[Spice-devel] Userquestion - remote-viewer connection fails with "Connection type could not be determined by URI"

[Stefan Silberstein]

I appreciate the time to answer me.

In the meantime (out of desperation because i needed the virtualmachine for
work) I gave it a go with specifying root as user and not the servers
username "server".

I was able to connect to the virtual Windows10 installation with

remote-viewer spice://root@192.168.178.51:5900

But again - then I dont unterstand why it worked as user and later on with
specifying the user later on (which doesn't work right now anymore)

So it is a permissions problem on my side and I successfully wasted your
time. :/

Sorry about that.

This happens when "users" try to play with the big boys toys :D

Have a nice day you all and thanks for your time.

Stefan
