[SOLVED] Console is using SPICE instead of noVNC

[larsen]

Hello,

when opening a console of a VM, it used to open noVNC per default. Now, probably after the update from 7.1 to 7.2, PVE downloads a spice file "pve-spice.vv".

According to https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/SPICE:
"Spice is not enabled by default. To enable it set the Display in the Hardware section of the VM to Spice"
VM display is set to "VirtIO-GPU", so SPICE should not be used afaiu.

I can manually open the noVNC console, but that is tedious compared to the above mentioned ways. I couldn't find a way to configure this in my personal settings.

Buggy? Feature? User error?

I am having this issue too, but my browser is given a file with random letters (for example, JN4qn1Fr)

I, too, am having this problem on 7.2-3.

I've noticed that the NoVNC console works just fine for windows VMs, but not Linux VMs. No idea about BSD VMs.

Found a solution. Highlight "Datacenter" then select "Console Viewer"; from the drop down select "HTML5 (noVNC)".
