[SOLVED] serial console connection

[franco]

Hi Silke,

No problem at all. If the problem reappears let me know. Reordering the options wouldn't be an issue although in practice their order shouldn't matter since they are accessed by the boot code as needed.


Cheers,
Franco

For VMs one mostly starts with a VGA image which doesn't have serial enabled.

That's why I enabled it after installation.

The standard VGA based console in Proxmox has a few disadvantages, e.g. it doesn't support cut & paste (at least not easily), that is why I used the serial based xterm.js console.
As I said, it works, but only after I changed 'onifconsole' to 'on'.

You could add a Desktop VM to your OPNsense VM Network and connect to it via SPICE from your Laptop or PC and have pretty much the same experience as you were actually using a real desktop to manage everything! :)

Did this once in the past and even my triple monitor setup was completely useable with it !!
