that makes sense...there was a UI bug fixed in 3.6.3 - the code was setting 
something different than what you’ve selected…3.6.3 was just released, give it 
a try after an upgrade

Hi Michal,

on the affected VMs the following error occurs when trying to start them:

Error while executing action: 
Cannot run VM. Selected display type is not supported by the operating system.

This is the case on VMs with Operating System set to "Other OS" and Video Type
set to "CIRRUS".

PLEASE NOTE that this only occurs on my "old" VMs (that have been available 
*before* upgrading from oVirt 3.5.x to 3.6.x). When creating new VMs this 
actually does work as expected. So I assume this is an upgrade issue in oVirt 
3.6.x.

what do you mean “forces”?
you should be able to switch to cirrus (which forces vnc) or even use just the 
vnc on qxl

It should work the same. Just for SPICE+VNC mode you need to pick which one you 
want to use (then the invocation is taken from teh parameter)
We don’t have a concept of “preferred” console, though…if you want to use only 
one then don’t use SPICE+VNC in the first place

hm…doesn’t seem to be supported:/
worth a bug or contribute a fix:)

[ovirt-users] Set default console in oVirt 3.6 (NoVNC VS. Native)

[Frank Wall]

Hi,

with oVirt 3.5 (and prior) it was possible to set the default console like this:

# engine-config -s ClientModeVncDefault=NoVnc

Unfortunately, starting with oVirt 3.6 this doesn't seem to work anymore.

The root cause seems to be that I am no longer allowed to use the previous
Video Type for my VMs ("Other OS"), oVirt forces me to choose "QXL" for 
several VMs now. And hence I am presented with both SPICE and VNC as console 
options (although I don't want to use SPICE at all).

What's the new way to set NoVNC as default console in that case?
Is there still a way to set VNC as default for "QXL"?

A related question: How to set the default console for SPICE to "SPICE HTML5"?
