I just updated all of our nodes in the cluster to proxmox 6.2-12. All VMs run fine and I can SSH into them from my local machine, but when I try to open Console within Proxmox web GUI, it times out and says "Failed to Connect" on the screen.

This is what I get when I run pveversion -v. Do I need to re-install proxmox-ve and others? Thank you for any input.

I just ran apt "install proxmox-ve" and it told me "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."

I ran the "dpkg --configure -a" command and it installed/configured everything. Now everything looks correct, but do I need to re-start any services for the web GUI's Console to work? I cleared all cache and restarted Firefox.

I can actually open a Console to any Windows VM, but not Linux. Do I need to manually allow the connection?
