VNC / noVNC Console
The VNC console (accessible via browser through noVNC) lets you see and interact with the server directly, as if you had a physical monitor attached. Works even when SSH is inaccessible.
02
When to Use Console
- SSH doesn't respond or gives Connection refused error
- You accidentally blocked firewall
- Server hasn't completed boot correctly
- Want to see kernel boot messages
- Lost root password and need to intervene on system
03
How to Access
- Access VirtFusion panel
- Select your server
- Click Console in top bar (or dedicated section)
- A browser window will open with server output
04
Using the Console
Console works like a terminal: you see server output and can type commands.
Tips:
- If screen is black, press Enter: there might just be a cursor waiting for input
- If you see login prompt, enter root then password
- To paste text, use the Clipboard button in console bar (direct mouse paste doesn't work in all browsers)
- You can resize window by clicking Fullscreen
05
Console Shows Errors at Boot
If you see errors during startup, common causes are:
| Message | Cause |
|---|---|
GRUB rescue> | Corrupted bootloader or disk not found |
Kernel panic | Critical kernel error |
fsck running | Automatic filesystem check (wait) |
Emergency mode | Error mounting partition |
Booting... (stuck) | Server stuck during boot |
For most cases, the solution is starting Rescue Mode.
06
Console Won't Open or is Slow
- Try reloading panel page
- Use different browser (Chrome or Firefox recommended)
- Verify server is started (Running status): console doesn't work if server is off
- Disable browser extensions that might interfere with WebSocket
07
Console vs SSH
| VNC Console | SSH | |
|---|---|---|
| Works without network | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Speed | Slower | Fast |
| Copy/paste | Limited | Complete |
| Recommended use | Emergencies and debug | Daily use |
