Hi, I have just tested ovirt VNC console (.vv file) with remote-viewer  and it works.

Ensure that you have acees to hosts' ports 5900-5999 , as this is the VNC port.

Otherwise you can configure noVNC, but it requires port 6100 (based on memory).

Hello Strahil and thank you for your reply.

Virt-viewer is installed but mozilla is trying to open the console.vv by remote-viewer. In my understanding virt-viewer and remote-viewer are somewhat the same? (Remote-viewer usin virt-viewer) Should I access the VM's console from the ternimal? I have tried changing the VM's graphics type from spice to spice+vnc but still nothing. All I get is a blank window and a message stating that it cannot access the graphic server.

Thanks again for your help.

You need virt-viewer installed on your ubuntu or change console type to spice.

Hello all,

I'm having an issue the past couple of days. I have tried anything I could find to solve this but with no success.

I have a three node ovirt installation, glustered, hyperconverged and there i have a few VMs. The installation is for experimental reasons before we merge it in our DC. Anyway, though I can connect to the VMs' console from Fedora and Windows, I can't from Ubuntu.

I have tried installing the browser-spice-plugin that's the corresponding package to spice-xpi and I got no results.

I purged the browser-spice-plugin and then I installed the spice-client package, downloaded the spice-xpi from Fedora (FC19) (as instructed in https://www.ovirt.org/develop/infra/testing/spice.html),  copied the libnsISpicec.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and made sure that xserver-xorg-video-qxl and spice-vdagent were installed and in their latest version, and still nothing.

No matter what I have tried, I can't gain access to the console. No matter the browser I use, the message I get is "Unable to connect to the graphic server /tmp/mozilla_msouval0/console-1.vv".

I have checked the logs and couldn't find anything useful, maybe I'm not checking the right logs?
I run tcpdump on both the node the VM is being hosted and the Ubuntu machine I'm using and though on the UBuntu I capture a few packets (6) on both sides but on the Ubuntu side there were 15 packets received by the filter.

Could you please guide towards the right way to solve this? Could this be an ntp problem?

ovirt node version: 4.2.3.1
Workstation: Jessie

(I thought maybe Jessie was too old, and I run the same steps from Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04, but the problem still remains)

Thank you in advance for any help.
Maria
