SPICE connect time out. No firewall. Same network.

[mainprog]

I've tried to connect to my VMs using SPICE.
But getting that thing:

c:\Users\alex\Downloads>"C:\Program Files\VirtViewer\bin\remote-viewer.exe" --debug spiceproxy.vv

When I check tcpdump on server I see packets in both directions.

 

[mainprog]

When running proxy in debug I see that:

If you're using PVE spice console, beware that this has a ticket based access system, which expires very soon.
You won't be able to connect permanently using thos .vv files you downloaded.
Their intended use is: open them with spice viewer, not download and store them as a permament way to conenct to vm.

To do that, you must install spice server into your vm (not windows, of course, use rdp for that).

I know that You have 30 sec.
If file is expired you will get an error about ticket.

So I was doing download file and connecting immediately.


Thank you for your answer.

I am using SPICE from Proxmox UI.
Debug I've made to have some additional info.
In general when I click the SPICE button I am getting error that viwer can not connect to graphical server.

 

[mainprog]

I don't undetsnad how to use that feature from the box?
SPICE is broken in Proxmomx 3.1?

 

[m.ardito]

well no, afaict, it is working really simply for me, at least from win7x64sp1, virt-viewer 0.5.7 x64.

I'm sorry but I don't know how to debug...

perhaps you could
- updating pve packages (who knows)
- ask the spice/virt-viewer people... perhaps try to show them logs...
- try a standard physical spice server, and debug connection to that (excluding pve)

What guests do you use? I think you need to have support in the guests for using spice. Installing resent linux distributions works since the all come with support for spice. In windows however, you need to install spice guest tools -> http://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-0.65.1.exe

in my cluster spice works great with wheezy vm, with windows worked even without guest tools (i recently installed those to get clipboard sharing, that was missing)

I am using Centos 6.

 

[mir]

You cannot use the version of remote viewer in centos 6. You need at least version 0.57.

 

[m.ardito]

i thought centos was the guest... and the viewer on win7x64 ? right?

Yes
Centos is guest.

My system is Win7.

I know it's an old thread, but as it does fit best...

I try to connect to spice, but no luck. So far: I've set up Proxmox VE 5.1 new today just as shipped from setup ISO (just in case there was a bug in my test installation). I've set up a Windows 7 professional x64 VM with virtio and switched graphic card to spice. Within Windows VM I can see there is a Red Hat QXL GPU, so I think I got the VM part correct.
But Proxmox does not open a spice console when clicking the default Console link, but opens a noVNC console.
If using the spice console link, I get the ticket downloaded and opened in virt_viewer, but the connection is not established. Debug:

"c:\Program Files\VirtViewer v6.0-256\bin\remote-viewer.exe" --debug UkkQJnWr.vv

(remote-viewer.exe:9244): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find signal handler 'virt_viewer_window_menu_change_cd_activate'. Did you compile with -rdynamic?

(remote-viewer.exe:9244): virt-viewer-DEBUG: Destroy SPICE channel SpiceMainChannel 0
(remote-viewer.exe:9244): virt-viewer-DEBUG: zap main channel

I can see the attempt to connect in /var/log/pveproxy/access.log, however, I don't ever see a real connection.

Sure I make some mistakes, but...?

Should the Proxmox host be available via spice? In fact, the spice option is available, but here too, no connection is established ("Socket I/O timed out").

I have to admit, that I do not have a valid subscription yet, as I do only use Proxmox in private and as a fun project, but I couldn't find a hint that this would cause spice not to work.

 

[blindrain]

I have this same issue.
