[ovirt-users] console spice questions

[David Jaša]

Hi Bill,

Yes, the document is already dated. Lately, you don't have to go through
the hoops needed to make spice-x work. Even if you can get it, it will
only work for you in IE < 11. You should instead just install
virt-viewer [1] and the consoles should Just Work for you using the
Natice Client (.vv file) method.
