The virtual machine console viewer application code
dcbb6929d0
The motivation for this dialog started with rhbz #1310624, where it was reported that foreign menu was causing too many debug messages to be printed to the console, because remote viewer had a timeout of 5 seconds to refresh the ISO list automatically. As a workaround, the timeout was adjusted for 5 minutes, but it could cause more problems, such as inconsistencies between what was shown by remote viewer and what the server had configured. Another issue caused by displaying the ISO files as a menu item was that if the list was too long, it would take all the available space on the screen. In the end, a menu item was not the correct choice of UI component for this use case. In order to solve both problems, we now present the ISO list as a dedicated dialog, where the refresh of ISO list is triggered manually by the user and the list is contained within the dialog, by displaying de files in a treeview.

Virt Viewer =========== Virt Viewer provides a graphical viewer for the guest OS display. At this time is supports guest OS using the VNC or SPICE protocols. Further protocols may be supported in the future as user demand dictates. The viewer can connect directly to both local and remotely hosted guest OS, optionally using SSL/TLS encryption. Virt Viewer is the GTK3 application. Virt Viewer 3.0 was the last release that supported GTK2. Virt Viewer uses the GTK-VNC (>= 0.4.0) widget to provide a display of the VNC protocol, which is available from http://gtk-vnc.sourceforge.net/ Virt Viewer uses the SPICE-GTK (>= 0.30) widget to provide a display of the SPICE protocol, which is available from: http://www.spice-space.org/download.html Use of either SPICE-GTK or GTK-VNC can be disabled at time of configure, with --without-gtk-vnc or --without-spice-gtk respectively. Virt Viewer uses libvirt to lookup information about the guest OS display. This is available from http://libvirt.org/ Further information about the Virt Viewer application can be found on the Virt Manager website: http://virt-manager.org/ Feedback should be directed to the mailing list at http://virt-manager.org/mailinglist.html -- End
