Hello,

I tried to make a VNC service work inside a vm with TigerVNC. I had to find out that there seems to be a problem related to the noVNC console of the vm. You cannot start tigervnc server by systemd in the vm (arch linux), because of this crash:

(EE)

After googling around a bit I found several posts where the very same happens for a vmware installation. Obviously something collides in both Proxmox noVNC and vmware console.
Is there some way to prevent this collision?
