[Spice-devel] spice-vdagentd won't start -- missing /dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.spice.0

Ooops.  Retransmitted without the HTML.


Hi Guys,

I can not get /etc/rc.d/init.d/spice-vdagentd to start because of the line

      [ -c $port ] || exit 0    # where "$port" = 
"/dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.spice.0"

in the "start" function.

Problem: I have no "/dev/virtio-ports" directory.  "spice-vdagentd" exits as
it is suppose to.

How do I get "/dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.spice.0" to show up?  What did I
not install?  What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks,
-T
