Hi,

I already start a conversation in another thread, but, I start here a clean one because I'm sure that other people will face the same problems and all threads about SPICE do not refer to PROXMOX 3.2

So Hardware/Software

PROXMOX 3.2 upgraded form 3.1 that was working like a charm (only must have missing feature for me was the full screen console)
VM : W7 64Bit (like the video tranning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thVmhIw4-jU)
machine that connect to proxmox : W7 64bit
No linux no where

First problem :

After installing
on my machine, the only browser capable to run the spice console without any modification or custom configuration is Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer dose not support the virt-viwer by default

IE 8,9 : do not react
Chrome : download a VV file and do not open the viwer directly like Firefox

So if any one knows how to point Chrome directly to the virt-viewer please post it here

Second problem is about network

on my local network https://192.168.1.XXX:8006 when I open SPICE (with Firefox) it's work fine, I have my sooo waited full screen support

on external network https://108.XXX.XXX.XXX:8006 the VNC console work fine as usual, BUT : unfortunately the SPICE console shows Unable to connect to graphic server

I'm happy to hear from you and ready to provide you as many information as you want

regards
Mhamed

I also observed that here. The problem was that windows file type association was not set up correctly.

After associating .vv files with remove-viewer everything works as expected.
 
I use Chrome exclusively and my Spice works fine.

As Dietmar suggested, you need to associate the vv with the virt viewer application

I use chrome on linux mint (ubuntu) and the file which is downloaded when selecting the spice button has no .vv extension, it is just called 'download' and since there is no extension it is hard to associate it with chrome. On Firefox it does work correctly.

Any pointers on how you did this? I can't get it to work on either Firefox or Chrome. I'm also on an Ubuntu desktop.
Chrome wants to download the file "download" Firefox ask me to download the file "EBAx1nMR".

Hello, i use also (k)Ubuntu and Chrome. I was able do configure chrome that after it download the spicefile an klick on it, that virt-viewer open the VM. But is there any opportunity to get it working like in firefox? So that it directly opens?

Thanks a lot

I was under the impression that that is what's required. What a difference a single word can make :D Chrome lets xdg-open determine the default application. So either write a new entry in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mimeapps.list or add a respective entry in the spice-viewer.desktop file. Details here.
 
Ok, this is interesting, i've checked the. The entry exists:
Code: 
[Added Associations]
application/x-virt-viewer=remote-viewer.desktop;
[Default Applications]
application/x-virt-viewer=remote-viewer.desktop;
