Ah, misunderstanding


Cockpit's healtchard will now show warning when the system was shutdown uncleanly.

## Machines: New virtual machines don't get SPICE graphics anymore

Cockpit used to add both VNC and SPICE graphics when creating new virtual machines. Now only VNC graphics are added. We have made this change since Cockpit itself does not benefit from SPICE graphics and we think that opening the SPICE port for a running machine should be intentional on part of the user and not happen silently and surprisingly.
