Hello everybody,

I have been able to install in my Debian box Iceweasel browser the spice-xpi plugin and I can see consoles from admin portal and User portal.

When I go to a Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits client and open oVirt User Portal login and I can see my Fedora linux 17 VM and my Windows 7 Enterprise 32bits VM in the portal but when I click in the console remote-viewer open with a black screen about two seconds and it closes and the VM doesn't shows.
Exactly what I´m experiencing as well! I´m not alone:) What version of oVirt are you running, 3.1, or 3.2?

/Karli
I have tested two versions of virt-viewer, x86 and x64, downloaded from http://spice-space.org/download.html but I can't see my VMs.

I have followed the how-to: http://wiki.ovirt.org/How_to_Connect_to_SPICE_Console_With_Portal but nothing happens. I have been to install virt-viewer but VM doesn't show in the console. The Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits client has IE v.10 and I also have done a downgrade to IE v.9.0 but it doesn't work.

Can somebody give me guidance about this problem?

Many thanks in avanced,

Juanjo.

One question about the rendering of the proposed spice.html page in the wiki.
At the end of the two "manual install" sections and before the
uninstall one there is a code that should propose a button (?) or
something to manual install

<p>1) Right-Click "Spice Remote-Viewer Client/ActiveX Plugin" and
choose "save target as"</p>
...
8) Click the close button once it is done to complete the install

9) The Spice Remote-Viewer Client/ActiveX Plugin is now installed and
you will be able to view the consoles of your vm's in the User/Admin
portals.
 here a script section that seems not to be rendered, its code is:
>---<
<script type="text/JavaScript">
getHttpHref("spice/virt-viewer-0.5.3.exe","Spice Remote-Viewer
Client/ActiveX Plugin");
</script>
<a name="manual-uninstall1"></a>
>---<

Windows XP (x86)/Server 2003/R2 (x86/x64) Uninstall Instructions:

1) *Important* Close all open Internet Explorer windows/sessions!
...

But actually I don't see anything between point 9) and the line with

Windows XP (x86)/Server 2003/R2 (x86/x64) Uninstall Instructions:

Is there anything wrong with the snippet code?
I don't understand what should appear in the rendering that I'm able
to right-click to manual install....

It´s just a button that you click to install remote-viewer. Can´t say why it´s not working for you, but I´ve followed the guide to set up the portal and everything works as expected to install Spice with oVirt-3.1. A co-worker of mine was able to, by himself, figure out how to do it, without me even knowing it; he said that the process was very logical, straight-forward and well presented, so big kudos to DHC for that!

Something that still bothers me in Windows/IE though, is that you are able to get a working console through webadmin, but not the userportal.

Tried both in firefox and in IE and nothing appears as a consequence
of this javascript code...
If I directly go to

https://tekkaman.localdomain.local/spice/virt-viewer-0.5.3.exe

I get the prompt to download/install the exe, so I think I correctly
put my files...

Thanks Gianluca
