The newly released Virt-Viewer 0.6.0 Does not appear to work with Proxmox on either a Linux or Windows Client.
Virt-Viewer 0.6.0
- Thread starter tlhenning2525
- Start date
Another reason why we need a more open solution like novnc. If the console requires anything other than a web browser and is not OS dependent, its a bad design.
interesting, but I think not hot now, there are alternatives, and since pve is more server oriented and many other system component are still missing (see wiki roadmap)...
but:
- does novnc have multimonitor support?
- how comparable are performances (tested)?
- any licence issue?

no, like the Java current solution
slower than java, but usable if you need to change some setup, fix something, etc, the "administration" tasks. Is not intended as a VDE solution

The issue we are raising is NOT to drop spice, is to change java nightmare with novnc. Novnc is currently used by many other Foss cloud or virtualization projects, is not a "jump in the dark". Don't know if can also be simply added as a 3° option (spice, javavnc and novnc), but java gave me a lot of problems so far that I'm very happy if we drop it asap.
I'd be interested in trialling that.
I tried out the 32 & 64 bit vs of Spice Client 0.60 today - no issues att all. Perhaps the 32 bit binary has been updated.
Why in the world would multi-monitor need to be supported? Java and Spice console sessions should really only be needed as system installation and troubleshooting and occasional system access. If you are using it as your full time interface for interacting with a system, you are definitely doing things wrong in my opinion.
I use OSX and Chrome OS. I have to use Firefox in order to use java (which I would prefer not to have java even installed) as it wont work with 32 bit browsers like Chrome and no proper working spice client out of the box either. Chrome OS (I have a Chromebook) has no java support and no spice client.

the reason why we do not choose novnc is simple. SPICE is better suited for the needs of the majority here.
of course, someone can focus on the minority of use cases and OS types, e.g. Chrome OS, but why?
Also, I would prefer the spice html5 client, because that way we only need to support one protocol (spice).
The reasoning is simple: provide both options, since spice requires in any case additional software installed (the spice viewer), while novnc is always available.
So we could use spice when it works, and novnc for any other situation, very very handy.
I think that having something that works in a very wide range of situation is paramount for a sysadmin, while having ALSO a higher performance solution (spice) is very good.

me too, is not that I love vnc, is that I love not depending from other software/plugins/whatever can go wrong.
I've found a couple of links, but seems nothing fully working yet, so novnc could be a "transitional" solution OMHO

@mmenaz, perhaps dietmar pointed out the perfect "all in one" solution (I didn't know about this)

Any update on when that HTML5 Viewer option will be included with Proxmox and able to be launched from the proxmox interface? Obviously not expecting a date, but is it being planned and/or actively worked on?
