[SOLVED] qm terminal [vmid] results in nothing - no logs, no errors?

[GarrettB]

Hi, need help troubleshooting a no-response behavior after opening an xterm.js window for a VM.

I created a new VM with Ubuntu 18.04 and selected settings like my other VMs:

• I have "serial0: socket" and "sockets: 1" in the config file. I also changed the grub file to read "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" and updated grub, rebooted, and qemu-guest-agent is installed, etc. Everything ordinary for my setups.
• I can access VM via port 22 with Putty without problems.
• I am having no issues on other VMs with the xterm.js access. Also, noVNC works okay and shows tty1 in the console screen.
• I have inspected the browser's console and network responses...no errors. Browser console reads "xtermjs starting".
• I attempted "qm terminal [vmid]" from the node and

Any suggestions on what to check next?

Also, this shows in syslog after xterm.js launch attempt (no apparent errors):

I just discovered after reading through dmesg again that grub was still showing ttys0 instead of ttyS0. although I'm sure I updated it, after running update-grub again and rebooting, I'm good to go.
