Hi, How can I connect to console of a VM using spice-client (not xpi addon)? Thanks. -- Rahman Duran Artvin Çoruh Üniversitesi, Bilgi İşlem Daire Başkanlığı a.rahman.duran(a)gmail.com rduran(a)artvin.edu.tr Tel: 0 466 215 10 00 - 1076

[Users] Unable to login into console Spice VNC anyone?
by Brent Bolin 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

About 6 months ago I asked on this list if it was possible to install ovirt on a single host. Thread got long and winded and lost interest. Started looking at the project again about two days ago. What I really didn't understand was using a base Fedora install. Installing vdsm and then installing ovirt engine. So everything is up. Created data center, storage, cluster, host and virtual machine. But I can't get there from here. I can't get console running to configure the booted install. I've tried VNC, Spice, Firefox with spice-xpi plugin. Tried tweaking, turning, touching, swearing @ /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf settings. tls settings. Not even sure if this is the right place to be checking. This is a show stopper.

Hello, Can somebody please tell how i get the activex console working. I installed the ovirt-engine 3.1 on a fedora 17 and used de beta repo. I have 2 ovirt-nodes 3.0. The datacenter is up. When i want to open a desktop vm, i don't get a activex popup and the console will not open, the linux xpi works well. I googled but i can't find a clear answer why it don't work. Thanks in advance.

[Users] GNOME Boxes/oVirt integration

--u/L2/WlOHZg+YGU4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hey, I've blogged yesterday about the recent work I've done to add oVirt support to GNOME Boxes ( https://live.gnome.org/Boxes/ ) using oVirt REST API: http://cfergeau.blogspot.fr/2012/07/outside-boxes.html =AB Outside Boxes oVirt Let's start this post with a quick presentation of oVirt (you'll understand why in a few paragraphs...). oVirt is a free project providing management, monitoring and provisioning of KVM virtual machines on multiple hosts. It comes with a web interface to create and manage virtual machines, hypervisor nodes, storage, ... and with a user portal for those who just want to connect to an already existing virtual machine. The way the user portal works is that you log into the portal from your browser, then you choose the virtual machine you want to connect to, and a browser plugin will take over and spawn an external binary (these days it's remote-viewer) oVirt also comes with an extensive REST API which lets you do programmatically the same thing as you can do from oVirt web UIs. Moreover, it has an extensive documentation. But what about GNOME? And now we are finally coming as to why I'm talking about all of this :) Lately, I've been hacking on Boxes, and since one of its goals is to view, access, and use shared connection / machine, I've decided it would be fun to make it support oVirt connections! This would make it easier for Boxes users to connect to oVirt virtual machines without having to go through their browser. librest already provides a good low-level GObject library to access REST services (though it was missing authentication support), so I used it to build a higher level library which wraps the oVirt REST accesses: libgovirt. This library uses GObject and gobject-introspection, which gives bindings to several other languages for free (including vala which is needed for Boxes). It also provides asynchronous methods for all its remote operations. The library is still young and only implements the few REST operations I needed (list oVirt virtual machines, get VM connection details, generate temporary VM display password, ...), but this is enough for Boxes needs ;) Once this library was in good shape, using it in Boxes was quite easy as the existing code was modular enough. All I had to do was to add a new URI type (ovirt://), and add a new Machine subclass to handle oVirt VMs, but most of the work is done by the libgovirt library. This work is not yet merged upstream but can be seen in my personal git repository. After some small cleanups and a libgovirt release, it should be in good shape for an upstream review and integration. As for libgovirt, there is a lot of API to bind (help welcome!), but binding this new 3.1 API will be mandatory to be able to connect to all oVirt-managed VMs. One possible way forward for libgovirt would be to leverage the python oVirt REST binding generator from ovirt-engine-sdk. And before ending this blog post, mandatory screenshots! =BB Cheers, Christophe --u/L2/WlOHZg+YGU4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlAOZ5wACgkQJKRp+3pW944KswCeN3JIWIIBDX/0YuYtqLLe6BA8 f48AoMgpFbDDgMvAW2ZCaTgHJWAdMTrx =D3V1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --u/L2/WlOHZg+YGU4--
