[SOLVED] Configuring Spice (Windows 10 guest, Debian host)

[Lionel]

Hello,

I recently installed a Debian VM, and I'd like to use Spice to obtain dual monitor view.

- On my Windows 10 machine (my guest), I installed VirtViewer.
- On my VM (Debian 9.5), I installed spice-vdagent, and xserver-xorg-video-qxl, I ran the cmd "systemctl enable spice-vdagentd", I stoped the VM, changed the settings of the VM and chose "SPICE dual monitor" in the Display line, and start again the VM.

Now I try to connect to the VM using VirtViewer (spice://192.168.1.178:5900) but I receive an error mentioning that the client didn't succeed to connect to the display server - Connection refused by host.

Is there any additional step that I forgot to follow?

Thanks in advance!

Edit : hum I succeded to connect using the dropdown menu in Proxmox VE under Console tab.

Lionel

The regular way is pointed out in the proxmox gui wiki:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Graphical_User_Interface
Look in the chapter guests. (you start the spice session from the webgui, not virtviewer)

If you really need to make a direct connection you could follow the link on the bottom of the proxmox spice wiki:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/SPICE

Or perhaps use information and script from this thread:
