Hello, considering that you are using Ubuntu chances are high that you have an old version of spice-gtk and virt-viewer. You must have at least: virt-viewer 3.0 (released in 2015) spice-gtk v0.28 (released in 2015) (built with webdav support) and then you use remote-viewer or virt-viewer to connect to you virtual machine. Click on File -> Preferences and select the folder Best regards, Pavel On Wed, 2017-05-31 at 14:06 +0200, Robert Grasso wrote: > Hello, > > I am a senior Linux sysadmin, and I am just discovering QEMU/KVM at > home, where I am using Virtualbox on Ubuntu 16.04.
