Re: [Users] Blank VM Install Console

The node is up and running. I can ssh in no problem. VM is started and running ok with 0% CPU 3% memory. I don't know how to connect VNC to it, my VNC console option is grayed out.

I also tried " browser plugin" option by installing spice-xpi on my RHEL6 (which runs the firefox browser). Now when the console is launched, a popup window shows up but then an error " Unable to connect to the graphic server". ----- Original Message ----- > From: Itamar Heim <iheim(a)redhat.com&gt; > To: David Li <david_li(a)sbcglobal.net>; Michal Skrivanek <michal.skrivanek(a)redhat.com&gt; > Cc: &quot;users(a)ovirt.org List" <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; > Sent: Friday, January 17, 2014 2:38 PM > Subject: Re: [Users] Blank VM Install Console > > On 01/18/2014 12:30 AM, David Li wrote: >> This time I tried to use "spice html5 browser client".
