Hi, I've upgraded my Proxmox 1.2-3 to 1.5, and I was in panic because my KVM guest Debian "firewall" installation seemd not to work anymore in regard of connectivity.
At the end I figured out that adding ethernet devices vmbrx make guest "ethx" "shift", so what was eth0 linked to vmbr0 become eth0 linked to vmbr3 after that I add all the 4 interfaces.
I.e. I have vmbr0 that guest sees as eth0 and that I configure as I like.
If then I add vmbr1, eth0 becomes linked to vmbr1 and vmbr0 becomes eth1, forcing me to reconfigure or, as I did, create udev rules for eth assignment.
Can this be considered a "bug" and can be fixed? I mean, new ethernet device should just go up in the stack, without recombining guest order.
Thanks a lot
 
No idea, I've been surprised too, and rebooting did not created it, and I was not able to find how to "force" the creation, so I had to do by hand.
But since I noticed, removing and adding the ethernet device, that "push up" behaviour, I wondered in, in any case, proxmox was doing something up side down.
Btw, I would love to be able to run "Open VNC console" from GNU/Linux (KDE + FF 3.5), at the moment it works only from M$ WinXP, any idea? Yes, I've also Sun JRE installed and libmozillainterfaces-java, but it opens a blank window.

The VNC console works well on Linux Desktops, I used to work on a Ubuntu or Debian desktop (firefox, sun java). I also worked on fedora 12 with the included free java plugins (not from Sun), also working.
 
I've tested with my Kubuntu laptop, and Ubuntu remix netbook, but same thing: a blank window is opened.
I've also used my children's PC, that has Debian + KDE and Firefox they use to surfe the web and play online flash games, but same behaviour.
Konqueror browser does not go any further...
Do you have any idea about what I could be missing?

not really as it works always here.

do you have any firewall in between blocking vnc ports? or and 3D desktop features - try disable.
 
Shame on me, I was missing the sun-java6-plugin! Seems that JRE did not installed it as a dependency (Debian sid 64).
Thanks a lot for Proxmox and your support
