Re: [Users] New website live! Feedback welcome
Just one word ; awesome !! I really liked the documentation pages. Its a pleasure to read them now :-) Thanks, Nasir From: Dave Neary To: annou...@ovirt.org; users Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 3:18 PM Subject: [Users] New website live! Feedback welcome Hi everyone, The new oVirt website is now live! http://www.ovirt.org We have made some changes to the infrastructure (the website is now running on MediaWiki: http://www.mediawiki.org on Red Hat's Platform as a Service offering OpenShift: https://openshift.redhat.com) and also to the look and feel. There is a new theme, designed and laid out by Garrett Lesage, some new content to discover, and best of all, since the entire website is now a wiki, it will be much easier to maintain over time. We have been careful to ensure that all of the old website links redirect to appropriate pages on the new site. If you find any dead links, or redirects which do not make sense, please let us know! And as the site has had limited exposure up to this point, we are happy to hear your feedback on things you like, and things we can improve. Thank you all for your support, assistance and understanding throughout this process!

Actually due to the lack of good documentation for Ovirt, I was following RHEV guides along with ovirt guides and hence missed out this one. I followed the above link exactly(well, I think so :-) ) and still I could not get it done properly. When I click on the install plugin button using the URL http://my_ovirt_server/spice.html from the windows 7 machine which I was using to access the User Portal , it is giving me a warning message by the browser asking whether you want to install it or not (which is expected ). But when I click to install, nothing happens. So I manually installed using the virt-viewer exe file which I had got by extracting the spice.cab file and I am able to access the console without any problem. This is OK for the time being as I can access the console from user portal after installing the ActiveX/spice plugins manually though I would strongly prefer the deployment model whereby users can click and install the plugins on the fly as described in the above link.

[Users] Unable to access remote console in User portal from IE/Windows7
Hi All, I have been experimenting with Ovirt 3.1 and so far most of the things work. Many thanks indeed for this great free software! Now I am facing an issue for accessing the remote console in User Portal from windows 7 client using IE9. I am able to login to the User Portal and access the VM using the console button from Linux. But while I try the same from a windows 7 machine, it is NOT working. When I click on the console button, it doesn't pop any window or show anything. Some of the docs I read says that for the first time, I would be greeted with an ActiveX warning and can install the same to get the console. But I didnt get anything of that kind. So my questions to you all are, -- Is User Portal and Console supported on Windows platform ? -- If supported, is there anything needed to be installed on the Windows machine from which I am trying to access the User Portal ?( I did install spice-guest-tools-0.exe on both VM and the Windows machine I am trying to access the User Portal) -- If not supported, what is the recommended way of accessing VMs from windows clients ? I understand that the firefox spice-xpi plugin is only for Linux. Relevant info, --OS : CentOS 6.3 64 bit -- ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone-3.1.0-3.28.el6.noarch.rpm (Actually I used the repo from http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/ , ) -- Client from which I am trying to access: Windows 7 (32bit), IE 9 Any reply would be highly appreciated and I would be more than happy to send any further details if needed. I searched a lot for any relevant docs for the same but could not find anything. Thanks and regards, Nasir ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
