<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000099"> Hi everyone, Using the latest spice-guest-tools-0.2.exe it still sometimes happens (~10% of the time) that the vdagent does not start when the Windows 7 guest is started. It was previously suggested here that I would try to start it manually. As can be seen in the log files below, this does not work. To the untrained eye it would appear that the vdagent starts normally but that it is actually the vdservice that fails. Below is the vdagent.log. The 832 entries are from the initial boot. The entry after that is when I tried to restart the service. 832::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::run::***Agent">INFO::,000::run::***Agent</a> started in session 1*** 832::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::log_version::0.5.1.0">INFO::,000::log_version::0.5.1.0</a> 832::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::consistent_displays::#qxls">INFO::,000::consistent_displays::#qxls</a> 0 #others 1 832::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::connect_pipe::Connected">INFO::,000::connect_pipe::Connected</a> to service pipe 832::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::Sending">INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::Sending</a> capabilities: 832::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::37">INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::37</a> 832::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::input_desktop_message_loop::Desktop">INFO::,000::input_desktop_message_loop::Desktop</a>: Winlogon 832::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::read_completion::vdservice">INFO::,000::read_completion::vdservice</a> disconnected (109) 832::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::run::Agent">INFO::,000::run::Agent</a> stopped 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::run::***Agent">INFO::,000::run::***Agent</a> started in session 1*** 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::log_version::0.5.1.0">INFO::,000::log_version::0.5.1.0</a> 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::consistent_displays::#qxls">INFO::,000::consistent_displays::#qxls</a> 0 #others 1 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::connect_pipe::Connected">INFO::,000::connect_pipe::Connected</a> to service pipe 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::Sending">INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::Sending</a> capabilities: 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::37">INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::37</a> 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::input_desktop_message_loop::Desktop">INFO::,000::input_desktop_message_loop::Desktop</a>: Default 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::input_desktop_message_loop::First">INFO::,000::input_desktop_message_loop::First</a> display setting 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::load::loading">INFO::,000::load::loading</a> display setting 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::reload_from_registry::explorer">INFO::,000::reload_from_registry::explorer</a> pid 1784 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::reload_wallpaper">INFO::,000::reload_wallpaper</a>:: 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::reload_wallpaper::wallpaper">INFO::,000::reload_wallpaper::wallpaper</a> wasn't disabled 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::reload_font_smoothing">INFO::,000::reload_font_smoothing</a>:: 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::reload_font_smoothing::font">INFO::,000::reload_font_smoothing::font</a> smoothing value didn't change 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::reload_animation">INFO::,000::reload_animation</a>:: 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::reload_win_animation">INFO::,000::reload_win_animation</a>:: 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::reload_win_animation::reload">INFO::,000::reload_win_animation::reload</a> window animation: success 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::reload_ui_effects">INFO::,000::reload_ui_effects</a>:: 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::reload_ui_effects::UserPreferencesMask">INFO::,000::reload_ui_effects::UserPreferencesMask</a> = 80073e9e 12 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::read_completion::vdservice">INFO::,000::read_completion::vdservice</a> disconnected (109) 1552::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::run::Agent">INFO::,000::run::Agent</a> stopped The corresponding (I think) vdservice.log is attached below.
