Hi,

I've setup V2 and I've the following problems with VNC:

1. Tab does not work. It allways leaves the console in stead of beeing used in the console.
2. Shift does not work in all cases. Some times it's getting ignores.
3. I'm used to use VNC like this: /usr/sbin/qm vncproxy 107 password ... but "password" is no longer supported.

I've seen this: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Vnc_2.0

When I try to connect with my Linux box and "Remmina" it asks me for a certificate. What do I have to do? The wiki page does not help.

TIA
 
I use Squeeze and Ubuntu LTS , and on neither does remmina work. It seems the remmina version shipped on those releases does not have TLS support.

Tigervnc does. If you find others put info to that wiki page.
 
Thanks, but this does not work for me:
