VNC Viewer on Windows: Unable to access VMs GUI
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2024 12:18:49 UTC
Hellos, When I was still on FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE I was able to access some Linux VMs GUI using VNC Viewer on my Windows PC. After I upgraded to 14-RELEASE, this changed: I can connect to the VMs, but the GUI desktop is frozen. The mouse cursor isn't moving at all and the Desktop doesn't load like before. I start all my VMs the same way: bhyve -c N -m NG -w -H \ -s 0,hostbridge \ -s 4,virtio-blk,/usr/local/bhyve-vms/DISTRONAME/distroname.img \ -s 5,virtio-net,tapN \ -s 8,hda,play=/dev/dsp,rec=/dev/dsp \ -s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:59XX,w=1680,h=1050 \ -s 30,xhci,tablet \ -s 31,lpc -l com1,stdio \ -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \ distroname I would then connect to a.b.c.d:59xx using VNC Viewer and I'd get the Linux/Windows Desktop. Not anymore! Is there something I need to do to fix the issue? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 In an Internet failure case, the #1 suspect is a constant: DNS.
