Problems with Spice Unable to Connect to Graphics Server

[riptide_wave]

Not sure if this helps, but I was able to fix my issue with DNS. I checked syslog after a failed connection, and was seeing the following:

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]Mar 10 08:21:35 C6100-1-N1 spiceproxy[100182]: WARNING: unable to get IP for node 'c6100-1-n4' - node offline?[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]Mar 10 08:21:35 C6100-1-N1 spiceproxy[100182]: problem with client 10.1.6.1; unable to get IP for node 'c6100-1-n4' - node offline?[/FONT][/COLOR]

Which made me realize that spiceproxy is looking up hosts based on domain name, not IP. So I added my nodes to the hostfile, and that fixed my issues.

Hello I found the solution that fix the problem for me:

here the solution: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/145...rface-Problems

There was this message in the syslog:

May 12 16:23:19 proxmox2 pveproxy[3139]: problem with client 192.168.10.92; ssl3_read_bytes: tlsv1 alert unknown ca
May 12 16:23:19 proxmox2 pveproxy[3139]: WARNING: Can't call method "on_read" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/HTTPServer.pm line 155.

I ran the following command:

pvecm updatecerts --force

and after a reboot Spice start to work Bye Sergio

Same error here.

But i do some test: it works on ubuntu trusty 64bit and works on windows 7 32bit OS. But did not work on windows 7 64bit OS. I tested virt-viewer-x64-0.6.0.msi, virt-viewer-x86-0.6.0.msi, virt-viewer-x64-0.5.7.msi and virt-viewer-x86-0.5.7.msi on win7 64bit. None of them worked.

Clean proxmox 3.2 install. No firewall issue (because ubuntu and 32bit win7 work), and if i tcpdumped the the 61000 port on proxmox, i see some packets.

What sould i do to hunt down this bug?

I also must mention there is still exactly the same bug when using Proxmox VE 4.0 Beta-26 with Firefox and Opera browsers in Windows 7 x64 and with VirViewer 2.0 (both x86 and x64). If the one start spice console in FF in Win 7 x86 or CentOS 7 x64 remote desktop appears to start up ok.

I've tcpdumped the packets of those conversations between the pve host and client's browser. So here they are.

1. The packets recorded between pve machine and CentOS7 box:

**************************************************

**********************************************

Here the one can see that after connection to the web port 8006 a new connection (redirection) is coming up to the spiceproxy port 3128. And that's it. The Spice console successfully launched with remote desktop of the spice VM!

2. If the one tries to do that while sitting in Windows 7 x64 the result will be unsuccessful because there won't be a redirection to the spiceproxy port 3128 absolutely rather than the only one 8006 port. We always see an error message with "I/O Timeout".

Please fix this very inconvenient bug!



The below is a good spice connection from Win7x86 client to Fedora 23 deskop VM:

The same problem. The versions are:

virt-viewer x64-7.0 on Win7 x64
Proxmox VE 5.2-1

Thanks.

What should I do?

please upgrade your packages, there was a bug which prevented the use of remote-viewer 7.x

It seems that using SPICE with Proxmox is broken .. I've tried it in the past (years ago) and it didn't work. I just tried it now and it still doesn't work. I have the 3128 port forwarded for IPv4 and a rule for IPv6 to allow and still no dice. It would be helpful if there were some clear instructions on how to get this work.
Error - unable to connect to the graphic server
I've tried it on both Linux and Windows as clients and same response.

Hello,

yes, I also did some failing tests with Spice in the past. It seems to be picky. Then, a few weeks ago I found this:

• https://www.bachmann-lan.de/proxmox-vdi-client/ -- German language, for Windows

It has detailed screenshots for every step. And for me it works as documented. I've tested it on a Win10 Laptop accessing a Windows 10 VM and an Ubuntu Gnome VM.

For Linux I found this similar article:

• https://pythonawesome.com/proxmox-based-vdi-client/ -- English, for Linux

This also works for me. (While I do not remember if I tested Win+Ubuntu I definitely did test accessing one of them on my physical Ubuntu 20.04 Wayland Workstation.)

Just another 2 €¢ - good luck!

 

[CTCcloud]

Thanks UdoB .. anyone have this VDI Client in 32bit for Windows? I have only found the 64bit version so far ...
