Built-in VNC Viewer Freezes on Connection

Featured Replies

I’ve run into a new issue with the built-in VNC viewer. Immediately after connecting to a virtual machine, the viewer freezes. I can't tell if the entire session is locked up or if it's just failing to receive input, but it makes installing Linux over VNC nearly impossible. I see an error in the browser console: `noVNC requires a secure context (TLS). Expect crashes!`.


I have found a temporary solution, If I switch the VM network to virbr0, the freezing issue completely disappears.

I'm seeing this problem across multiple networks. All of them are managed by UniFi and utilize VLANs (a pretty standard setup, I assume).

My workflow right now to install Ubuntu Server remotely is to:

  1. Create a VM with virbr0, install linux.

  2. Enable SSH.

  3. Update the VM's network configuration.

  4. Switch the interface over to br0.

  5. VNC is frozen but SSH is working.

Is anyone else experiencing this same VNC freeze on bridged networks, or does anyone have a permanent fix?
