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! Do you know of any spice graphic packages that don't need to be compiled?

The guest is MacOS 10.8.5. or CentOS 6.4.

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.

You're a genius!

It was a DNS problem. I added the clients FQHN and IP to the local DNS and it worked like a charm. Thank you!

The mac version is actually usable as well.

It works, but the Mac mouse is unusable when installing CentOS on the guest using remote-viewer. Does the mouse work when running remote(virt)-viewer directly from your Mac to the same CentOS guest using the mentioned instructions[1]?

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 > > Thanks for the help! > > > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Feb 11, 2014, at 1:27 AM, Karli Sjöberg <Karli.Sjoberg(a)slu.se&gt; wrote: > > > >> On Mon, 2014-02-10 at 12:04 -0500, Drew Showers wrote: > >> The guest is MacOS 10.8.5. or CentOS 6.4. > > > > Now I´m confused.
