RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-09-08 13:27:00 UTC 
How can we get ESR Firefox 31 ?

From the log it looks like it is working, the client was started and connection established. So it could be an unrelated spice connection issue.

spice-xpi works fine with ff 24.x using same RHEVH setup.
Comment 9 Martin Stransky 2014-09-11 10:43:02 UTC 
Hm, even the spice-xpi from RHEL6 (spice-xpi-2.7-25) works fine with FF31 when it's rebuild on Fedora. Seems to be something RHEL6 specific and/or we need to rebuild the plugin with the latest FF on RHEL6.
Comment 10 Martin Stransky 2014-09-11 11:34:03 UTC 
Works for me on RHEL6, i686 box, FF31 and spice-xpi-2.7-25.el6.i686. Please make sure you have the spice plugin enabled in about:plugins.
Comment 11 Christophe Fergeau 2014-09-11 11:55:38 UTC 
NB: Martin's testing has been done through https://teuf.fedorapeople.org/plugins/test.html if I'm not mistaken.
The test page works fine for me too as long as I make sure to enable the spice-xpi plugin (there's an info bar showing up at the top of the webpage to enable that).

When testing in rhev34, I've seen some issues with one VM, it seems no host/port get set on the spice-xpi plugin js object by the user portal. Another VM works just fine on the same session.

If the test page works fine, but there are more issues with the user portal, I'll need help to figure out  the user portal javascript.
Comment 12 Martin Stransky 2014-09-11 12:00:39 UTC 
I guess we also should enable the spice-xpi plugin by default in Firefox. I'm investigating this possibility.

But please note that NPAPI plugins are going to be removed from Firefox soon. The next Firefox ESR version (Firefox 38) may not support them, the spice-xpi should be rewritten as an extension.
Comment 14 Jiri Belka 2014-09-11 13:39:49 UTC 
I contacted Christophe via mail, he confirmed seeing some issues on my RHEVM setup as well.
Comment 15 Christophe Fergeau 2014-09-11 14:52:46 UTC 
Sorry but you haven't tested any of the things I asked you to test (test page, or trying with an ovirt account where 2 VMs are running so that you can check if it fails for all of them or just one). If it's not working for you with the test page for example, then you are most likely seeing a different bug.
Comment 16 Tomas Pelka 2014-09-11 20:26:26 UTC 
spice-xpi is working for me with firefox-31.1.0-5.el6_5
Comment 17 Jiri Belka 2014-09-15 08:58:05 UTC 
even spice-xpi test page doesn't work for me, i see popup to allow spice but then nothing:

fyi - your 'it works' is very vague. i stated i use 64bit rhel, from #16 is not clear what platform is that.
Comment 18 Jiri Belka 2014-09-15 09:07:22 UTC 
i don't get it, i did 'setenforce 0', tried again, it worked, i did 'setenforce 1' and tried again (expecting it  won't work) and it worked even on test page.
Comment 19 Christophe Fergeau 2014-09-15 09:55:50 UTC 
When using spice-xpi, you do not need a .vv file, spice-xpi and .vv file are mutually exclusive (if you use one to access a vm, the other mechanism is not used at all)
Comment 20 Christophe Fergeau 2014-09-15 09:57:08 UTC 
If the test page does not work for you at some point, I'd be interested in seeing errors from the javascript console (if any). You can access it from the Tools/Web development menu.
Comment 21 Jiri Belka 2014-09-15 10:40:35 UTC 
works for me after reboot, something odd with my rhel then.
Comment 22 Jiri Belka 2014-09-18 13:29:38 UTC 
Well well well... mkrcmari told me, it's not working sometimes even for him. Any details?

The support for old exension was enabled in RHEl builds of firefox which solved the issue.
