Hi, I was about to set up a Debian 10 container, but when I start the CT, there is not console output displayed. It only shows a blank screen. I have tested also making the container with a Debian 9 template, but there was not difference. Other container templates such as Ubuntu 20.10 work without any issues.

I have Proxmox VE 6.4-13, which I installed manually using apt on top of Debian 10.8, would that be the problem?

Hello, it is something common that usually happens and I still do not know why. However, a trick I use to use it is the following, from the main shell:

pct enter vmid

for example:

pct enter 100 and it open the lxc container shell.

Thanks for this. Saved me from rebooting my Proxmox. Although, the problem still persists... have you found any fixes since then?
 
Something works for me. When trying to go to the console, in proxmox vms, if there's nothing popping up in the console, try hitting enter, login should appear then.
