The problems is that, from a web gui point of view, the settings in 2. are
already in place... ;-) but not honored.. is because of this that I asked
about database manipulation...
I could instead change the console parameters and set them to cirrus/vnc
and see if they work after shutdown and restart of engine VM and in a
second time change again to qxl/spice and see if they are honored then...
What do you think?
You can do that.
But I still think that setting to qxl/spice should work In first round without
setting to cirrus/vnc first, since the "
Graphics protocol" is currently set to "None
"
and not "spice" AFAIR (as displayed in general sub tab).
If it is set to "None", then after the settings in (2) you will be notified
with a pop-up displaying the following:
"Changes that require Virtual Machine restart: graphicsProtocol"
and after a restart both devices should be added.
