This system is good just for testing client and/or Xspice. Generic Fedora Test Day guidelines apply:
=== Client ===


=== '''Update your machine''' ===
'''client''' means client program or client OS and environment. Preferred clients for this test day are:
* <code>virt-viewer</code> or <code>remote-viewer</code> running on top of Fedora 19
* '''spice-html5''' from Fedora package opened on any of the supported browsers:
**
You can also use another clients:
* <code>virt-viewer</code> or <code>remote-viewer</code> run on different OS or version
* '''Gnome Boxes'''
* <code>virt-manager</code>
* '''virt-viewer''' for Windows. Installers are available for download [http://spice-space.org/download.html at project site]. Note that USB redirection won't work for you unless you [http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2013-May/013479.html build USBClerk yourself]
Don't bother testing these:
* '''spicy''' is a tool used sometimes for testing of some features. Don't expect it to work smoothly, or even work correctly
* '''spicec''' (found in <code>spice-client</code> package on Fedora) is deprecated client that already didn't see any development for quite long time


If you're running Fedora XX, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. If you want to try Rawhide, see the instructions on the [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide. Or:
=== Host ===


=== '''Live image''' ===
'''host''' is a machine that hosts virtual machines. When client is about to show a VM display, it connects to qemu process running on the host.
* you can reuse the host you used for [[Test_Day:2013-05-28_Virtualization|Virtualization Test Day]]
* if you don't have the virtualization host yet, follow virtualization test day [[Test_Day:2013-05-28_Virtualization#What.27s_needed_to_test | instructions]]
* alternatively, you can use any other spice-capable virtualization host
* for testing of connecting to oVirt (or RHEV) VMs, you'll need access to a running oVirt (RHEV) setup


Optionally, you may download a non-destructive Rawhide live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at [[FedoraLiveCD]]. Live images can be found [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/ here].
=== Remote system ===


A physical or virtual system running '''Xspice''' server is called a remote system from now on


== How to get virtualization-capable system? ==
=== Guest system ===


For starters, your physical machine should have:
Virtualized system is frequently call '''guest'''. If you don't have any VM with guest system installed, follow [[Test_Day:2013-05-28_Virtualization#VM_Install | virtualization test day instructions]].
* Hardware virtualization support (e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V) (see [[How_to_debug_Virtualization_problems#Is_My_Guest_Using_KVM.3F|Is My Guest Using KVM?]]). If unavailable, you can still help with testing QEMU support.
* Up to 10-20Gb free disk space. Guest images take up a lot of space.
* Get the packages with <br><pre>yum groupinstall virtualization</pre>


As for getting the latest virt packages, you have a few options:
The guest system needs add-on software called '''spice agent''' installed to make all features fully work:
* on Fedora, it is provided by <code>spice-vdagent</code> package, installed by default. It should be running from start, too (one <code>spice-vdagentd</code> process and two <code>spice-vdagent</code> processes - one for login manager and one for user session)
* on Windows, please install Windows Guest Tools from [http://spice-space.org/download.html project download page]


=== Fedora 19 on a physical machine ===
== Quick VM installation ==


The preferred testing platform is a fully updated Fedora 19 machine. You have a few options for getting the Fedora 19 bits:
=== Gnome Boxes ===


* Install with CD/DVD.
Just start Boxes, create a new VM and follow the guide.
** Latest live CD builds ('desktop' is the default): http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/
** Latest 64 Bit DVD: <<FIXME>>


* Upgrade from Fedora 18
=== virt-install ===
** The supported way is using 'fedup': https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp#How_Can_I_Upgrade_My_System_with_FedUp.3F
** Update using 'yum': https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum  <br>This method is not supported, but is very commonly used by developers. If you're a power user this is a possible option!


