RHEVM: RHEV3.1 Spice client (virt-viewer) compatibility issues
Hello again I've hit an compatibility issue with the RHEV3.1 and 3.0 Spice clients. Not through choice, we have to use Internet Explorer as our browser access RHEV-M. Since we have been running just RHEV3.0 this has not been particularly an issue. However, since we are now deploying RHEV3.1 we're now hitting a problem accessing VM consoles using Spice. Upon clicking the console button for the first time on the RHEV3.1 manager, I noticed that it downloaded and installed virt-viewer_0.5.3 on my Windows desktop. The console failed to start. Not only that, now when attempting to access a VM spice console via the RHEV3.0 manager instead of stating a spice session , it instead starts a "view-viewer" session which I suppose is fine except that the cursor release buttons (in my case configured as Ctrl-Alt) no longer work and focus gets stuck on the console. To get around this, I've had to remove virt-viewer that comes with 3.1 and re-install the spice client that comes with 3.0 Of course, now I can only access VM consoles in 3.1 via VNC which is far from ideal. Any suggestions ?
