@borisstoyanov @vladimirpetrov I think we had a discussion about this when testing the VMware 7.0 support - should this be fixed?

[borisstoyanov]

@nvazquez @weizhouapache please help me understand, since some time we've moved to noVNC console and afaik the old console is not available any more, and it looks like VMware 7 is not working with the old console. If all of this I understood right, why should we be looking to fix this? Excuse me if I didn't get the issue you describe, but could you share reproductions steps if it's still requiring fix.

@borisstoyanov
Hi Bobby, novnc is default console, but old console is not removed yet
You can try the following 2 steps
(1) update global setting 'novnc.console.default to 'false'
(2) open a vm console

it works on other hypersivors.

I personally don't see a reason to support the old console anymore @nvazquez @weizhouapache.

@vladimirpetrov @borisstoyanov @nvazquez
since most of you think we do not need to support old console on vmware 7. let's close this issue.
