Enabling Spice

Did that but I always get (on two different machines) :

Seem that you don't don't have build some dependencies or something like that.

maybe can you try ubuntu 13.10 ? virt-viewer 0.5.6 is available in this version.

for firefox, you need to configure firefox to always open application/x-virt-viewer mime type file. (firefox use an internal mime database)

for chrome, it should use system mime , you should have a file x-virt-viewer.xml in /usr/share/mime/application/x-virt-viewer.xml (it's provided with remote-viewer sources)

I am having the same problem as the OP. I cannot get SPICE to work whatsoever on linux.

I am running ubuntu 13.10 x86_64 with virt-viewer 0.5.6 installed.

Clicking SPICE button when using Chrome, firefox, opera -- does nothing. No download - nothing.

I see no instructions anywhere that explains how to actually add the mime type to firefox. Spirit mentioned above a file '/usr/share/mime/application/x-virt-viewer.xml' that does not exist on my 13.10 Ubuntu install with virt-viewer installed.

libvirtd doesnt appear to be an available service in /etc/init.d or elsewhere that I can tell. But I dont know whats required other than virt-viewer 0.5.6 to get any of this working.

Can anyone help? Any suggests for any linux distro that works? guides or otherwise?

Ubuntu 13.10 with firefox and virt-viewer installed works out of the box here.

as soon as you open a console via Proxmox VE gui, you will get this:
