Hi, This is a bug ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907852 ). Some applications when run first make Xspice unresponsive (loop infinitely, take as much of CPU as it can...). It should work with icewm. Not so much with metacity. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Daly" <kedaly7@xxxxxxxxx> To: spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 1, 2013 8:33:27 PM Subject: Xspice, Using... I am trying to use Xpice as a replacement for VNC or NX.. I regularly use spice in a VM and find it excellent. But I don't want to run a VM just for my local computer. I tried this http://dummdida.blogspot.ca/2012/02/give-spice-try-or-smooth-vnc.html But All I get is a black screen on Fedora 18 both client and server. I tried executing gnome-session instead of metacity.. tried mutter as well, but the screen stays black.. Seems to be connected, and I have an X cursor, but I can't seem to get any window manager working on it. Thanks in advance for any help. _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
