This morning, I updated my home server from PVE 5.1-43 to 5.1-46. Before the update, I had a handful of QEMU VMs that I configured serial sockets for so that I can use xterm.js (it's much faster when I'm on the go since I have a very restrictive bandwidth that noVNC can't quite make it through). They were working great, and I was really happy with the addition of xterm.
Now, since I upgraded to version 5.1-46 from the no-subscription repositories, my Proxmox server seems to be having issues recognizing the configuration of the QEMU serial sockets. In the hardware tab, I can see the serial ports listed (which was a new addition to the update, as they didn't show up on the GUI before), and they're all there. In /etc/pve/qemu-server/1000.conf (and the rest of the configuration files), the line "serial0: socket" is included.
But when I open the drop-down box on the console button, xterm.js is grayed out. I can still use the command line with "qm terminal 1000" and it opens the serial socket just fine, so everything is configured properly, it's just that the GUI xterm module is acting odd. I can, however, still use xterm.js to access the host server, which works fine, it's just a tad inconvenient.
Was there a change made to xterm.js? Is there a simple one-liner that can fix this? Am I just being dumb and broke something?
If it makes a difference, this Proxmox server was installed using the proxmox-ve_5.1-722cc488-1.iso disk and has simply been upgraded with "apt upgrade" since.
