Solved Virt Viewer on Windows connection issues

[Emad R]

I dont get it VNC works like charm but wanted to enhance it and use virt viewer but it does not work easily, and I tried placing the IP of the KVM host and not the VM but still errors out

spice://192.168.1.32:5900

the downloaded vv has localhost IP 127.0.0.1 for some reason

For the VMs you want to access using virt-viewer, change Address from localhost only to All interfaces.
You might have to configure your firewall to allow access for port 5900 and higher.

Your VM is only set to allow localhost address only.

Yup your right, and we had to install VIrt-Manager on Linux GUI OS just to tick this option cause it is easier, cockpit-machines needs to have more advanced options.

On the hypervisor, you can use sudo virsh edit vm1 to make the changes.

# Localhost only
#
<graphics type='spice' autoport='yes'>
      <listen type='address'/>
</graphics>

# To listen to all interfaces
#
<graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'>
      <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
</graphics>
