Bug Description

I have an UBUNTU server (20.04) with libvirtd installed.
I used to connect to that server using Virt Manager from an UBUNTU desktop (18.04).

Starting today (2021-11-08) the Virt Manager does not shows the screen of the virtual machines.

I added the VNC server to one VM and it worked fine, but the SPICE server is not working.

Hi,
there was no recent update in 18.04 or 20.04 that would seem related.
So I do not have a great suggestion. For the sake of getting some information in case it happens again - was it starting the guest without Spice, or did it have the Spice device but you were only unable to connect to it?

I was unable to connect to the SPICE.
But the SPICE is configured normally.
I can connect with VNC after adding it to the VMs.
The day after SPICE was working again. And i cant figure out what happens in the meantime.
No related update happens those days.

Thanks - that info might be handy if it comes up again or with other reporters.
For now I'll leave it with that, slightly puzzled but hoping it isn't a real global issue.
