Hi all!

Im trying to spice working so i can view vms console..

I have gotten it working on my windows 7 maschine but not my Kubuntu 12.04.. :(...

Accroding to the poxmox doku the driver should be installed .. I have run apt-get install virt-viewer but the version it installed was a 0.4.something..

How do i do this on my Kubuntu client? im using chrome

THANKS

Click to expand...

you need virt-viewer 0.5.6 minimum, to try to find a backported package or update to kutbuntu 13.10
 
13.10 works here.

Just to note, virt-viewer works and also icedtea browser plugin just from the default repos, great.
 
so installed my Kubuntu to version 13.10 and indeed it lifted my virt-viewr but only to version 5.4 ...

any ideas?

AH!!

i was only running version 13.04 ...apparently i had to add a repo before my upgrade command would install 13.10... and now my virt-viewer is .0.5.6..

but now i have another problem.. so open the spice file with virt-viewer and when i do this i get this error..

Unable to connect to libvirt with URI [none]

any ideas?

THANKS

I have the same issue "Unable to connect to libvirt with URI [none]". I am running OpenSuSE 12.3 and installed the following rpm from the factory. The browser is launching using "application/x-virt-viewer".

http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/virt-viewer-0.5.7-4.1.x86_64.rpm



I also tried downloading the spiceproxy file and manually passing it to virt-viewer and remote-viewer.

virt-viewer spiceproxy

virt-viewer < spiceproxy

cat spiceproxy | virt-viewer

remote-viewer spiceproxy

remote-viewer < spiceproxy

cat spiceproxy | remote-viewer



I have not been able to test this on Linux, but in Windows when I access a VM with spice and the virt-viewer/remote-viewer window has focus, even when full screen, alt + tab does not switch apps in the VM. Is this an issue with spice or the setting in proxmox?


Thank you,
