Hello again, so - yesterday I worked from home - as I wrote I was able to connect by specifying the user root with "remote-viewer spice:// root@192.168.178.51:5900"
Today I want to connect the exact same way (yesterday i simply closed the remote-viewer window and the server keept on running so the windows-VM was running the whole night) - and I can not connect. Error Message on the console "** (remote-viewer:6146): CRITICAL **: 07:55:52.853: virt_viewer_util_extract_host: assertion 'uri != NULL' failed" Error Message on the popup says translated: Connectiontype could not be determined by URI. IP of the server itself is 192.168.178.51 IP of the Virtual Machine is 192.168.178.64 and i pingable Port 5900 on the server is open: 5900/tcp open vnc remote-viewer --spice-debug spice:⁄⁄192.168.178.51:5900 does not produce a more verbose output :( Update in the meantime But maybe this is helpful to you: I simply started "remote-viewer --spice-debug" Then i got the GUI (which i wasnt even aware it existed). When I choose the same entry on that list - I AM able to connect. So the error only exists only when I try to connect via command line?! (This is when I am able to connect tomorrow via GUI ;) ) Shouldn't this be the same ? I mabe I can help - maybe this is indeed a bug? Stefan Am Mi., 16.
