[SOLVED] Can never connect to console when building VM

[akulbe]

I'm trying to install a Debian VM on the Proxmox host.

When I went through the "Create VM" process, I picked all defaults. I pointed to the ISO that I downloaded to /var/lib/vz/templates/iso/.

Every time I attempt to start the VM and connect to the console, it fails.

I have two Nvidia GPUs in the host, but no nvidia drivers installed. It's just loading "nouveau" at this point.

The journal on the system says…

Feb 03 10:42:19 proxmox pvedaemon[1455]: <root@pam> successful auth for user 'root@pam'

Is it safe to assume the Nvidia devices wouldn't be the cause of this? Second, how do I get console connections working, so I can actually install VMs?

Thanks.

I found my answer in another forum post.

The answer was to enable "Websocket" support in the reverse proxy.
