-spice only this argument was specified ? I haven't faced any issue with spice. My termux app version : 0.101

@mjuned47 not only that, but i was using spice audiodev to get good audio quality, here is my argument should look like

-audiodev spice,id=snd0 -soundhw sb16 -spice port=5901,disable-ticketing

then it got errors regarding memslot error

I'm a newbie here, but I realized that my bug report was a duplicate and was sent here. Is qemu spice not working in termux?

I just installed 32-bit Termux app from actions artifacts page. seems QEMU with spice works but not arm64. seems has something to do with it

[Clockiscool1234]

where do you get the termux 32bit app?

[evren320]

i get this error with: qemu-system-i386 -device qxl-vga

Using anything other than qxl-vga works fine

[mjuned47]

I got the same issue , but not on older version of android (10>). And i don't know how to produce log can you help? @xtkoba

I have tested other QEMU guest targets (on arm64 Android 11 host) and they do seem to work fine with SPICE without triggering memslot too big errors with -spice port=5901,disable-ticketing argument.

• qemu-system-riscv(32/64)
• qemu-system-arm(aarch64)

! qemu-system-m68k is untested

But not on

• qemu-system-ppc(64)
• qemu-system-i386(x86_64)

[mjuned47]

I would like to request to developers and pro coders to debug & count down this issue

[zavocc]

I don't think that would help as it is "Labelled Help wanted for a reason"

Maybe reporting this to upstream might help identify the root cause

Can i debug on this in termux to help developer ?

[truboxl]

Any patches that fix the issue are welcomed. You don't have to explicit ask permission to help since the issue is already labelled with help wanted.

Is there any news?

This has something to do with android's libc. Which using qemu spice in proot distros seem to work fine regardless.

Strace output (strace -o logs.txt qemu-system-x86_64 -spice port=5901) in case anyone needs it logs.txt

Looking at the end of the log file, it seems to be related to malloc in bionic libc which causes spice to fail to create a server
