Topic

Updated spice-vdagent packages that add various enhancements are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The spice-vdagent packages provide a SPICE agent for Linux guests.

The spice-vdagent packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.12.0, which
provides a number of enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#842355)

This update adds the following enhancements:

  • The spice-vdagent agent now uses the syslog standard for logging. Syslog

provides previously missing information on time stamps and severity marks of the
logged events. (BZ#747894)

  • With this update, support for dynamic multiple monitors and arbitrary window

resolution has been added to the spice-vdagent agent. (BZ#842298)

All users of spice-vdagent are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which add these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
