Hi Strahil -
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it is not helpful. The spice agent is already installed on the guest, and the spice channel is already configured.
[bgee@practice21a ~]$ rpm -qa | grep spice spice-vdagent-0.20.0-3.fc33.x86_64
A question occurs to me ... The working guest also has both the spice-vdagent package and the spice channel. Why does it work and the other guest does not?
