missing spicec client

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Spicec has been best spice client. It has nice user interface, no
annoying toolbar or icons, it has hotkeys for ungrab mouse and
fullscreen. Everything needed can be configured via command line. And it
hasn't much dependencies.
But Spicec has been removed as obsolete in spice 0.12.6. What is a
replacement for it?

I tried spice-gtk, but for these reasons it's a worse client:
- My virtualization host has installed minimal needed set of programs. I
need install gtk libraries only for this one program there (which is a
small minus for spicy).
- It has (for me) a useless toolbar which only consumes space on my
screen. Hotkey for showing/hiding it will be nice.
- But much worse is that I can't ungrab mouse when I click on its
window. I tried google for finding hotkey to ungrab mouse but I didn't
find anything. Only way to ungrab mouse is to halt guest, which makes
this client absolutely useless.

I tried virt-viewer too
- It depends on spice-gtk, gtk2, gtk3 and many other libraries
- It can't run because I am not using libvirt.

So spicec has been obsolete without replacement. I need simple spice
client which can connect to address and port specified via command line,
with hotkeys for ungrab mouse and fullscreen. It would be nice if it
didn't have too many dependencies similar to spicec.

Thanks,
Martin
