If this is a VM configuration question ("How do I remove the QXL video
device from the VM definition"), this is something for ovirt people to
answer. If the QXL device is not present in the VM definition, it should
not matter whether the QXL drivers are installed in the VM or not.

There is no Windows 8+ QXL driver, so things are working in some VGA

  Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] [ovirt-devel] [RFC] oVirt mobile client
  
  Hey guys,
  
  Thanks for remembering about Opaque. For those who are not familiar
  with the project, it is an oVirt/RHEV graphics console client which
  supports the SPICE protocol so far. It uses libgovirt to connect to
  the oVirt/RHEV API. I also created a separate pure SPICE client
  (called aSPICE) for Android based on libspice.
  
  It would be nice if I got more feedback from Red Hat developers, but
  you guys are probably as busy as I am :). The app is getting attention
  on Google Play and people are using it successfully for their
  installations, it seems.
  
  I have plans to add the following features to Opaque, time permitting:
  
  - Ability to edit default settings, so that people who connect with
  console.vv file will be able to configure Audio, keyboard layout, etc.
  - The ability to allocate VMs from a pool.
  - The ability to control Audio Playback and Recording separately.
  
  I don't think Opaque needs to get portal-management functionality.
  
  I was contacted by an intern working on movirt (Sphoorti Joglekar,
  cc-ed), asking whether I would be willing to support a URI Intent
  scheme that movirt can use to launch aSPICE. I think I already have a
  pretty well specified URI scheme that may work for the purpose, so
  we'll see how that goes. I am wondering whether it wouldn't be better
  to launch aSPICE or Opaque with a console.vv file instead, though. I
  guess the developers of movirt will have to consider both options.
  
  At any rate, Opaque is far from dead. I'm security supporting it, I
  just don't find a lot of time to work on additional features.
  
  I am cc-ing Brian Proffitt, because at one point we discussed setting
  up Opaque as a sub-project of oVirt. I don't know whether there is any
  interest for that in Red Hat, or any interest at all in supporting
  mobile clients for oVirt/RHEV, etc. It would be nice to hear an
  official stance on the topic.
 
 (adding Brian properly this time)
 
 I think it makes sense to add it together with something…though maybe
 more related to SPICE clients. So adding Christophe for his thoughts…

Opaque seems to be more an oVirt client than a SPICE client, so I'd tend
to think it would be a better fit as an oVirt project. aSPICE would fit
well together with other SPICE repositories, dunno if these are the same
code base or not (?).

 On Jan 5, 2015, at 13:38 , Tomas Jelinek tjeli...@redhat.com wrote:
  
  One more question - does aSPICE support spice proxy?
  

libgovirt is not parsing the proxy information at this point, so answer
would be no. See

and its followup

- Various leak/memory-handling related bug fixes
- ovirt_proxy_new now expects a hostname without the https:// and the

If 'spice-client' is spicec (you can check with ps while it's running

  There are some (incomplete) notes here:

  There are some old posts os the spice-dev list which seem to hint the build

  done via cross compile from fedora.
  
  I need to build the remote viewer for window to incorporate some bug fixes

Yep, this is partly due to the nsis version that I use to build the

Another issue with win2012 is that there is no qxl driver for it yet.

Changes since 0.2.0:

- Add support for listing storage domains and the files they contain
- Add support for changing the CDRom available in a VM
- Introduced an OvirtApi class which represents the toplevel oVirt
  collection from which one can access VMs, storage domains, ...
  This means that various OvirtProxy methods to fetch VMs have been deprecated
  in favour of using OvirtApi + OvirtCollection methods
- Rework certificate handling, OvirtProxy now has a 'ssl-ca-file' property
  that can be used to specify which CA certificate should be used to validate
  remote certificates.
- Certificate checking is now enforced by default unless
  OvirtProxy::ssl-strict is set to FALSE
- ABI/API hasn't been broken, even though some functions were deprecated

I'd make sure the QXL driver is installed in the Ubuntu guest, but I think
Ubuntu being slow has already been mentioned, probably related to their 3d
use for Unity. If there is a 2d fallback for Unity, I'd try this, or
a different window manager.

