Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/468

Could not get VNC to work, because it always timed out. I increased them by factor 10 and now it is working fine:

sed -i 's/Websock_native ? 2 : 5/Websock_native ? 20 : 50/' webvirtmgr/webvirtmgr/static/js/novnc/rfb.js
sed -i 's/\'connectTimeout\', 2/\'connectTimeout\', 20/' webvirtmgr/webvirtmgr/static/js/novnc/ui.js

A configuration option for the timeout values would be great.

My fix only increases the timeout-values. I am no longer using WebVirtMgr, the last release was 5 years ago and they haven't even integrated a configuration option for the timeout values as I suggested. So there are probably other errors too.

Take a look at Proxmox (https://www.proxmox.com/) or Cloudmin (http://www.webmin.com/cloudmin.html).
