When I start a VM inside virt-manager (virt-viewer) I get this error:

'/usr/bin/kvm-spice': No such file or directory 

how should I install kvm-spice? It was there before, somehow it is gone

1 Answer

It's a symlink to /usr/bin/kvm:

file /usr/bin/kvm-spice /usr/bin/kvm-spice: symbolic link to kvm 

Can just recreate it: ln -s kvm /usr/bin/kvm-spice It's part of qemu-kvm:

dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/kvm-spice qemu-kvm: /usr/bin/kvm-spice 

So you can also try reinstalling this package: apt-get install --reinstall qemu-kvm
