Description
Testing basic XSpice functionality.
Setup
You will need a current Fedora 19 system, with the xorg-x11-server-Xspice package installed. This will be referred to as the host system. You will also need a client, capable of connecting to a Spice server. On a Fedora 19 system, you would need the virt-viewer and spice-gtk3 packages for that functionality. The client and the host can be the same machine for testing purpose.
How to test
- On the host, start the Spice server
Xspice --disable-ticketing --xsession /usr/bin/gnome-terminal :1 --port 5900 &
- On the client, connect to the spice server
remote-viewer spice://<address-of-host-server>:5900
The address of the spice server can be localhost if the client and server are on the same compute. - Operate the terminal in the client window
Expected Results
The following must be true to consider this a successful test run. Be brief ... but explicit.
- The server should launch with a fair number of standard Xorg messages
- The client should connect quickly and present you an empty X desktop with a gnome-terminal
- Everything should work as expected
