The problem I´m having is with Win7/IE. It does however work to get spice console in the admin portal, strangely enough, but we won´t allow our customers using the admin portal just to get access to their consoles. I would like to have it work with Windows/IE in Userportal as well. >>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> the commit is "user portal: ...", so i'm kind of surprised. >>>>>>>> are you sure its not another issue? >>>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> I never said it was that specific issue, David Jaša did.

Please don't forget to set SPICEX_DEBUG_LEVEL=0 environment variable, without it, the log won't be much useful. > > Right. So how do I set "SPICEX_DEBUG_LEVEL=0"? From top of my head get to Advanced System Settings (7) or Computer Properties (XP), Advanced? tab and there towards the bottom is "Environment Variables" button. Add new global variable, name is SPICEX_DEBUG_LEVEL, value i 0.
