I had to rebuild my Proxmox server recently and now when I install any Linux distro VM, I lose mouse control as I do the first right click. Any ideas?
Code:
Kernel Version      Linux 4.15.15-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 4.15.15-6 
PVE Manager Version      pve-manager/5.1-52/ba597a64
Thanks!
 
what do you mean you lose mouse control?
 
Here's what I've found out so far.
I run Debian with Cinnamon DE on my laptop and use Vivaldi as my browser. On Debian, Manjaro and Centos testing VMs I could launch a noVNC web page and control the distro's desktop until I tried a right click. After this, most all clicking functionality (left or right) would stop. I was in the office for only a few mins today, but I tested a Windows 10 workstation with Firefox and I had no issues with mouse control. So I wonder what's happening. I will do some more testing later this week when I get back to the office.
 
I've found the issue to be the Vivaldi web browser running on my Debian laptop.
If I use it to connect with noVNC, the mouse/pointer has issues. If I do the same with Firefox on my laptop, I have no issues.
