I've upgraded some packages (full upgrade will be made in the following days) and now the javascript console tab is missing.

I did many times before this "partial" upgrade with no issue at all (i'm just upgrading the web interface)

Congratulations and thank's to all the team proxmox ve.

Merci.

Yes, it's now incorporated into the shell/console tab (depending on configuration; also see datacenter -> options).

A VM is using always NoVNC - only if you have a serial console configured with Linux, xterm.js can be used. Is this the case?

Yes, I have a serial console configured, because I'm able to use xterm.js by opening it manually from the "Console" button

There is no change here, opening the xterm.js console via the "_Console" button on top right should still work.

Coneng · May 16, 2018

Is there a way to upgrade from the iso image (CD/DVD) of v5.2

EuroDomenii · May 16, 2018

Congrats for the new release. Hopefully, btrfs integration with proxmox will land on https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Roadmap ( see https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/p...possible-licensing-issues-zfs-on-linux.32561/)

Yes that work. What is not working is xterm.js set as default that should be opened also by accessing the "Console" tab.

This works for containers but not for VMs, as by default a VM cannot be accessed via xterm.js.

"partial" upgrades are not supported in PVE - see the docs and the built-in upgrade functionality. always use "apt-get update; apt-get dist-ugprade", "apt update; apt dist-upgrade" or "pveupdate; pveupgrade".

Great, thanks for the upgrade!

Hi!

Well... It doesn't work.

Do I need to put some new repository in the sources.list?

Thanks.

My repos are set exactly as the non-sub ones are listed in that link and when I run apt update && apt dist-upgrade it's not reacting with an upgrade... just:
