Proxmox 4 unable to open LXC console via GUI

[x86fantini]

Hi, i have installaed proxmox 4.0, release 4.0-57 and i have succesfully created my first LXC container on top of ZFS pool (yes, snapshot and cloning works like a charm)

the problem is when i click "console" after containers has been marked as running, proxmox tells me to press "ctrl +a ctrl +a" to log into container or "ctrl +a +q" to exit. Unfortunatly non works, so from GUI the container is unusable.

Anyone with this issue or with a hand on how to sort it out?

thank you
S

it seems is the template i have used. i have download an openvz template, hoping it was ok. Now instead i have used the proxmox4 gui to download the cento7 lxc image and i have managed to open console...
ah, the "faulty" template was Debian 7 Wheezy, i will try now to download another template

Hi,
or templates are configured to work with novnc not all container templates are configured,
but you can always enter a container on the command line by using pct enter <vmid>.
