Hello all !

This morning, i wanted access to a console of a VM but this error appears :

no connection : Connection timed out
TASK ERROR: command '/bin/nc -l -p 5900 -w 10 -c '/usr/sbin/qm vncproxy 106 2>/dev/null'' failed: exit code 1

So i tried another one and it was the same problem...
What it may come ? How can i resolve this problem without reboot proxmox ?

Many thanks in advance for your help !

PS : my pve version :

Try with different web browser.

failed: exit code 1

Hello snowman66 !
Thanks for your quick reply !

I've tried with the latest Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet explorer but with no success.
I don't think the problem come from the web browser because the error is : command '/bin/nc -l -p 5900 -w 10 -c '/usr/sbin/qm vncproxy 106 2>/dev/null'' failed: exit code 1
It's looks like a internal error of proxmox.
 
Any hint in /var/log/syslog? The VM is running?

Hi dietmar ! Thanks for your reply !

All VM that i've tried to view console are running.

In syslog, i've got no information that could help me :

May 14 08:44:32 proxmox1 pvedaemon[541263]: <root@pam> successful auth for user 'admin@pve'
May 14 08:44:42 proxmox1 pvedaemon[544020]: command '/bin/nc -l -p 5900 -w 10 -c '/usr/sbin/qm vncproxy 106 2>/dev/null'' failed: exit code 1
May 14 08:44:42 proxmox1 pvedaemon[541620]: <admin@pve> end task UPID:proxmox1:00084D14:0B57EA00:5191DD50:vncproxy:106:admin@pve: command '/bin/nc -l -p 5900 -w 10 -c '/usr/sbin/qm vncproxy 106 2>/dev/null'' failed: exit code 1

and nothing interesting after

Does it help if you shutdown, then restart this VM?

Good idea but i think really there is a problem with the Console program of Proxmox.
Because all my VM can't be reachable with the Console program of promox.
I've tried your suggestion but i wasn't lucky :/
Is there a command line that it could restart this module ? (i don't really think there is a module named "console" and can be restarted separately)
I will try to restart apache and see what's happened.

EDIT : Nothing has changed with the restart of apache. Maybe java of my computer has a problem : i will remove it and reinstall it.

SUCCESS ! : It was Java ! Removing and reinstalling java has resolved this problem !
Thanks everyone for your help ! This error has really got me stuck !
