Rebooted client, switched browsers, rebooted VMs, rebooted FreeNAS server with no fix.

When I restarted it with no fix, I checked my other VMs and realized that I had no cursor control over any of them. I logged-on to a VM and noticed that I had no cursor. History: I first noticed this problem a week ago, with 11.3-U1. Have attempted to test with Manjaro, but that freezes on every boot (on all my FreeNAS rigs) at "started TLP system startup/shutdown" (I'll leave that for a future thread).
Make cursor visable in virtualmachine install#
Installation settings: Live boot (noVNC cursor works at this time) -> Install with "minimal" programs, download updates -> reboot -> no cursors work Lubuntu 18.04 - latest updates, no cursor response in browser noVNC (cursor works fine in RealVNC and TeamViewer) If whats under the cursor is a filename on the local machine, it will be. Click Apple logo > System Preferences > Accessibility > Display > Cursor and move the Cursor size slider slightly to the right. Ubuntu MATE 18.04 - latest updates, no cursor response in browser noVNC (cursor works fine in RealVNC and TeamViewer) You can adjust its color, including alpha value, to make it more visible. Ubuntu MATE 19.10 - latest updates, no cursor response in browser noVNC (cursor works fine in RealVNC and TeamViewer) Ubuntu 19.10 - latest updates, no cursor response in browser noVNC (cursor works fine in RealVNC and TeamViewer) Can't even configure VMs.ĮDIT: Some information about the Linux VMs I have created a new VM from scratch (Ubuntu) and verified that the behavior begins on the first reboot.Īs of now, FreeNAS is not usable for anything other than SMB. This behavior happens on every VM, every time. A few seconds later, the VM cursor will freeze in place. To configure cursor settings, select Edit > Preferences > Input. When Linux first boots, right at the start of the login/greeter screen, the client's "X" cursor will be visible, and the VM OS cursor will follow the client's. Updated on Cursor settings control cursor behavior for the virtual machines that you run in Workstation Pro.

This persists across reboots of the client, FreeNAS server, and through all browsers on multiple machines (Firefox, Chrome, Safari). None of my Linux virtual machines have controllable mouse cursors in the NoVNC window.

Please post any symptoms, workaround, and any logs that may be helpful to the iX Jira ticket: NOTE: this workaround seems to have a 50/50 shot of fixing the issue with Ubuntu on FreeNAS 11.3/bhyve. Changing your core count from an even to odd count may fix this as well. Related Information Mouse & Keyboard does not function in Virtual Machine after macOS Catalina 10.15.
Make cursor visable in virtualmachine full#
Do the same for networking (Intel to VirtIO). Install VMware Tools on the virtual machine and increase the screen resolution until the mouse pointer has a full range of movement. If you're running FreeNAS 11.3-U1/U2 and your Ubuntu VMs have no cursor response in the noVNC tab and/or constant I/O errors, let me just cut to the chase: shut down your VM, go to VM devices, and edit the Disk to use VirtIO (instead of AHCI).
