Yes, this is a workaround for us after upgrading to 4.0. I know it's going away in 4.1 but this buys us some time.
So the first option didn't work b/c like yous aid, it wasn't there. So we did the second step and it still didn't seem to work. We even tried restarting ovirt but that didn't help either. Any other ideas?
Looking at the code it also set the default mode to 'native' instead of plugin. After you set the flag to true and restarted the engine, do you see the 'plugin' option when you right click on a running VM in webadmin and select console options? It should be under Console Invocation

Yes we are trying to get spice working on a thin client where we can't use virt-viewer. I just don't know the steps in the bugzilla to accomplish it as it's not completely clear.
Okay gotcha, Note in 4.1 this ability will be completely removed, the bugzilla is for cases where people need it in some kind of production environment.
Assuming you can ssh into the machine that is running the engine (either HE or standard engine) as root:
engine-config -s EnableDeprecatedClientModeSpicePlugin=true
If that doesn't work because the option was not added to engine-config (couldn't tell from reading the code). Try this:
sudo su postgres --this will log you in as the postgres user psql -d engine --this will start psql connecing to the engine database. The default will be --engine if you didn't specify something else during engine- setup. psql -l --will list all the databases. update vdc_options set option_value=true where option_name='EnableDeprecatedClientModeSpicePlugin';

That bugzilla relates to the legacy spice.xpi FF plugin, and possibly some activex plugin for IE. The current way is the following:
1. Get virt-viewer for your platform. 2. Associated virt-viewer with .vv files in your browser. 3. Click the button, which will download the .vv file with the appropriate ticket. 4. The browser will launch virt-viewer with the .vv file as a
parameter
and it should just all work.
Where do you set vdc_options.EnableDeprecatedClientModeSpicePlugin to 'true'?? I see it says ENGINE_DB but what steps do I follow to do this? Can someone help me? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
