[Users] Has anyone got a working script that could allow me to get a URL to connect to using virt-viewer under windows or for setting up vnc.
I like spice under Fedora but most of my users use windows. A few use Kubuntu none user Fedora at this time. I like ovirt and have been testing it for some time. 3.1 looks really good and all my tests have been working well if I can fix the console issues we would be bring ovirt into production but until we can find a way for the admin team to be able to access console oVirt is a no go. Thanks Robert
Hi Robert, This is a problem: 1 a) the active x plugin for windows/ie is not yet released. 1 b) the XPI plugin is linux-only (and effectively firefox-only but I think that patches for Chrome/Webkit compatibility will be welcome) 2) for Ubuntu, you'd need at least first of these two geting merged in Debian and then wait half year for Ubuntu to leech it: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=667565 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668284 (the second is technically not necessary but given that spicec is being discontinued and all the development takes there...) Alternatively, you could get spice-xpi for ubuntu from PPAs. David Robert Middleswarth píše v St 06. 06. 2012 v 14:50 -0400:

1 a) the active x plugin for windows/ie is not yet released. Yep I know. I tired to work around the issue by creating a fedora VM for people to VNC to however spicec aborts with the following error.
1339005616 INFO [11312:11312] Application::main: starting 0.8.3 1339005616 ERROR [11312:11312] main: unhandled exception: Unsupported visual for screen That suggest to me that spicec wants a real frame buffer not a virtual one. I am really open to suggestions for windows users to be able to console to a VM? That is why I am looking for a script something that can be run external of ovirt that can set a password and give them a URL that can be used by VNC or virt-viewer?
1 b) the XPI plugin is linux-only (and effectively firefox-only but I think that patches for Chrome/Webkit compatibility will be welcome)
Works fine under Fedora inside a virtualbox VM. So I am guessing it works fine in a bare metal install.
2) for Ubuntu, you'd need at least first of these two geting merged in Debian and then wait half year for Ubuntu to leech it: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=667565 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668284 (the second is technically not necessary but given that spicec is being discontinued and all the development takes there...)

Please send me a link to a working PPA for ubuntu? I have tried https://launchpad.net/~jasonbrooks/+archive/ppa under both 11.10 and 12.04 under both 32bit and 64bit Versions and both just error out. Sent the Aurthur an email reporting the issue and never heard back.

Trust me I have read up on the issue unless everyone in my group wants to keep a fedora VM to access the console on there system there doesn't seem to be a way for an admin to console to a VM currently. This will change at some point but until there is a workaround available for windows users or users of other distro's then Red Hat based ones oVirt isn't really usable. That is why I am asking if anyone has created a script I can use. Something that will allow me to run select a VM and have it assign assign a password and display a URL that can be copied / pasted into either virt-viewer or vnc. I have seen piece of it in the various lists. Suggesting that something could be done using the rest, sdk, or cli api's. I have seen some info on getting VNC to work but nothing organized and I would lose all spice support if I did but getting VNC to work is a possibility's. Although my preference would be something still using spice so spice-xpi would continue to work and over time the need for the hack would reduce and more OS's gain support. So that brings me back to my original question. Does anyone have a scripts or at least a string of commands I can tie together to spit out a URL I can use to connect using Virt-Viewer preferred or something for VNC. Thanks Robert

michael - i remember CLI supports this? Robert - very (very) preliminary, you can look at spice.html5

correct, i believe ovirt-cli has all you looking for, /console/ interface for vm and scripting capabilities, for more details see [1], for setting ticket via sdk, see sdk wiki [2] [1] http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/CLI [2] http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/SDK
Robert - very (very) preliminary, you can look at spice.html5

When I am wrong I admit it. Looks like I spent a lot of time looking for a workaround for a problem that has been fixed in the 3.1 tree. On 06/06/2012 05:04 PM, Itamar Heim wrote:

I missed that one going it. That works pretty well overall and works on all platforms. One less issue to iron out. Thanks Robert On 06/06/2012 06:14 PM, Robert Middleswarth wrote:

since this patch[1] you can get the connection details (password) to open a VNC console to a guest from UI. you can also use API/SDK to set the ticket from cli, then launch it. the ovirt cli has some builtin command for it, but not sure someone tried it on windows yet (it is python based) [1] authorGilad Chaplik <gchaplik@redhat.com> "VNC connection details - in case press console to vnc, the app will open a popup indicates the VNC connection details." http://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-engine.git;a=commit;h=abd057da7a737a1... http://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-engine.git;a=commit;h=c7fc82c51b82f92...
