Re: [ovirt-users] Spice in 4.0
To be able to use the .vv file, virt-viewer 2.0-8 is required and it can't be found in CentOS 7 repos. CentOS 6 repos contain 2.0-14 version however.

Re: [ovirt-users] Spice in 4.0
We are using the 10Zig clients. We talked to support at 10Zig about the future of these thin clients and even though they are Red Hat certified thin clients, they are dropping spice support and not moving to virt- viewer. We are more than happy to help someone with the development of these in any way as we are kinda stuck and have a lot of these in our inventory.

Re: [ovirt-users] Spice in 4.0
Yes, this is a workaround for us after upgrading to 4.0. I know it's going away in 4.1 but this buys us some time. So the first option didn't work b/c like yous aid, it wasn't there. So we did the second step and it still didn't seem to work. We even tried restarting ovirt but that didn't help either. Any other ideas?

Assuming you can ssh into the machine that is running the engine (either HE or standard engine) as root: engine-config -s EnableDeprecatedClientModeSpicePlugin=true If that doesn't work because the option was not added to engine-config (couldn't tell from reading the code). Try this: sudo su postgres --this will log you in as the postgres user psql -d engine --this will start psql connecing to the engine database. The default will be --engine if you didn't specify something else during engine-setup. psql -l --will list all the databases. update vdc_options set option_value=true where option_name='EnableDeprecatedClientModeSpicePlugin'; > On Thu, Jul 21, 2016, at 01:14 PM, Alexander Wels wrote: > > On Thursday, July 21, 2016 01:08:49 PM Melissa Mesler wrote: > > > So I am trying to get spice working in ovirt 4.0.

Re: [ovirt-users] Spice in 4.0
Yes we are trying to get spice working on a thin client where we can't use virt-viewer. I just don't know the steps in the bugzilla to accomplish it as it's not completely clear.

The current way is the following: 1. Get virt-viewer for your platform. 2. Associated virt-viewer with .vv files in your browser. 3. Click the button, which will download the .vv file with the appropriate ticket. 4. The browser will launch virt-viewer with the .vv file as a parameter and it should just all work. > Where do you set vdc_options.EnableDeprecatedClientModeSpicePlugin to > 'true'??

[ovirt-users] Spice in 4.0
So I am trying to get spice working in ovirt 4.0. I found the following solution: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1316560 Where do you set vdc_options.EnableDeprecatedClientModeSpicePlugin to 'true'?? I see it says ENGINE_DB but what steps do I follow to do this? Can someone help me? ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
