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...


Regards,
René
