CentOS - Sep 2015 - virt-install message regarding Spice and TLS

Is TLS required for the usage of Spice with KVM/libvirtd?

I've been through the virt-install manpage a few times now to no avail.
What is wrong with my syntax here (seen below)?

Thanks.


~]# virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n blahhost -r2048 --vcpus=4
--arch=x86_64 --video qxl --graphics spice,port=5931 --noautoconsole
--os-type linux --accelerate --network=bridge:kickstart_br0 --hvm --disk
path=/dev/vmdisks/fedora-test2,bus=virtio --cdrom /tmp/fedora.iso

Starting install...
ERROR    unsupported configuration: Auto allocation of spice TLS port
requested but spice TLS is disabled in qemu.conf
Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
  virsh --connect qemu:///system start blahhost
otherwise, please restart your installation.

No. I had a similar problem several years back and ended up manually 
removing tlsPort= from /etc/libvirt/qemu/xxx.xml

See if adding tlsport=0 to the --graphics option fixes your problem?

--graphics spice,port=5931,tlsport=0

To also reply to nevis2us:
I have the Spice TLS config commented presently so it is not active (afaik).
At one point I did try switching the value from 1 to 0 when I did have it
uncommented.

I did try that before (though didn't note it in my first message).

ERROR    Error in graphics device parameters: TLS port must be a number
between 5900 and 65535, or -1 for auto allocation

Any other thoughts? :-/
I can't be the only person that wants to use Spice with out TLS for some
testing/labbing. ;-)

Thanks!
