandled exception: create IC failed Spice is build with: [ebuild R ~] app-emulation/spice-0.10.1 USE="client gui -sasl -smartcard -static -static-libs" 0 kB
Could it be that you somehow built spice (or some other component requiring jpeg) against libjpeg-turbo and then switched back to libjpeg again? Because that message comes from libjpeg(-turbo) and can be reproduced by building spice against libjpeg-turbo but actually using libjpeg then.
This bug can be closed now :) I didn't checked if it's a problem with libjpeg(-turbo) because i got a new pc in the meanwhile but your point sounds good. On the old system i had libjpeg and switched after it got stable to jpeg-turbo so it could be the cause. I just tried spicec with the new system and it works normal. If you really wanna have a answer to this problem i could start the old system and check it. I guess a rebuild of the whole system should finally solve the problem??
Not necessary, but thanks.
