Hello, I need a working mozilla-xpi for Ubuntu 12.04 (and soon 12.10). It is strange that an opensource project as ovirt is only working on Fedora. Thanks in advance for any help. Mario

Ideally this should be included in the core distro. It's worth adding your input to the request in launchpad [1] to help the distro maintainers prioritize it. Jason created a PPA that's reference in the bug that I'm sure still works. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/943510 ----- Original Message -----

spice-xpi is a little tricky because it needs to be rebuilt for every firefox rev -- and as we all know, those happen constantly. My ppa is a bit broken at the moment, as I was trying to get autobuild working, and working on all the supported current ubuntu revs (and their ff build deps keep changing from release to release). I'll try to get it working again, at least for the current ubuntu release. Jason

I think the solution is to drop the xpi usage, in favour of MIME type and standard client[1]. Less integration issues, more security for users. Regards, Alon [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843410

Yes, infact I am trying your 2.7-0 and 2.7-1 under firefox 16.01 and unfortunately it crashes always. If you have right sources I can try to compile it on my own. Thank you very much.

This is the repo I set up to feed the ppa: https://github.com/jasonbrooks/spice-xpi-ppa I had to set it up like this because the main spice repo uses submodules, and launchpad doesn't support those.
Thank you very much.

Cannot compile. Missing typelib.py. It is in a different path in firefox-dev package. So I fix the path but now it misses header.py and this is really missing. Thanks, Mario

I updated my pkg for precise. For quantal, it's going to take more work, because ubuntu got rid of the firefox sdk in quantal.
Thanks, Mario

If you build from sources you can use the patch attached to[1]. It prompted with the address and password at the admin interface so you can execute spicy manually.

While we don't have ovirt-engine-sdk packages for ubuntu, arch, debian, etc. (though a pypi package should be soon coming thanks to Michael Pasternak), I added a guide to install ovirt-engine-sdk on Debian/Ubuntu and arch linux. I especially recommend the approach I always follow, which is to install it on a virtual env. http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/SDK#Deployment ----- Original Message -----

While we don't have ovirt-engine-sdk packages for ubuntu, arch, debian, etc. (though a pypi package should be soon coming thanks to Michael Pasternak),
done.
I added a guide to install ovirt-engine-sdk on Debian/Ubuntu and arch linux. I especially recommend the approach I always follow, which is to install it on a virtual env.
cool, thanks.

Welcome to my world... if it was so easy I have compiled it myself. Anyway use firefox-dev and download xulrunner-2.0 or 1.9 from old ubuntu (you will find it in ubuntu website)

I've been trying to build the version available at the SPICE website. The problem I'm facing now is that Ubuntu hasn't available anymore libxul-dev...

I'll try it tonight in my archlinux and debian installations and report back. Maybe we should submit ovirtsdk to pypi so at least it will be installabe using pip/easy_install.
i'll do that tomorrow.

Ideally this should be included in the core distro.
Is there an alternative to mozilla-xpi? Can I use spicy?

Hello, I need a working mozilla-xpi for Ubuntu 12.04 (and soon 12.10). It is strange that an opensource project as ovirt is only working on Fedora.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I am running Ubuntu 13.04 and got it working using the following steps: 1. Install the spice-client package which gives you /usr/bin/spicec. 2. Extract the libnsISpicec.so file from the latest Fedora (FC19) RPM 3. Placed it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ 4. Restart Firefox Worked for me!

Nice. Do you mind to add these steps into wiki.ovirt.org ? To request account please go to: http://www.ovirt.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Home Thanks! -- Cheers Douglas

Hi, I have added it to the below link where I found some other info about the spice-xpi. http://www.ovirt.org/Testing/Spice#Testing_Spice_with_Ovirt I've also had feedback that there is another method: 1. install spice client: # apt-get install spice-client 2. download spice xpi from:https://launchpad.net/~jasonbrooks/+archive/ppa/+packages # dpkg -i spice-xpi_2.7-0~41~precise1_amd64.deb The xpi package is compiled for Ubuntu 12.04, but works fine with Ubuntu 12.10 as well - don't know if it works with Ubuntu 13.04... I haven't added these steps to the wiki as I haven't tested them yet.

Thanks a lot for the information! Didn't tried spice xpi with Ubuntu 13.04, but with Linux Mint 14 (which is based on Ubuntu 12.10) you can install the xpi without the need of Fedora rpms: 1. install spice client: # apt-get install spice-client 2. download spice xpi from: https://launchpad.net/~jasonbrooks/+archive/ppa/+packages # dpkg -i spice-xpi_2.7-0~41~precise1_amd64.deb The xpi package is compiled for Ubuntu 12.04, but works fine with Ubuntu 12.10 as well - don't know if it works with Ubuntu 13.04...
