Guest VM's "freeze" using noVNC through Chrome in various environments
What troubleshooting steps would you try?
What additional information could be helpful?
I'm finding that my Guest VM's are "freezing" when using them through Google Chrome.
I think it's an issue with noVNC. Issue is consistent on various guests with different linux distributions.
I'll be using the guest just fine, then the display completely freezes until the display goes gray and says "reloading" and everything returns to normal.
The freezes last anywhere from 5-45 seconds.
When the display is frozen, commands through SSH to the guest perform as expected.
I have not seen this behavior in any other browsers, but my testing has been limited.
I have seen this behavior while accessing the PVE GUI in Chrome in both Mac and Linux environments.
My 192.168.4.0/24 network uses all 10-Gigabit hardware through vmbr0
VM's, WebGUI, corosync, and storage network all use this interface.
2 Nodes in a cluster (only one shown below, but both nodes demonstrate the same behavior)
Each node has a 1gig ethernet port (vmbr5) with a static IP assigned on the 192.168.5.0/24 network (not the .4 as above)
This network runs on physically separate hardware.
I configured the .5 network as a back door for SSH access in the event I'm remote and do something to screw up the .4 LAN
Is this having an effect? I have not changed this config to test it.
Freezing happens whether system load is low, moderate, or high.
