Proxmox SPICE

[dqq]

Hi,

I would like to use my Windows VM with spice.
Host on which SPICE client will be running is also windows.


I would like to know how to run Windows SPICE client with proxmox generated configuration file.

You need a valid ticket for the SPICE proxy, this ensures only people with valid credentials can get through.

This can be either achieved by opening the Proxmox VE webinterface and clicking the SPICE Console button for a VM.

Else an example how to automatically query such a ticket through the API can be viewed here:

It's in bash though, so not an option for Windows, just a FYI.

@t.lamprecht I managed to connect to SPICE, but still I do have weird behaviours with mouse support. Mouse is jumpy and unpredictable, often it just goes very fast along borders and is almost unpredictable. Can it be somehow fixed/tweaked?

I think you are using the novnc web console and spice graphics. if yes this is a known problem. if you use spice graphics then you have to have the connection using the spice remoteviewer downloaded from virt-manager website and your vm guest should be running the spice client drivers and the tools.
if you are running windows in the VM you need the following.
https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe

if you are running windows/linux in the client from where you are connecting to the VM - you need to have the remote-viewer - get it from http://virt-manager.org/download

now your spice console should work like a charm using the virt remote-viewer (dont use novnc console for spice graphics)
hope this helps
