Hello,

I just installed WebvirtCloud and connected an KVM Host. I see all VMs and can restart them, I also can open the console (changed the port to 80/tcp). Lines that are already there are displayed without an problem - but when I type, I see nothing and when I hit enter I only get garbage as an output (the dotes at the end) if I reconnect the console, I can see that lines in clear text - but still new lines or input will be formated like dotes.

I didn't find any help for this in the past issues - is there a setting I'm missing?
I'm using Console type: spice - that was the default.

Update: When I change it to VNC console - everything is working fine. But for that I have to reboot all VMs, is there a trick to get SPICE to work?

Before I used virt-manager. When I used webvirtcloud, for it to work I had to switch from SPICE to VNC.

unfortunately it is driver problem with related qemu and spice. There is some open issue on spice page. They recommends make display driver "vga" to circumvent situation.
