The virt-manager package has a number of programs but the one you should use is remote-viewer. In your clients browser associate the console.vv file with remote-viewer and then it will start remote-viewer passing the console.vv file with the connection details including the OTP (one time p...word).

I've found a lot of contradictory advice (big surprise! <G>). Some say I need to install spice.cab (link does not work and a working link lead to a site with malware which got blocked). So what do I need to use a console in the portal in Windows 7? Also, when will the portal work with Chrome? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users To view the terms under which this email is distributed, please go to:- http://disclaimer.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/disclaimer/disclaimer.html

I had downloaded the virt-viewer but removed it and downloaded again. I'm on 64 bit windows. When I run the console I set virt viewer under the bin directory as the run with. I get a window and the message "unable to connect to libvirt with URL [none]" I'll try Chrome. I started using oVirt at 3.5 but evidently was mislead by outdated documentation which said it didn't work unless you downloaded tons of stuff and jumped through hoops. I'll try it again since that would let me get rid of Firefox. Thanks to all who answered. On 01/18/2017 08:46 AM, Alexander Wels wrote:
