Need to restart PVEPROXY all the time

[Clusterfriend]

Hi Everybody

I have little problem:
After opening and closing (x) several novnc consoles I loose acces to my Proxmox GUI.

As far as I can see this this is caused due to the fact that the novnc consoles are still open. (no End Time shown in Tasks window at the bottom)

The only way to regain access to the gui is by ssh-ing "/etc/init.d/pveproxy restart" which closes the still open vnc connections and immediatelly gives me back control of the gui

But as I need to just quickly check on several vms to see if everything working fine several times a day, this gets pretty frustrating.


Am I the only one with this proplem?
Is there maybe a "correct" way to close the novnc consoles so the connection really gets closed?
Or do you have another possible solution?

Thanks in advance
Dan

What OS/Browser do you use exactly?

 

[Clusterfriend]

Windows 8.1 with the latest Chrome Browser

 

[Clusterfriend]

any ideas?

So the noVNC connection do not close when after you close the console windows? Is that reproducible?

 

[Clusterfriend]

yes its reproducable.

 

[dietmar]

yes its reproducable.

OK, I can reproduce it also with Chrome. Will investigate further ...

You are not the only one. When more than 5 to 6 different users on different Workstations open their W8.1 or W2012 VM's in noVNC, this dramatically slows down also in actual firefox. I'm doing the same, restarting the pveproxy. This helps a little. The same thing happens when using spiceproxy with a little more than 6 to 8 users. So my advice is to use mstsc in these cases, to get direct access to the VM's.

Using chrome as well, I get this in the logs when it happens..
