Thank you! glad to be able to help ;)
As Itamar mentioned if you are running the spice client inside a VM
(dunno if this is case) you will need the guest paravirtual driver
and/or services for mouse handling. I have observed exactly this
behavior before when running the spice client in a VM when the guest
tools/drivers for mouse handling are not present (In my case most of
the time VirtualBox).
Very amusing "bug":) But cripples SPICE´s usage.
I have tested this from 5 different physical machines running Win7/IE,
and this behavior shows itself only on machines with more than one
monitor, or a laptop with another monitor attached .e.g. These guest
tools you both mention, would these be
"http://spice-space.org/download/binaries/spice-guest-tools-0.1.exe";?
And can you install them in a physical machine as well?
cc-ing spice-devel to see if they have insights on your issue

This is awesome work, thank you so much for this! For our
users and
administrators, having a button you just click to get a

much easier than having to copy-paste a bunch of cryptic
addresses and
passwords, and having to use the infamous, dangerous hacker
tool VNC:)
I followed the wiki instructions and a vital piece missing is
to restart
ovirt-engine before trying to install the spice-client from
the install
portal. I went back and read through the email you first
posted and the
restart was mentioned there so I did and then it worked!
Wohoo! So you
might want to add that point to the wiki page as well, to
avoid future
confusion.
But...when I have virt-viewer(-0.5.3) installed, log in to
webadmin and
click for console on a guest, the console shows up. But when I
try to go
into the console window with the mouse cursor, the cursor
jumps off to
one of the edges of my *monitor*, and not into the console
window- as
you would expect. Maybe virt-viewer mistakenly "thinks" that
the edges
of it´s window really are the edges of the whole monitor? Am I
holding
it wrong?
do you have spice guest side drivers for local mouse handling?

I have requested a wiki account so I will just
need someone to
grant the proper create/edit page access or create
a stub page
and allow edit access to it.

I have seen this question asked many
times on this list
and the spice-devel list. Now having
figured out how to
make it work I will provide the answer
to the rest of
the community.
*NOTE* this only applies to
Windows/Internet Explorer
users. There exists no other option
other than the html5
spice console (still beta/in
development) for windows
users ATM. This will also only work
with Internet Explorer.
Basic Steps:
- Install an oVirt server.
- Add at least one node
- Setup storage/iso/export domains
Advanced steps
- Start by downloading:
http://elmarco.fedorapeople.__org/spice.cab
<http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice.cab>
- Create a directory for it oVirt
looks by default in
/usr/share/spice
- Rename spice.cab to SpiceX.cab and
copy it into
/usr/share/spice
- Now edit
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/__engine.ear/root.war/WEB-INF
and
add the following:
<!-- SpiceX.cab -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</__servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.ovirt.__engine.core.FileServlet</__servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>type</param-name>
<param-value>application/__octet-stream</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>file</param-name>
<param-value>/usr/share/spice/__SpiceX.cab</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</__servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/spice/SpiceX.__cab</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
- Next create an html file within
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/__engine.ear/root.war
- In the example below an html file
called "spice.html"
- Copy/Paste the below into spice.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>SPICE Plugin Installer</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function installSpice()
{
try {
document.getElementById('__SpiceX').innerHTML =
'<OBJECT id="SpiceX"
codebase="/spice/SpiceX.cab"
classid="clsid:ACD6D89C-938D-__49B4-8E81-DDBD13F4B48A"
width="0" height="0"></OBJECT>';
} catch (ex) {
alert("Epic Fail!: " +
ex.Description);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<p><b id='SpiceX'>Spice ActiveX
Plugin</b> </p>
<button
onclick='installSpice()'>__Install Spice
Plugin</button>
</p>
</body>
</html>
- Save the file
- You will now need to restart the
ovirt-engine service
EG: systemctl restart
ovirt-engine.service OR service
ovirt-engine restart
- The installer page will now be
available at
http://<url to ovirt
server>/spice.html EX:
http://ovirt.azeroth.net/__spice.html
<http://ovirt.azeroth.net/spice.html>
- Navigate to that page and click the
install button
- IE will prompt you to deploy/install
the SpiceX
cabinet file
- It may gripe about an unsigned or
untrusted source,
acknowledge this an proceed anyways
- If the install succeeds the text
"Spice ActiveX
Plugin" on the page will change to
blank (it's actually
the plugin with null values)
- The console button in the user and
webadmin portals
will now launch the new virt-viwer
spice based console!
Happy Spice Consoling to your VM's
from Windows!
*NOTE*
To uninstall the plugin:
- The below removes the add-on from IE
(EG: removes
knowledge of "application/x-spice")
- pop a command terminal and type:
On Windows XP: regsvr32 /u
"C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\Application
Data\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.__dll"
On Windows 7 regsvr32 /u C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\AppData\virt-viewer\__bin\SpiceX.dll"
- Next we need to remove the rest of
virt-viewer
- Go to add/remove programs and
uninstall virt-viewer,
this removes the rest of virt-viewer
from the system
