HTML5 console viewer.

Hey Guys, do you have any plans of ditching java for html5 console viewer ? It's going to be more pain now when chromium builds don't support java any more so console will not work on maxhton, new opera, and others based on chromium.

no

I guess someone will implement a working java plugin.

hmm. I guess is time to move to oVirt.

there are two working consoles on Proxmox VE.

If you are on Windows OS:
- Java works with Chrome, Firefox, IE11
- Spice works

If you are on Linux:
- Java (icedtea and Oracle Java) works with Firefox (and older chromium based)
- Spice works

If you are on OSX:
- Firefox with Oracle Java works

the current issue is a an issue from Chrome and/or Oracle - not an Proxmox VE fault and not a real problem. Moving away because of this sounds strange to me.

somehow, I guess that could be just a reaction to the "style" of the answer he got.
But I could be wrong.

btw, I know spice has an experimental html5 client (http://www.spice-space.org/page/Html5), and I remember some posts about this...

yes, there is a html5 spice viewer but nothing what we call stable and useable. but we have this one on our radar.
