I know I've made #debian and #proxmox behave before but I'm coming up empty in my googling of how to get a fresh Debian install to play nice with the browser based terminal specifically for copying and pasting.

I'm only running the terminal in Debian. No gui.

I tried the serial port trick but that didn't work.

I tried the spice tools but that didn't work.

Yes, I can do it in SSH with putty but I also want to be able to copy paste easily in the browser window from the ProxMox browser console.

If Trixie, suspect Wayland.

@SpaceLifeForm it is Trixie indeed. Perhaps that's why it's hard now... The last time I did this was with Bookworm.

@douglasvb

Which would have been X11 instead of Wayland.

Much is different. This is why I am not in a rush to use Trixie as a daily driver.

I have not done an apt update on Trixie in some time. There is probably many hundreds of updates pending.

@SpaceLifeForm @douglasvb A stock install of Bookworm is Wayland, I'm almost positive?

Edit: or are you referring to the version of Proxmox? Proxmox is based on Debian right?

@scott @SpaceLifeForm I think you're right that ProxMox is Debian-based.

I'm trying to install a fresh copy of Debian in a ProxMox VM that I will turn into a web server with a cloud flare tunnel. It'll have WordPress on it.

I did the same thing with Bookworm but minus the SQL portion of the equation (static websites) last year.
