I'm having a tough time getting a VM console working via VNC. I set a VM to use VNC, and I installed virt-viewer. 1. When I try to open a .vv file with virt-viewer, I get an error "Cannot find guest domain /var/tmp/console.vv" 2. Using a VNC client to connect to the host with the password in the .vv file just immediately disconnects it -- no error message. 3. noVNC just gives me an empty popup with a gray background. Any ideas? Greg Sheremeta Red Hat, Inc. Sr. Software Engineer, RHEV Cell: 919-807-1086 gshereme@redhat.com
Hi Greg, ad 1,2: what virt-viewer version are you using? old clients don't have support for connecting with .vv file. ad 3: have you websocket proxy up and running on your engine? in case you configured websocket proxy in engine-setup, have you imported engine's CA in your browser? Also - did SPICE web browser plugin invocation work for you? Cheers, Frank. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Sheremeta" <gshereme@redhat.com> To: "users" <users@ovirt.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 11:57:52 PM Subject: [Users] test day help -- console I'm having a tough time getting a VM console working via VNC.

Hi Greg, ad 1,2: what virt-viewer version are you using? old clients don't have support for connecting with .vv file.
See my reply to Michal, but ... greg@dauntless:~$ sudo yum install virt-viewer Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit Package virt-viewer-0.5.7-2.fc20.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do
ad 3: have you websocket proxy up and running on your engine? in case you configured websocket proxy in engine-setup,
I did
have you imported engine's CA in your browser?
I have not -- but I see no error telling me to. There should be an error.
Also - did SPICE web browser plugin invocation work for you?
It worked from the engine machine, but not from a remote third machine. It says "Unable to connect to the graphic server (null)" Thanks, Greg
Cheers, Frank.

Old virt-viewer. Where did you get it from?

Did you make it in 120s? Certificates?
3. noVNC just gives me an empty popup with a gray background.
You didn't import the engine's CA, did you?
Any ideas?
The Console Downloads page has all the info to get it work, did you check it out? (linked from main landing page, display options, user portal...so you shouldn't moss it;) Thanks, michal

Old virt-viewer. 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
2. Using a VNC client to connect to the host with the password in the .vv file just immediately disconnects it -- no error message.
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).
Did you make it in 120s?
That was the main reason for this script :-)
Certificates?
Didn't bother with that.
3. noVNC just gives me an empty popup with a gray background.

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). [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Console_Client_Resources -- Didi

It's a pretty invasive thing, IMHO. If I see that I need to install a browser certificate for something, first thing I'm going to do is look for the alternative. :/ It's worse than digging out my 2 factor auth token!!

I agree alternative is to use the native client or plugin:) you have 3 choices, unfortunately each needs some action/installation. But hopefully one out of three should work for everyone Thanks, michal

Not when you don't trust the cert authority. Unfortunately. That's why we added the page to such a prominent place:)
Not even "Authentication failure" ?
Nope, nothing. For 3.5 we're looking into enabling the debug console so you have something to look at...:)
Thanks, michal
Any ideas?
The Console Downloads page has all the info to get it work, did you check it out? (linked from main landing page, display options, user portal...so you shouldn't moss it;)
Thanks, michal

I'm having a tough time getting a VM console working via VNC. I set a VM to use VNC, and I installed virt-viewer.
1. When I try to open a .vv file with virt-viewer, I get an error "Cannot find guest domain /var/tmp/console.vv"
Old virt-viewer. Where did you get it from?
It came with F20. I'm on F20 and don't think many other people are. Is it a regression?
greg@dauntless:~$ yum list installed virt-viewer Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit google-chrome 3/3 google-talkplugin 1/1 Installed Packages virt-viewer.x86_64 0.5.7-2.fc20 installed
greg@dauntless:~$ sudo yum install virt-viewer Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit Package virt-viewer-0.5.7-2.fc20.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do
I don't see RPMs anywhere for 0.6, and compiling it didn't work for me. (configure: error: At least one of spice or vnc must be used)
Strange. I think it's in 0.5.6. Oh, remote-viewer, did you try that one?
Yeah, same results.
Let me try connecting from a different Fedora 20 machine, maybe mine's broken.
Sure enough, connecting using remote-viewer on a fresh Fedora 20 vm works fine. Looks like my machine is messed up. Sorry for the noise.
2. Using a VNC client to connect to the host with the password in the .vv file just immediately disconnects it -- no error message.
Did you make it in 120s?
Sorry, what?
The security ticket is valid for 120s only
Yes, I beat that.
Certificates?
Did not touch any certs. But, see my reply to #1.
3. noVNC just gives me an empty popup with a gray background.
You didn't import the engine's CA, did you?
You got me, but it should certainly give some error message, no?

virt-viewer works ok even on my OpenBSD machine at home. First check version, if old, compile/upgrade yourself. Updating to latest spice-gtk, gtk-vnc, virt-viewer recently solved virt-viewer core dumps when I had RHEL with GNOME and qxl driver. j.