It partially supports .vv files, if you run it from a terminal passing it a
.vv file, then it will be used. However, to be able to directly open files
loaded from the web browser, a bit of code is needed (I think this is what

[Users] libgovirt 0.2.0

[Christophe Fergeau]

Hey,

I've just made a new release of libgovirt. libgovirt is a GObject C library
to access oVirt/RHEV[1] REST API[2]. At the moment, it's able to get the list of
VMs available on an oVirt instance, and to get the connection details for
a given VM.
This release mainly consists of internal refactoring to make
it easier to support new parts of oVirt REST API, and to get it to work
with older glib versions. However, it also has minor API breaks, and
changes the library soname because of ABI breakage.

It can be downloaded from
http://people.freedesktop.org/~teuf/govirt/libgovirt-0.2.0.tar.xz
It's signed with my GPG key:
A525 E3EA 186A AB45 DD0F  86AF 24A4 69FB 7A56 F78E

Changes since 0.1.0

- Rename OvirtVm::uuid to OvirtVm::guid to match oVirt terminology
- Break ABI :(
- Switch back to using GSimpleAsyncResult (from GTask) to gain
  compatibility with older glib versions
- Refactor internals to make it much easier to add support for more
  REST collections
- Parse more VM states from the OvirtVm resource

This does not have support for ovirt://, so the errors you get are

 As Itamar mentioned if you are running the spice client inside a VM
 (dunno if this is case) you will need the guest paravirtual driver
 and/or services for mouse handling. I have observed exactly this
 behavior before when running the spice client in a VM when the guest
 tools/drivers for mouse handling are not present (In my case most of
 the time VirtualBox).
 
 Very amusing bug:) But cripples SPICE´s usage.
 
 I have tested this from 5 different physical machines running Win7/IE,
 and this behavior shows itself only on machines with more than one
 monitor, or a laptop with another monitor attached .e.g. These guest
 tools you both mention, would these be
 http://spice-space.org/download/binaries/spice-guest-tools-0.1.exe;?
 And can you install them in a physical machine as well?
 
 cc-ing spice-devel to see if they have insights on your issue

Could this be related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852841
?

[Users] GNOME Boxes/oVirt integration

[Christophe Fergeau]

Hey,

I've blogged yesterday about the recent work I've done to add oVirt support
to GNOME Boxes ( https://live.gnome.org/Boxes/ ) using oVirt REST API:

http://cfergeau.blogspot.fr/2012/07/outside-boxes.html

«  Outside Boxes

oVirt

Let's start this post with a quick presentation of oVirt (you'll understand
why in a few paragraphs...).
oVirt is a free project providing management, monitoring and provisioning
of KVM virtual machines on multiple hosts. It comes with a web interface to
create and manage virtual machines, hypervisor nodes, storage, ... and with
a user portal for those who just want to connect to an already existing
virtual machine.
The way the user portal works is that you log into the portal from your
browser, then you choose the virtual machine you want to connect to, and a
browser plugin will take over and spawn an external binary (these days it's
remote-viewer)
oVirt also comes with an extensive REST API which lets you do
programmatically the same thing as you can do from oVirt web UIs. Moreover,
it has an extensive documentation.


But what about GNOME?

And now we are finally coming as to why I'm talking about all of this :)
Lately, I've been hacking on Boxes, and since one of its goals is to view,
access, and use shared connection / machine, I've decided it would be fun
to make it support oVirt connections! This would make it easier for Boxes
users to connect to oVirt virtual machines without having to go through
their browser.

librest already provides a good low-level GObject library to access REST
services (though it was missing authentication support), so I used it to
build a higher level library which wraps the oVirt REST accesses:
libgovirt. This library uses GObject and gobject-introspection, which gives
bindings to several other languages for free (including vala which is
needed for Boxes). It also provides asynchronous methods for all its remote
operations.
The library is still young and only implements the few REST operations I
needed (list oVirt virtual machines, get VM connection details, generate
temporary VM display password, ...), but this is enough for Boxes needs ;)

Once this library was in good shape, using it in Boxes was quite easy as
the existing code was modular enough. All I had to do was to add a new URI
type (ovirt://), and add a new Machine subclass to handle oVirt VMs, but
most of the work is done by the libgovirt library.

This work is not yet merged upstream but can be seen in my personal git
repository. After some small cleanups and a libgovirt release, it should be
in good shape for an upstream review and integration. As for libgovirt,
there is a lot of API to bind (help welcome!), but binding this new 3.1 API
will be mandatory to be able to connect to all oVirt-managed VMs. One
possible way forward for libgovirt would be to leverage the python oVirt
REST binding generator from ovirt-engine-sdk.

And before ending this blog post, mandatory screenshots! »

Cheers,

Christophe
