v4.0 LXC container problems in GUI (can't view / control)

I did a clean install of v4.0 on 2 machines and setup a cluster. I created an LXC container on each machine (100 and 101). The containers are stored on an LVM volume group (each machine has it's own LVM volume group).

Everything was working fine yesterday (when I installed and set it up).

Today when I logged into the GUI, I couldn't view the names of the containers (I could only see 100 and 101) and when I clicked on on 100 or 101 in the GUI, the right side of the screen was blank. There was no option to control the container (start / stop etc).

I rebooted both machines and now I still can't see or control the containers, so there is no way to start or manage them in the GUI.

Any suggestions on what's going on and how to fix it?

Thanks.
 
Since they are pretty new setups... I ended up just wiping and doing a clean install. I just finished setting them up now.

What I did different was.... when I set them up yesterday, I immediately did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. There were some packages which showed they were available for upgrading. I am not sure if one of the upgraded packages caused a problem.

When I cleaned and reinstalled today, I skipped doing the package upgrades on the machines. Also, when I setup my LVM volume groups in the GUI, I did *not* selected shared this time (I selected shared yesterday when I set them up).

So we'll see how it goes today... if I run into the same problem, I will post back to this thread.

Thanks!
 
Heh... I figured out the problem. Wish I had noticed it *before* I did a reinstall.. but oh well.

Seems like the GUI does not render properly when using the Edge Browser in Windows 10. I was initially using Chrome to manage Proxmox, but today I switched to the Edge browser which I had opened and it looks like the Proxmox GUI does not render properly in Edge.

So it doesn't look like there's any issues with Proxmox, just rendering the GUI in the new Windows 10 Edge browser seems to be broken.

Hopefully this helps someone else who runs into the same issue....
