I'm not sure what you mean by issues - bugs reported against Q will
definately be addressed.  The qemu versions in Q are basically set
in stone.  If you need features added, then indeed that won't happen
in Q at this point.

Spice protocol but many of the how-to's and PPA's are heavely out of
date / support. Would you have any advice, as manyally building the
protocol isn't working for me

What do you mean by manually building the protocol?

In Q, I've been doing:

sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm-spice
qemu-img create spice.img 10G
kvm-spice -cpu host -enable-kvm -m 1024 -M pc-1.2 -drive file=spice.img,if=virtio,cache=none -vga qxl -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing

(except also using tap bridged to eth0)

It's worked great for ubuntu quantal and fedora 18 guests.

  qemu core dumped by kvm-spice

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in “qemu-kvm-spice” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi there,

  I am trying to use kvm-spice to start the qemu virtual machines. They
  start fine with the /usr/ bin/kvm command, but when I use the kvm-
  spice command the VM will not start and the core is dumped.

  Command I used: 
  kvm-spice -cpu host -enable-kvm -name win-7 -m 3000 -drive file=/var/vmmachines/win-7.img -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -localtime -usb -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -spice port=5901,disable-ticketing -boot d

  Aborted (core dumped)

  
  I am running Ubuntu 12.04 sserver for this. Any information about this issue would be appreciated, i'm stuck on this one.

  Kind regards, 
  Tom
