Description of problem: SpiceX.cab is not offered for installation when attempting to connect through "Browser Plugin" to a VM Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.6.0-0.18 How reproducible: 100 % Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a fresh install of win 7 2. Attempt to connect to a VM using "Browser plugin" using IE (either 8 or 11, neither works) Actual results: Nothing happens Expected results: User should be offered to download and install SpiceX.cab. Additional info: 3.5 worked without any additional configuration, so this appears to be a regression
no oVirt blocker as .cab delivery is not integrated there
Michal, could you please comment next moment: 1. Go to admin portal 2. Select VM 3. "Console options" dialog has selected "Browser plugin". 4. Press "Console" button Nothing happens. "Console Client Resources" page doesn't point to any additional plugins for IE. How do we get working IE for this particular case?
you should be able to get it to install manually via https://ENGINE/ovirt-engine/services/files/spice/SpiceX_x64.cab
Michal: * How do I install this file ? I can download it. What next? SpiceX_x64.cab is .cab file. PkgMgr.exe utility does not recognize this file. It cannot be copied somewhere to system. It should be installed be IE as a plugin. RHEV3.5 has a feature to install this file as a plugin for IE. RHEV3.5 asks to install this file as add-on to Internet Explorer. RHEV3.6 does not provide this. The bug is still TestBlocker.
something like "pkgmgr /ip /m:SpiceX_x64.cab" doesn't work? what is it complaining about? yes, sure, it's supposed to be installed within IE, but this should work as well. You can also just get the .msi files from the same location(virt-viewer-x64.msi, usbdk-x64.msi, usbclerk-x64.msi) and install those
pkgmgr.exe refuses to install this .cab file I have installed all this .msi files. They are listed at "Console Client Resources". Nevertheless, ActiveX \ Browser plugin doesn't work. .msi files do not provide this plugin. This bug remains as a TestBlocker
Browser plugin installation prompt shows up, but if I click on the Install button on the bottom, page only refreshes. However sometimes different installation prompt shows up (not in browser but system prompt), but that also never actually runs. Tested on 3.6.1-5 Windows 7 x64 SP1 IE11
RHEV 3.6.0 BETA2 is out, any open bugs are moved to the BETA3 milestone.
There is a new problem in 3.6.2 builds (git tag rhev-3.6.2-1): spiceX.cab file is not offered to users, because link /usr/share/ovirt-engine/files/spice -> /usr/share/spice is missing in `rhevm-backend` package, because line ln -s /usr/share/spice "%{buildroot}%{engine_data}/files/spice" was removed from `ovirt-engine.spec.in`.
Created attachment 1111912 [details] Fails screenshot Hello. I have created symlink. ln -s /usr/share/spice /usr/share/ovirt-engine/files/spice But, SpiceX.cab installation fails. See screenshot. rpm -qf /usr/share/spice/SpiceX.cab rhevm-spice-client-x86-cab-3.6-5.el6.noarch

Hi Andrei, the screenshot (attachment 1111912 [details]) shows that SpiceX.cab file is available to the browser so the installation should be similar to 3.6.1. It works for me with version 3.6.1.3-0.1.el6 and following steps to allow activeX installation in IE: 1. Sign into webadmin in IE 2. Click 'Gear' icon button > Internet Options 3. Go to 'Security' tab > 'Trusted sites' 4. Add webadmin site to trusted sites using 'Sites' button 5. Reset security level of 'Trusted sites' zone to 'Low' using 'Custom level...' button Tested on: RHEVM 3.6.1.3-0.1.el6 Win 7 SP1 32b IE 10
jniederm thanks. It helps, and it works! The above steps should be added to RHEV documentation. Problem with symlink still exists. It should be fixed.

Created attachment 1115179 [details] install prompt popup There is still no way to install the plugin, clicking the popup displayed on this screenshot/attachment just refreshes the page. Domain is in trusted sites and security level is low. RHEV 3.6.2-9 Windows 7 x64 IE 11
Petr, please confirm: 1. that hot-fixes from Microsoft are installed on your Windows. See comment #18. It is essential to have updated Windows. 2. also, please confirm that you _can_ install cab file from RHEV 3.5. p.s. I can confirm that I can install cab file from RHEVM 3.6. (After creating symlink)
Sorry for my error, with system fully updated this works correctly.
