Remote Spice access *without* using web manager
- Thread starter blackpaw
- Start date
The wiki states it is the minimum version for Linux.
Can you please indicate what is the minimum version or at least a version that works with Linux?
I can update the wiki if I know the answer.
Thanks.

Version number is OK - but the binary seems to be compiled without spice support.
No I can not.
I get:
This is why I am trying to get this to troubleshoot this.
I did compile virt-viewer from source and included the spice option.

I used Mint 15 - Olivia 64-bit: http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=135 kept up-to-date with apt-get update and apt-get upgrade regularly.

Compiling virt-viewer from source is not an easy task and requires a lot of knowledge. Especially on Mint 15 since you will have to compile some of the dependent libraries from source as well. Best advice is to follow Tom's advice at upgrade to Mint 16.
Awesome. Just what I needed.
The script works for me using Fedora thin client.
I can really work my way up easily getting a locked down full screen kiosk mode from here.

This is my python 3.4 script for proxmox 3.x and 4.x
I hope it helps.

getDATA(username,password,server)Hi, I tried to execute this script on linux mint, but it fails in the substitution statement:
Code:
TICKET=${DATA//"/}Any idea?
Its missing a backslash, use this script: https://gitlab.com/snippets/32412 (copied from above untested).
I had lots of difficulties with the scripts posted here. I wrote my own bash-script by using the command line JSON-parser called "jq". It's easy to read and those should be easy to debug in case it doesn't work.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# SETTINGS
#
# Fill the following section with your prefered settings.
# Leaving the password field empty is much more secure. It will be prompted on the command line.
# Alternatively create a Proxmox user with limited privileges like shown in this template.

remote-viewer $TMP &ramza - thanks for the script. works great. For anyone else reading this, make sure NODE= matches your proxmox node name in the web UI. I initially had NODE set to the FQDN of the Proxmox server, which is not correct in my case. My Proxmox node is just the short hostname. After making that change the script worked fine.
Thanks for this great discussion! I went ahead and implemented a Java version of the bash script mentionned above. It works on Linux and Windows (not tested Mac). Since I'm a new user, I can't post the link, it's the repo "proxmox-client" of the Github user "kalsan"
I'm happy about any feedback.
