Using spice is essential when using special language characters in qemu consoles.

My students has to actively select the virt-viewer installation, under the tools section during install (they often fail to do so)

And, the included virt-viewer (old 7.0) sometimes failes with a missing windl.dll -file, the latest 11.0 works just fine, but requires manual editing of the GNS3-gui spice-settings.

@lurendrejer I will update virt-viewer.

Do we need to change the spice settings as well?

I'm using Virt-viewer 10.0 for a while by manually installing it and editing Spice settings on the Preference page. I'm using the default Spice settings and I did not encounter any issue so far. I assume for version 11 should be the same.

I agree virt-viewer 7.0 is quite old (released around 3 years ago) and should be updated to a newer release.

@grossmj
The gui>prefs>general>spice should point to the chosen spice-version.

eg: "%programfiles%\VirtViewer v11.0-256\bin\remote-viewer.exe" spice://%h:%p

I would prefer if the default installation settings included the spice/virt-viewer.

edit
I guess the path should contain: %ProgramW6432% and not %programfiles% - if the GNS3-GUI is a 32bit application.

The GUI is 64-bit. I have updated the path with the correct spice-version. Thanks 👍
