Re: [Users] Blank VM Install Console

This time I tried to use "spice html5 browser client". I downloaded the cert from http://<my-engine>/ovirt-engine/ca.crt. This time the console window " spice javascript client" showed up in the firefox (24.2.0) but it stays gray. Nothing can be seen. So what else am I missing here?
