I'm having a tough time getting a VM console working via VNC. I set a VM to use VNC, and I installed virt-viewer.
1. When I try to open a .vv file with virt-viewer, I get an error "Cannot find guest domain /var/tmp/console.vv" 2. Using a VNC client to connect to the host with the password in the .vv file just immediately disconnects it -- no error message. 3. noVNC just gives me an empty popup with a gray background.
virt-viewer works ok even on my OpenBSD machine at home. First check version, if old, compile/upgrade yourself. Updating to latest spice-gtk, gtk-vnc, virt-viewer recently solved virt-viewer core dumps when I had RHEL with GNOME and qxl driver. j.
