‘vnc change’ - New syntax in V7.0?

[alex591]

Hi,

I used to use, for example, vnc change 0.0.0.0:100 change vnc 0.0.0.0:100 in the monitor console to change VNC port. Since upgrading to 7.0, I get
Expected ‘password’ after ‘vnc’.

I tried the longer form described in https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/VNC_Client_Access, but couldn’t get that to work either.

I’m guessing the syntax has changed, but I haven’t been able to find anything in the documentation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I rely on this to get a full-screen console on the iPad!

Thanks,

Alex

try this:

change vnc 0.0.0.0:100

Ups, you're right. broken in 7.0-11.

Sorry, I messed up the syntax in my original post there!

Reading that thread, it looks like the best solution at the moment is to just add a unique port as an argument in the QEMU config files. Which, to be fair, might be a more sensible way to go about things anyway...
