This is awesome work, thank you so much for this! For our users and
administrators, having a button you just click to get a console is sooo
much easier than having to copy-paste a bunch of cryptic addresses and
passwords, and having to use the infamous, dangerous hacker tool VNC:)
I followed the wiki instructions and a vital piece missing is to restart
ovirt-engine before trying to install the spice-client from the install
portal. I went back and read through the email you first posted and the
restart was mentioned there so I did and then it worked! Wohoo! So you
might want to add that point to the wiki page as well, to avoid future
confusion.
But...when I have virt-viewer(-0.5.3) installed, log in to webadmin and
click for console on a guest, the console shows up. But when I try to go
into the console window with the mouse cursor, the cursor jumps off to
one of the edges of my *monitor*, and not into the console window- as
you would expect. Maybe virt-viewer mistakenly "thinks" that the edges
of it´s window really are the edges of the whole monitor? Am I holding
it wrong?
do you have spice guest side drivers for local mouse handling?
