Hi all,

The title says it all. When attempting to connect to the console via web-interface, I get a blank screen with a cursor. I'm currently using Firefox. The console worked just fine in 5.2-6. Connecting to the node via ">_Shell" works just fine.

Syslog around the time I tried to connect:
Code:

Aug 20 13:29:26 Wash systemd-logind[907]: Removed session 36.
Aug 20 13:29:26 Wash pmxcfs[1767]: [status] notice: received log

Steps I have tried:
  • Clear browser history/cache
  • Tried IE and Chrome
  • Attempted to SSH from node console to add SSH key

Same problem for me.

Edit: As a workaround, connecting via lxc-attach is still working. e.g. lxc-attach 102 from the host shell.

your screenshot1 shows the host console

your screenshot2 shows a container console, where it can be necessary to press 'enter' or another key once to actually get output (because the container already sent a console output which nobody captured)

Which is what he wrote: Host console (">_Shell") works fine, container console does not.

Pressing Enter in the container console does not solve it. Like i wrote: This worked in 5.2-6 and stopped working in 5.2-7.
 
can you post the container config?

Not sure how this could help - i am running 200+ containers on this cluster. All their consoles stopped working after updating to pve-manager 5.2-7.

Here you go:

Code:
cat /etc/pve/nodes/pmx02/lxc/10271.conf
arch: amd64
cores: 2
hostname: dd-apollo13
memory: 4096
nameserver: 8.8.8.8 9.9.9.9
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr000,gw=XXXXXXXX,hwaddr=9A:80:43:F4:70:F8,ip=XXXXXXX/32,type=veth
ostype: ubuntu
rootfs: ceph-lxc:vm-10271-disk-1,size=40G
searchdomain: schinzel.org
swap: 256
 
did you shutdown and start the container after installing the package?

That did the trick, thanks!

So solution for now is
  1. add
    Code:
    deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pvetest
    to your
    Code:
    /etc/apt/sources.list
  2. Code:
    apt-get update ; apt-get install lxc-pve=3.0.2+pve1-1
  3. shutdown and restart all containers
  4. remove pvetest from sources.list again ;)
Thanks again :)

Did you already updated your Nodes to the latest version? If not, try this first.

Hello,

Yes I did, as mentioned above. I noticed my web ui update to "Virtual Environment 5.3-8" from 5.3-7 after doing the above.

Thanks
