SPICE USB redirection not working in VMs via virt-manager flatpak

bug

Hey, gang. I can't get USB devices to redirect to VMs anymore via SPICE. I didn't used to have this issue in the old, layered virtualization setup from months ago, but I recently did an

rpm-ostree reset

rpm-ostree reset

and redid the

ujust setup-virtualization

ujust setup-virtualization

after reading that there was a new implementation. I selected both

Enable Virtualization

Enable Virtualization

and

Add $USER to libvirt group

Add $USER to libvirt group

, then rebooted of course. For the virt-manager flatpak install, I selected the system option, not user. I can create and run VMs with the root QEMU/KVM session, but I get the error message in the attached picture when redirecting any USB devices that used to redirect fine. I can manually add some devices as virtual hardware, but not all work this way. Does this have something to do with the virt-manager now being a flatpak? I also noticed that I can no longer connect to the QEMU/KVM User session anymore either.

Solution

upstream issue in the flatpak
works if you use virsh directly from cli
