I know spice is used by virt-manager to control virtual machines. Can I use SPICE to do the same thing but over a fast 5ghz local network? I want to control the machine on the other room but I need it to be really fast, so VNC is out of question.

Reading the spice downloads page there are lots of servers and clients, I'm lost. How can I make SPICE work like VNC? Can I also plug USB things in one computer and use them in another?

How can I remote control my hardware Ubuntu desktop with spice, instead of vnc? has no answers

UPDATE: the intent is to use it with virtual machines in a server on the room

  • Please update your question with what you forgot to mention! – user68186 Feb 29 '20 at 20:47
  • Do you already have the Virtual Machine setup? What did you use for that? Adding images also may help. – sancho.s ReinstateMonicaCellio Mar 01 '20 at 10:02
  • @sancho.sReinstateMonica I just installed virt-manager on the host and installed Windows 10 and Ubuntu virtual machines, nothing more – PPP Mar 01 '20 at 15:19
  • SPICE has unfortunately stagnated a bit the last few years. If you don't get very far with it, you might want to give [X2go](https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/start) a look. This is very actively developed. – Robert Riedl Mar 01 '20 at 15:53

This is probably ok for a comment, but being too long, I post it as an answer.

A long time ago, I recall dealing with a Spice server in Ubuntu. I am now looking for a few sources that you may check.

This is one I remember reading http://learn.linksprite.com/pcduino/desktop-visualization/install-spice-server-on-a-ubuntu-12-04-server-and-create-virtual-machine-to-be-used-with-pcduino3s-as-client/

These are others, with a varying degree of relevance. Some are related to Spice as a client.
