[Users] Console defaults

[Frantisek Kobzik]

Hello guys,

let me just refine - the browser-side persistence applies per user and vm. 

Michal, you're right - there is no way to configure it engine-wide, but it wouldn't be a problem to implement it.

Cheers,
F.

Plus with over 30 vm's it is quite a pain to have each person to set each one individually (we haven't fully migrated over to 3.3 from 3.1 at the moment.)  It does not scale to larger installations.

Since the devs decided to remove the popup window and only download a file, it added several steps for me to be able to look at the console on my Mac. There isn't a packaged viewer for spice on OSX as of yet and every time I have tried to get it installed it fails. So, my only option is VNC of which there are none that will open the .vv files.

did you try http://www.spice-space.org/page/OSX_Client ?

for VNC - associate the .vv with a TextEdit or something similar, and do copy&paste of credentails as you were doing from the popup

for noVNC, well, it's a per user and browser setting (for all VMs), but no easy way how to set it in advance for many users. There is a global option for SPICE to select either plugin or .vv, but that doesn't appl to the new browser-only clinets. But that should be relatively easy to implement…Franta?

Thanks,
michal
