Hi Sean,

I personally haven't get looked into SPICE yet (it's on my ToDo list),
so can't give in depth help here.  Looking at the error that you mention
though, it seems like things aren't even listening for connections.

Have you looked inside the /etc/libvirt/ directory for configuration files
that might be relevant.  It's probably the first place to start, and from
memory I kind of think I've seem mention of SPICE and ports in there.

It *might* just be a matter of enabling something and restarting stuff.
(hopefully) :)

Regards and best wishes,
