[Spice-devel] remote-viewer disconnected when unplugging laptop from dock and switching to WIFI network.

2020-12-26 Thread giters
I have installed virt-viewer 9.0 on a Windows laptop and use it to connect to 
virtual machines in a remote Proxmox VE server. I noticed when I unplugging the 
laptop from docking station (where it is connected through a network cable), 
and switching to WIFI network, the virt-viewer window will disappear. I assume 
the virt-viewer is not making attempts to reconnect when network get lost. 

I noticed when I clicked the console button on the Proxmox VE server, it 
actually download a download.vv file. When I click the download.vv file it 
actually uses the remote-viewer.exe to open it. There seems no option in the 
download.vv file or remote-viewer.exe that can configure the retry attempts.

So can we add a feature to the remote-viewer.exe to make it retry for some 
attempts? Just like the Windows RDP when disconnected, it will show "The 
connection has been lost. Attempting to reconnect to your session, Connection 
attempt: 1 of 20". (Example picture here:

Hi Frediano. Thank you for the reply. Yes it's good to have a way to 
distinguish the 2 cases. This is the log when I change the laptop's network 
from lan to wifi. Can we distinguish the case from the log? Or could I submit a 
feature request to distinguish the two cases?