=== Fedora 19 virt packages on Fedora 18 ===
<code>virt-install</code> can configure a VM for you including all the subtleties and even start an installation:
<pre>virt-install -c SESSION --name NAME --memory MEMORY [--cdrom CDROM|--location LOCATION] --os-variant OS [--disk DISKOPTS|--nodisks] --graphics spice --video qxl [--video qxl] --channel spicevmc --redirdev usb,type=spicevmc [--redirdev usb,type=spicevmc] </pre>
where:
* local '''SESSION''' is <code>qemu:///system</code> for system-wide session of <code>qemu:///session</code> for actual user session (this is what Boxes uses). Refer to [http://libvirt.org/remote.html libvirt documentation] if you wish to install VM on a different hypervisor
* '''NAME''' is VM name
* '''MEMORY''' is memory size in MB
* a VM can be installed either from '''CDROM''' or, for some distributions, '''LOCATION''' pointing to installation tree is supported
* '''OS''' is one of options returned by <code>virt-install --os-variant list</code>. It allows <code>virt-install</code> to better optimize the VM setup
* specify '''--nodisks''' for VMs running from live media. '''DISKOPTS''' is a comma-separated list of keys. For file-backed VM disk, you should be fine to specify just <code>path=path/to/file,size=size_in_GB</code>. If you wish to stick with gnome-boxes default VM image location, specify <code>path=~/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/</code>
* specify up to four <code>--video qxl</code> stanzas in order to support multiple monitor on Windows VMs
* number of <code>--redirdev usb,type=spicevmc</code> stanzas limits number of USB devices that can be redirected to the guest OS
<code>virt-install</code> sets up the VM and starts installation. The installation itself is not automatic though.


If you aren't ready to make the jump to Fedora 19, this is the next best thing! Run latest virt packages on Fedora 18 from the virt-preview repo:
== Test Cases ==


http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository
=== New features ===


=== Run Fedora 19 in a VM with nested virtualization ===
* [[QA:Testcase_Spice_file_transfer | Drag and drop file transfer]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Spice_Xspice | Test XSpice]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Spice_html5 | Test use a pure Javascript Spice client]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Spice_virt-viewer_direct_connection_to_oVirt | Direct connection to oVirt/RHEV VMs]]


Do you have a new machine with a ton of ram and storage space, running Fedora 18? Nested virt might be an option!
=== Existing features ===
This allows you to create KVM guests _inside_ a Fedora 19 VM.


# Install the latest virt packages from virt-preview using the instructions above.
* migration
# Install a Fedora 19 guest using one of the test cases below.
# Use virt-manager to 'copy host CPU' for your VM. Boot the VM, install virtualization packages, and verify that nested virt is working by running the following command as root: <br><pre>virt-host-validate</pre>

== How to test? ==
 
High level details on how a contributor can get involved.  This can include (but not limited to):
 
* Areas to target with exploratory testing
* A list of pre-defined test cases to execute
* How to report back results
 
 
== Test Cases ==
 
Provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute.  For other examples, see [[:Category:Test_Cases]].


== Test Results ==
== Test Results ==


Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results. Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions. Here's an example, from a Palimpsest test day:
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla] using this key:
* use '''[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=19&component=spice-gtk spice-gtk]''' component for issues happening on client side
* use '''[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=19&component=spice-server spice-server]''' component for issues happening on virtualization host
* use '''[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=19&component=spice-vdagent spice-vdagent]''' component for guest agent issues
* use '''[https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Spice Freedesktop bugzilla]''' to report issues in spice components used in other distributions
* please specify complete environment: client OS and architecture, client (virt-viewer or spice-html5) version, host OS with qemu-kvm and spice-server versions, guest OS version, guest agent version


If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla] usually for the component [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=13&component=udisks udisks], or [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=13&component=gnome-disk-utility gnome-disk-utility] for bugs in the Palimpsest graphical front end itself. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one. For each test case, use the [[Template:result|result template]] to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

Fedora Test Days
Echo-testing-48px.png
SPICE Test Day

Date 2013-05-30
Time all day

Website Features/Spice
IRC #spice, #fedora-test-day (webirc)
Mailing list spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org


Note.png
Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?[edit]

Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Spice, the protocol to access remote VMs and physical linux systems.

New features[edit]

  • Much improved multi-monitor support, see this blog post for details
  • Xspice: spice server running inside the remote system you're connecting to
  • spice-html5: a client running inside the browser
  • file transfer: ability to copy file from client system to guest/remote system using drag and drop
  • new connection methods for virt-viewer/remote-viewer:
    • using .vv files
    • connecting to oVirt/RHEV-M VMs using ovirt:// URIs (similar to existing virt-viewer qemu:///... invocation)

Existing features[edit]

  • connection to remote VMs
    • optional SSL/TLS encryption
    • optional password or SASL authentication
  • smartcard sharing/remoting
  • clipboard sharing for text and image data, working both ways
  • client-mode mouse (with smooth transition between guest/remote system and client system and rendered instantly)
  • guest/remote system monitor layout
    • arbitrary resolution
    • multiple monitors
  • video remoting
    • detection of video stream
    • sync of audio with video
  • USB redirection
  • migration of VM to another host while VM is running and client stays connected


Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

  • Development
    • Xspice: Jeremy White (jwhite), Alon Levy (alon/alevy/alonlevy)
    • spice-html5: Jeremy White
    • file transfer: Hans de Goede (hansg)
    • connection using ovirt:// URIs: Christophe Fergeau (teuf)
  • Quality Assurance - David Jaša (djasa), Martin Holec (Martix)

What do I need for testing?[edit]

Live CDs[edit]

Live CDs with all required packages installed are provided for this test day. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD.

