VNC not running on PVE 6.3-6

[ducs4rs]

I am trying to VNC into VMs. I've setup ports via Monitor on one VM and adding a line to the conf file in another. The problem I am having is I get a connection refused from my VNC client and when I check for the VNC ports on PVE I don't see any. Is there a service I need to start to get VNC working? Consoles work on the VMs..

I must not have explained myself well. I followed the Wiki link you posted. When I try to connect the VNC client fails. I added a vnc line to the VMs config file

root@pve:/etc/pve/qemu-server# cat 100.conf
args: -vnc 0.0.0.0:100
balloon: 0
bios: ovmf
boot: order=scsi0
cores: 2

I don't see a listening port on the PVE server

when I try to connect to port 100 with VNC client I get an error







It appears to me Proxmox is not opening the port.

kvm 13383 root 39u IPv4 2559746 0t0 TCP *:6000 (LISTEN)

qemu adds 5900 to the port you give it

qemu adds 5900 to the port you give it

So if I use 100 it should be 6000? If so it still doesn't work

 

[dcsapak]

the

root@pve:/etc/pve/qemu-server# lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN

part shows that it listens on port 6000, if it does not work, the error must be elsewhere, e.g. the network

If I used the correct IP address maybe it wouldn't have failed Thanks for pointing this out. When I used <serverip>:6000 instead of <clientip>:6000 it worked. I'm trained..
