Hi,
we´ve been using the spice page to make users install the ActiveX plugin for a while now, and have had no complaints so far. But while it does it´s job, you really noticed it wasn´t quite part of oVirt as a whole with it´s rather...spartan design:) So I have taken a little time to make it look just a little prettier, and feel more like a part of the product.
thanks for improving this. I could appreciate it more if you send a screenshot :) Thanks, Itamar

Hope someone enjoys it.

I would be happy to wiki'fy it ;) I have requested a wiki account so I will just need someone to grant the proper create/edit page access or create a stub page and allow edit access to it. - DHC

I have seen this question asked many times on this list and the spice-devel list. Now having figured out how to make it work I will provide the answer to the rest of the community.
*NOTE* this only applies to Windows/Internet Explorer users. There exists no other option other than the html5 spice console (still beta/in development) for windows users ATM. This will also only work with Internet Explorer.
Basic Steps: - Install an oVirt server. - Add at least one node - Setup storage/iso/export domains
Advanced steps - Start by downloading: http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice.cab - Create a directory for it oVirt looks by default in /usr/share/spice - Rename spice.cab to SpiceX.cab and copy it into /usr/share/spice - Now edit /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war/WEB-INF and add the following:
<!-- SpiceX.cab --> <servlet> <servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.ovirt.engine.core.FileServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>type</param-name> <param-value>application/octet-stream</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>file</param-name> <param-value>/usr/share/spice/SpiceX.cab</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/spice/SpiceX.cab</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
- Next create an html file within /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war - In the example below an html file called "spice.html" - Copy/Paste the below into spice.html:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>SPICE Plugin Installer</title>
<script type="text/javascript"> function installSpice() { try { document.getElementById('SpiceX').innerHTML = '<OBJECT id="SpiceX" codebase="/spice/SpiceX.cab" classid="clsid:ACD6D89C-938D-49B4-8E81-DDBD13F4B48A" width="0" height="0"></OBJECT>'; } catch (ex) { alert("Epic Fail!: " + ex.Description); } } </script>
</head> <body> <p> <p><b id='SpiceX'>Spice ActiveX Plugin</b> </p> <button onclick='installSpice()'>Install Spice Plugin</button> </p> </body> </html>
- Save the file - You will now need to restart the ovirt-engine service EG: systemctl restart ovirt-engine.service OR service ovirt-engine restart - The installer page will now be available at http://<url to ovirt server>/spice.html EX: http://ovirt.azeroth.net/spice.html - Navigate to that page and click the install button - IE will prompt you to deploy/install the SpiceX cabinet file - It may gripe about an unsigned or untrusted source, acknowledge this an proceed anyways - If the install succeeds the text "Spice ActiveX Plugin" on the page will change to blank (it's actually the plugin with null values) - The console button in the user and webadmin portals will now launch the new virt-viwer spice based console!
Happy Spice Consoling to your VM's from Windows!
*NOTE* To uninstall the plugin: - The below removes the add-on from IE (EG: removes knowledge of "application/x-spice") - pop a command terminal and type: On Windows XP: regsvr32 /u "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll" On Windows 7 regsvr32 /u C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\AppData\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll" - Next we need to remove the rest of virt-viewer - Go to add/remove programs and uninstall virt-viewer, this removes the rest of virt-viewer from the system
