Hello,
how can Proxmox make the Console screen show the Terminal's current commands above the bottom view of the Console screen.
The Proxmox console shows the current commands about 3 lines below the bottom view, which makes things difficult.
 
Hi,
Which console are you running?
Different consoles will give you different alternatives and functions.
I like the NoVNC and spice, but in some situations I'm obliged to use the Java VNC.

Best regards,
 
Hello,
I am running Proxmox Virtual Environment Version: 3.0-20/0428106c.
I view from Mozilla Firefox 30.0.
 
OK, you need to update to a later version so you have new options. This includes the NoVNC.
Right now you only have the VNC Java version, and that also has changed with the new version. For the Spice to work you need to edit the Graphics option.

Best regards,
 
Ok, I followed the update guide from here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads.
I don't think it worked, as when I check the new Kernel with command #pveversion -v, the output is:
Code:
root@proxmox:~# pveversion -v

Yes, the Proxmox GUI in Firefox says the Version is only 3.1-21/93bf03d4.
 
OK, have you modified your apt-sources to the pve-no-subscription?
After that, run
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
Do this with all your VMs in shutdown mode and make sure you have backed them all up.
After the update, reboot the host and clear the cache from your browser.

Best regards,
 
Thank you.
Interestingly, when I edited /etc/apt/sources.list to:
# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com, NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-no-subscription
I then went to change /etc/apt/sources.list.d and all lines were gone.

I ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.
The command pveversion -v shows the same output:
Code:
root@proxmox:/etc/apt# pveversion -v

I did notice an error on the update and upgrade:

OK, the enterprise is configured, see errors.

And the pve-no-subscription is not configured. See Ign.

You need to adjust these and then update.

Best regards,
 
Thanks, but I'm a bit confused on what is the enterprise and what is the pve-no-subscription.
I'm assuming /etc/apt/sources.list is the pve-no-subscription and the sources.list is the enterprise?
sources.list shows no code in it at all?

How or what do I need to adjust?
I assume I then run the command # apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, once the adjustments are made?
 
Thanks, that cleared it up.
However, still when I navigate to /etc/apt/sources.list.d there is no code there.
I typed in # deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-enterprise
but it wouldn't save.
I then tried # sudo nano sources.list.d and error:
-bash: sudo: command not found.

How am I to update Proxmox please?
 
Proxmox Console still hiding bottom lines.

Do these details help?
