Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt Console on Windows 7

[Brett Holcomb]

I tried Chrome and it worked fine right out of the box.  All I had to do 
was download the file first (because Chrome is stupid about that - way 
to go Google) and then right click on the file in the bottom download 
bar and select Always open files of this type and it found and used 
remote-viewer.  If I delete the vv file and open another vm console it 
works fine.  Chrome is also more responsive and faster.  Bye Firefox - 
this was the last application that needed you.

So what do I need to use a console in the portal in Windows 7?

Also, when will the portal work with Chrome?


Download the virt VIEWER from 
https://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virt-viewer/virt-viewer-x64-5.0.msi 
assuming you have a 64 bit windows. If you
don't there are links to 32 bit on https://virt-manager.org/download/ again
make sure to download the VIEWER not the manager.

Then in your browser associate .vv files with the virt viewer and clicking the
console button should be all you need to make it work.

The portal has worked in Chrome since at least oVirt 3.1 maybe even earlier.
Anything in particular that doesn't work for you?


Thanks.

I had downloaded the virt-viewer but removed it and downloaded again.  
I'm on 64 bit windows.  When I run the console I set virt viewer under 
the bin directory as the run with.  I get a window and the message



"unable to connect to libvirt with URL [none]"

I'll try Chrome.  I started using oVirt at 3.5 but evidently was mislead 
by outdated documentation which said it didn't work unless you 
downloaded tons of stuff and jumped through hoops.  I'll try it again 
since that would let me get rid of Firefox.


Thanks to all who answered.

The virt-manager package has a number of programs but the one you should use is 
remote-viewer. In your clients browser associate the console.vv file with 
remote-viewer and then it will start remote-viewer passing the console.vv file 
with the connection details including the OTP (one time p...word).

[Andy Michielsen]

Hello,

I use virt-viewer on my windows machines. And then in the user portal or admin 
portal download a console.vv and let virt-viewer run that.
Just right click on a machine an choose open console. Make sure under edit your 
using the spice console.

Kind regards.

[ovirt-users] oVirt Console on Windows 7

[Brett Holcomb]

On my Windows machine I can run the web portal without issues but I 
would like to use the console from the portal on the VMs.  I installed 
the virt-manager but it if I do


spice://myengine.my.domain:5900 it tells me I can't connect.

I've found a lot of contradictory advice (big surprise! ). Some say I 
need to install spice.cab (link does not work and a working link lead to 
a site with malware which got blocked).


So what do I need to use a console in the portal in Windows 7?

Also, when will the portal work with Chrome?

Thanks.
