I did not see that and it works, thank you! Looks like I need some UI driver help though. Running the script actually helped me get to the root cause... Can't access the host name error. Of course it couldn't, I don't expose that host name outside the ovirt network. I was on my wireless network. Once I plugged into the ovirt net it worked. Duh!

Hello,
I'm a nube with ovirt, but have the ovirt-engine and 1 remote host up
and running (separate physical servers, same subnet). The network, DNS. NFS all work. I can create VM's, install the ISO OS with no problems. Here is were I get stuck.
After a frustrating few hours trying to get a console to launch on my
mac,
Have you seen this?
http://www.ovirt.org/SPICE_Remote-Viewer_on_OS_X
/Karli
I broke down and created a new Centos 6.4 Desktop VM using Fusion. I've installed -
spice-xpi (yum install spice-xpi) virt-manager (yum install virt-manager)
Using Firefox, if I try to open the console from the ovirt admin using
Spice browser plugin or native client options, nothing happens (no errors either), other than message saying the user is initiating a console session.
If using VNC, then it wants to either download the console.vv or open it
with the default viewer, which throws and error "Unable to connect to the graphics server file"
So, I'm stuck in going any further until I get this worked out. No VM IP
or host name (unless I'm missing something)... I actually find this quite unfriendly. I know similar issues have been discussed previously, but none have solved my problem. BTW: I'm running Centos 6.5 on both the engine and host.
I'm not sure if I'm missing additional packages or what. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Drew

Ah sorry. The vm guest is CentOS 6.4 or 6.5 depending in the ISO image used. Yes graphics driver package. I have virt-viewer on my CentOS vm running on my Mac. It works, but the Mac mouse is unusable when installing CentOS on the guest using remote-viewer. I have another machine running native CentOS. But remote-viewer won't launch because it can't connect to the graphics server. I'm guessing it's missing some drivers. Thanks for the help! Sent from my iPhone

Does the mouse work when running remote(virt)-viewer directly from your Mac to the same CentOS guest using the mentioned instructions[1]? [1]: http://www.ovirt.org/SPICE_Remote-Viewer_on_OS_X
I have another machine running native CentOS. But remote-viewer won't launch because it can't connect to the graphics server. I'm guessing it's missing some drivers.
No drivers are needed in the machine you´re viewing from. Only guest-side drivers are needed, and in Linux, they´re already there:) What you are experiencing is some kind of network-related issue. You need to make sure that the other "native" CentOS-machine can connect properly to the Host running the Guest via a resolvable address, because it will want to establish an encrypted session with the Host´s fqdn. /K

I have another machine running native CentOS. But remote-viewer won't
launch because it can't connect to the graphics server. I'm guessing it's missing some drivers.
No drivers are needed in the machine you´re viewing from. Only guest-side drivers are needed, and in Linux, they´re already there:)
What you are experiencing is some kind of network-related issue. You need to make sure that the other "native" CentOS-machine can connect properly to the Host running the Guest via a resolvable address, because it will want to establish an encrypted session with the Host´s fqdn.

Thanks for the help!

Now I´m confused. By guest, I meant Virtual Machine guest, not your PC. And by graphic packages, I was assuming you meant graphics _driver_ packages. Are we on the same track this far?

Glad it worked!
Looks like I need some UI driver help though.
Running the script actually helped me get to the root cause... Can't access the host name error. Of course it couldn't, I don't expose that host name outside the ovirt network. I was on my wireless network. Once I plugged into the ovirt net it worked. Duh!
Do you know of any spice graphic packages that don't need to be compiled?
What´s the guest? Windows?
Cheers!

Hello,
I'm a nube with ovirt, but have the ovirt-engine
and 1 remote host up and running (separate physical servers, same subnet). The network, DNS. NFS all work. I can create VM's, install the ISO OS with no problems. Here is were I get stuck.
After a frustrating few hours trying to get a
console to launch on my mac, Have you seen this?
http://www.ovirt.org/SPICE_Remote-Viewer_on_OS_X
/Karli
I broke down and created a new Centos 6.4 Desktop VM using Fusion. I've installed -
spice-xpi (yum install spice-xpi) virt-manager (yum install virt-manager)
Using Firefox, if I try to open the console from
the ovirt admin using Spice browser plugin or native client options, nothing happens (no errors either), other than message saying the user is initiating a console session.
If using VNC, then it wants to either download the
console.vv or open it with the default viewer, which throws and error "Unable to connect to the graphics server file"
So, I'm stuck in going any further until I get
this worked out. No VM IP or host name (unless I'm missing something)... I actually find this quite unfriendly. I know similar issues have been discussed previously, but none have solved my problem. BTW: I'm running Centos 6.5 on both the engine and host.
I'm not sure if I'm missing additional packages or
what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Drew

I have had a part in writing the wiki page about remote viewer for Mac, but that´s all. The developers are the real geniuses here:)
It was a DNS problem. I added the clients FQHN and IP to the local DNS and it worked like a charm. Thank you!
... And a big thank you to the developers:)
The mac version is actually usable as well.
@Christophe It works;) /K
Thanks for all your help! Drew

Does the mouse work when running remote(virt)-viewer directly from your Mac to the same CentOS guest using the mentioned instructions[1]?

Hi David, I thought remote-viewer was included in virt-manager, which I have in my CentOS client. Looks like I need to add virt-viewer as well? Thanks! On Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 3:54 AM, David Jaša <djasa@redhat.com> wrote:
