Hi, did you follow http://wiki.ovirt.org/How_to_Connect_to_SPICE_Console_With_Portal?
Thanks, michal
Ok, I was able to install and run the spice plugin on my system with WIndows 7 (64bit) and Internet Explorer 9 It seems from first tests that it works quite well (tested only with Windows XP VM right now)
I took the time to change two small things on the wiki page: Thanks!
- WEB_INF --> WEB-INF - Changed the note regarding spice servlet this way: NOTE the file web.xml is part of ovirt-engine-backend rpm; in oVirt 3.2 the <servlet> definition for SpiceX.cab is already in place
Also, inside the section regarding portals I noticed that the file /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war/index.html
is different from what written into the wiki... I didn't change it yet, in case you want to retain some sort of 3.1 compatibility... In case let me know and I'll update that too.
I'd go ahead and change it, no need to keep obsolete information
Some notes regarding installation
- added link to spice page in portals main page - click on it - click on button "install spice" - accept activeX install
apparently at this point nothing happened.. I waited a couple of minutes.. no virtviewer entry in allprograms section Then I tried to open a spice console and again I got the message regarding the plugin, accept and then got the install window So now I can click again on spice console button of the vm and spice console fires up...
I'm going to try with another windows 7 (32bit) system and document better...
Note: I also got the " Error: A Request to the Server failed with the following Status Code: 400" window; probably due to the first spice console access that implied true installation of plugin...
Yeah, the download may take quite some time and there's no feedback. Well,I hope people will eventualy give up on IE;) The xpi plugin, MIME file, and HTML5 client would replace ActiveX in the future well enough Thanks, michal
