RHEV 3.3 - Using SPICE HTML5 browser client for EL6 guests

Latest response

Even though it is a tech preview in RHEV 3.3, I have tried the SPICE HTML5 browser client with an EL6 guest.

I found that, after logging in to the EL6 guest, the GUI doesn't seem to know the location of the mouse pointer when there is a button press event. Wherever the mouse pointer happens to be, the GUI responds to the button press as if it was at the top left corner of the display.

However, you can restart the SPICE HTML5 client and then the button press events start working again. (Exit from the SPICE HTML5 client by closing the browser tab or window. Then, start a new client from the User or Admin Portal.)

The SPICE HTML5 client seems to work better in Google Chrome than in Firefox. Chrome has better performance and doesn't have problems with the '-' key.
