I give up. I have Googl'ed my fingers off on this one. How
do I install the virtio serial device in my guest with virt-manager?
I see serial devices to add, but what type and what is the
path to the device? Am I even looking at the right serial devices?
The serial device should appear in other devices (along with the cpus)
in device manager. There is a link for a driver on the dowload page of
spice:
http://spice-space.org/download.html
under "Windows binaries:", current link is
http://spice-space.org/download/binaries/virtio-serial_20110725.zip
which looks relatively recent.
I don't remember the upstream location for the drivers, I'll try to
find it and update, but I think those should be good, let me know if
they aren't.
Note that this is not the serial device you should also have in the vm,
i.e. COM1, but a different device.

Hi Alon,
I must be missing something. For starters, I have
no /dev/virtio-ports
directory.
I also must be blind too, as I can not find an "other devices" in my
virt-manager.
Please forgive the picture, but this is what I see:
virt-manager
This is so frustrating. What am I doing wrong?
It seems to me that your version of virt-manager doesn't know about
spice channel yet, so I suggest you to add it to libvirt configuration
via CLI - run 'virsh edit $YOUR_VM_NAME' and add spicevmc channel to
devices list as described here:
http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementCharChannel
Once you add it, you should see the channel in virt-manager, too.
Hi David,
I am confused. Any change you can show me an example? Are you
running Virtio-serial on your machine? Can you show me what yours
looks like?
Many thanks,

HTH,