Client[edit]

client means client program or client OS and environment. Preferred clients for this test day are:

  • virt-viewer or remote-viewer running on top of Fedora 19
  • spice-html5 from Fedora package opened on any of the supported browsers:

You can also use another clients:

  • virt-viewer or remote-viewer run on different OS or version
  • Gnome Boxes
  • virt-manager
  • virt-viewer for Windows. Installers are available for download at project site. Note that USB redirection won't work for you unless you build USBClerk yourself

Don't bother testing these:

  • spicy is a tool used sometimes for testing of some features. Don't expect it to work smoothly, or even work correctly
  • spicec (found in spice-client package on Fedora) is deprecated client that already didn't see any development for quite long time

Host[edit]

host is a machine that hosts virtual machines. When client is about to show a VM display, it connects to qemu process running on the host.

  • you can reuse the host you used for Virtualization Test Day
  • if you don't have the virtualization host yet, follow virtualization test day instructions
  • alternatively, you can use any other spice-capable virtualization host
  • for testing of connecting to oVirt (or RHEV) VMs, you'll need access to a running oVirt (RHEV) setup

Remote system[edit]

A physical or virtual system running Xspice server is called a remote system from now on

Guest system[edit]

Virtualized system is frequently call guest. If you don't have any VM with guest system installed, follow virtualization test day instructions.

The guest system needs add-on software called spice agent installed to make all features fully work:

  • on Fedora, it is provided by spice-vdagent package, installed by default. It should be running from start, too (one spice-vdagentd process and two spice-vdagent processes - one for login manager and one for user session)
  • on Windows, please install Windows Guest Tools from project download page

Quick VM installation[edit]

Gnome Boxes[edit]

Just start Boxes, create a new VM and follow the guide.

virt-install[edit]

virt-install can configure a VM for you including all the subtleties and even start an installation:

virt-install -c SESSION --name NAME --memory MEMORY [--cdrom CDROM|--location LOCATION] --os-variant OS [--disk DISKOPTS|--nodisks] --graphics spice --video qxl [--video qxl] --channel spicevmc --redirdev usb,type=spicevmc [--redirdev usb,type=spicevmc] 

where:

  • local SESSION is qemu:///system for system-wide session of qemu:///session for actual user session (this is what Boxes uses). Refer to libvirt documentation if you wish to install VM on a different hypervisor
  • NAME is VM name
  • MEMORY is memory size in MB
  • a VM can be installed either from CDROM or, for some distributions, LOCATION pointing to installation tree is supported
  • OS is one of options returned by virt-install --os-variant list. It allows virt-install to better optimize the VM setup
  • specify --nodisks for VMs running from live media. DISKOPTS is a comma-separated list of keys. For file-backed VM disk, you should be fine to specify just path=path/to/file,size=size_in_GB. If you wish to stick with gnome-boxes default VM image location, specify path=~/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/
  • specify up to four --video qxl stanzas in order to support multiple monitor on Windows VMs
  • number of --redirdev usb,type=spicevmc stanzas limits number of USB devices that can be redirected to the guest OS

virt-install sets up the VM and starts installation. The installation itself is not automatic though.

Test Cases[edit]

New features[edit]

Existing features[edit]

  • migration

Test Results[edit]

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla using this key:

  • use spice-gtk component for issues happening on client side
  • use spice-server component for issues happening on virtualization host
  • use spice-vdagent component for guest agent issues
  • use Freedesktop bugzilla to report issues in spice components used in other distributions
  • please specify complete environment: client OS and architecture, client (virt-viewer or spice-html5) version, host OS with qemu-kvm and spice-server versions, guest OS version, guest agent version

If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC (#spice at irc.gimp.org) and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one. Please specify your environment in second column as i is in the template For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.
