Unable to use Spice , QXL or Virtio in KVM

Hello, i recently installed Artix with KDE Plasma and Openrc.

I've been struggling to get Spice working in kvm, followed tutorials and installed the packages : qemu-full virt-manager dnsmasq spice-vdagent spice-protocol ebtables vde2 libvirt-openrc bridge-utils openbsd-netcat dmidecode ebtables iptables.

when i select spice as the video server it tells me :

  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 4529, in createXML
    raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: spice graphics are not supported with this QEMU

And when i select QXL or Virtio it tells me :

  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 4529, in createXML
    raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: domain configuration does not support video model 'qxl'

I don't know what i did wrong ? it only works with VNC as display server and VGA.

Hi, sorry for the late response...

So i installed arch,  and then, installed  artix plasma (in a vm using qemu/kvm), and in that VM i tried to install Qemu/KVM  with all the packages i mentioned before and i could use QXL with no problems with alpine linux !

Any ideas where's the problem? i'll try installing artix again in my machine to see if i keep having the same problem.
