[Users] Blank VM Install Console

Hi Michal,

I am starting from scratch. I set the console to SPICE and restarted the VM. 

Now if I choose "Browser plugin" as console option, there is a pop up window saying setting up spice then an error message saying it's fail to connect to the graphics server. I guess this might be because my browser machine doesn't have connection to the ovirt-node machine. It has to go through ovirt-engine machine

If I choose SPICE HTML5, then a new browser window shows up but it remains dark. I can't see anything. Any idea what's wrong or missing? 

I don't see an "Spice proxy" option.


So which option should I use to fit into my setup? None of them seems to work so far. I 'd like to pick the most promising one and pursue it further. 

Thanks.
