RHBA-2019:2309 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An update for spice-streaming-agent is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The spice-streaming-agent runs on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtual Machine (VM) that has a GPU/vGPU device assigned. Assigning a GPU/vGPU device to a VM allows users to perform graphical operations directly on the device.

The spice-streaming-agent uses the GPU/vGPU device to capture the display and send a video stream remotely to a SPICE client using qemu-kvm and spice-server.

Note that different GPU/vGPUs require separate plugins that are not included in this package.

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 Release Notes linked from the References section.

Users of spice-streaming-agent are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
