CTRL-Alt-Delete not working in VNC console

[jhammer]

I cannot get CTRL-Alt-Delete to work in the VNC console in Proxmox. I have tried from multiple clients/browsers. I've tried doing CTRL-Alt-Delete on both Windows and Linux VM's. I can't get it to work.

I had been testing proxmox and it was working fine. I recently reinstalled my proxmox server using the 1.5 installer and it hasn't worked since.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

you mean if you click on the "Send Ctrl-Alt-Del" button on the top menu of the VNC console window with no result?
you can also send these keys via the monitor console (via admin interface, qemu monitor)

both should work without issues, what destop OS and browser/java plugin do you use?

I was trying using the "Send Ctrl-Alt-Del" button on the top menu of the VNC console. That was not working for me.

I tried this and it worked:

sendkey ctrl-alt-delete

Now I am able to do this via the button as well. I had migrated the windows machine I have been testing this on from vmware. It had a light blue background when it was not working. Now it has a darker blue background as if video drivers were installed.

I'm not sure if I was just not waiting long enough or if the sendkey command triggered something...I suspect I wasn't waiting long enough. Going back and testing it in the linux VM, that is working too. I just wasn't testing correctly.

Thanks for your help.
