Bug Description

hi,

I've installed gnome-boxes on an Ubuntu 13.10 Gnome Edition 64bit with AMD-V enabled. Everytime I try to run the application from terminal receive always this error:

gnome-boxes: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libspice-client-gtk-3.0.so.4: undefined symbol: gdk_broadway_window_get_type

everyone have met or resolved this type of error on gnome-boxes.

thanks al lot for the support

Hi, thanks for reporting :)

Could you please join Ubuntu GNOME QA Sub-Team and share the link of this bug with our team?

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Testing

I doing use that so can't confirm whether it affects me or not. I hope someone else is using the same and that is why I am suggesting to use the mailing list of Ubuntu GNOME QA :)

Thank you for choosing and testing Ubuntu GNOME!

We also need help to test Ubuntu GNOME Trusty (14.04) so it would be great if you could join the QA/Testing Team :)

Back to your issue, I do need to check that on my Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 installation. I am currently testing Trusty :)

I shall report back and hopefully get something useful :)

Thank you!

P.S.
Our Developers might need more information but that is for them to decide if needed.

Downgrading the libspice-client-gtk-3.0-4 package to version 0.20-0nocelt3 fix the error and gnome-boxes starts.

@Guillaume Hain (zedtux) how did you make that? I've try to reinstall that but on gnome's repositories found the same version (0.21-0nocelt4), thanks

the command to resolve that is

sudo apt-get install libspice-client-gtk-3.0-4=0.20-0nocelt3

and this one to clean eventuality packages no more used

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

Yeah, forcing 0.21-0nocelt2~saucy1 back to 0.20-0nocelt3 fixes this for me. Does gnome-boxes need a rebuild against 0.21?
