[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#807482: spice_session_set_shared_dir: assertion 'dir != NULL' failed

[wim]

Package: virt-viewer
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: normal

Hallo,

As root:
using virsh to start a domain,
and then using virt-viewer to connect to the domain:
i always get this message (several times) 
"GSpice-CRITICAL **: spice_session_set_shared_dir: assertion 'dir != NULL' failed"
eg:
$virsh start debian-vm
$virt-viewer debian-vm

Another, possibly unrelated bug, but i mention it here as i didn't find any other hints in logs or online:
the keyboard sometimes is not shareable/(automatically switchable) between host and domain(vm);
the only solution then is to explicitely use the mouse and (de)select the usb device (ie the keyboard)

hth,
Wim
