Hi. Still very much a Proxmox beginner. I have a weird issue where auto starting VMs gives me the error:


VM 201 not running
TASK ERROR: Failed to run vncproxy.

No reason is provided. This only happens during a reboot with 'start at boot' enabled. If I start manually it works fine. This happens for a couple of VMs.

Any ideas why/ a possible fix?

Thanks

I just ignore this error. If you got your webUI open with an open "console" tab the webUI will try to VNC into the VM. If that VMs isn'T running yet this VNC connection will fail as there is nothing it could connect to and complain that the VM isn't running. So thats really not an issue as long as VNC is working after the VM has beed started.
