Hi All,

Is this a pop up blocker issue?

As we have a corp browser policy to contend with.

Thanks!
 
Spoke to soon - Virt Viewer not working for me in Windows.
Actually this used to work without any additional software - why has it stopped?
 
Steps to change default Console Viewer to noVNC:
1. Click on Datacenter
2. Click on Options
3. Double click on Console Viewer to edit it (or select it and click on edit)
4. Select "HTML5 (noVNC)"

It's easier to simply change the Display device in the VM to "standard", so the default noVNC viewer is used. Makes no sense to me to use a SPICE display if you are not going to use the proper client to make use of it. And if you need to access the console of the VM from a PC that doesn't have the client, simply pick noVNC from the console dropdown when connectig.
