SOLVED FreeNAS 11.3-U4.1 Linux VM VNC Issue

[nvasile]

Hello All,

I've been trying to create a Linux VM (Ubuntu 18.04.5 or Debian 10.7.0) in FreeNAS 11.3-U4.1 to host some Steam game servers for me and some friends (Sven Coop, SCP: Secret lab, etc)

Show : Here are screenshots of the VM creation wizard:

These images exclude me setting the VNC resolution to 800x600 which seemed to help some people. I also separately tried using the VirtIO options with the same result: When I flip the switch to turn the VM on, and press the VNC button, I get a ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED page in my browser.

One troubleshooting step I've seen a few times is running these commands:

Code:

sockstat -4 | grep 6403
root     bhyve      98145 7  tcp4   192.168.1.108:6403    *:*

Code:

grep VT-x /var/run/dmesg.boot
VT-x: PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,UG,VPID

I'm not sure how helpful this'll be, but here are the specs of my FreeNAS machine:
Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 0
16 GB 1333 DDR3 ECC
HUANANZHI x79
4x4TB Ironwolf NAS drives (Raid z2)

Please let me know if there is any extra information I can provide which might give some insight as to why vnc is not working for either ubuntu or debian

SOLUTION: My problem was using the built in web-vnc you got when clicking the VNC button on the VM. I downloaded VNC Viewer and used the port listed on the VM (not the one you got when clicking the VNC button) and the IP of my management interface and everything worked!
