Where did you get it from? It's built into current debian, I use it too. Does it support vv files? Didn't know that. The same package also has 'remote-viewer', which works for me with: remote-viewer vnc://host:port

For vv files I use the following script: ========================================================================= #!/bin/sh LOG=$HOME/vv1.log echo ===================== $(date) >> $LOG echo params "$@" >> $LOG vvfile="$1" host=$(sed -n 's/^host=\([a-zA-Z0-9-]*\).*/\1/p' "$vvfile") port=$(sed -n 's/^port=\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' "$vvfile") echo "$host" >> $LOG echo "$port" >> $LOG sed -n 's/^password=\(.*\)/\1/p' "$vvfile" | vncviewer -autopass "${host}::${port}" & sleep 2 /bin/rm -f "$vvfile" ========================================================================= Verified now that it works (I seldom use it because the default is spice which works for me).

(linked from main landing page, display options, user portal...so you > shouldn't moss it;) You refer to 'Console Client Resources', which links to [1]? I had to do some manual work to get spice-xpi working on Debian as it's not packaged for it (and iirc neither are some of the dependencies).
