NICE DCV Server on Ubuntu 20 - virtual session via web browser - "Connecting" indefinitely

Question

Having followed the instructions for installing DCV Server on Ubuntu 20.04 as described here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dcv/latest/adminguide/setting-up-installing-linux.html

I set authentication method to `system` in /etc/dcv/dcv.conf

I'm trying to access a virtual session via the web browser (https://:8443). I see the login screen. But when I put in my login information it advances me to a page that says "Connecting" with a loading icon, and then it hangs here indefinitely. At some point I was able to get past "Connecting" but only to a black screen with the DCV UI bar at the top.

Output of `dcvserver --version` is:
```
DCV server version 2022.0 (r12760) - 41f5cb94821a66d5faa1443fb73256f5b41424ca
```

Checking the service logs for dcvserver doesn't show any obvious error message.

Any ideas what might be going on or how I can diagnose further?

Thanks!

Answer

Hi Rodney,

If I run `lsof -PiTCP` I am able to see numerous connections established to my home IP with `dcvserver`, which is where I'm accessing the DCV Web UI from, yes. Is there something else I should check? I assumed the issue was not the connection only because I am able to (a) login and (b) advance to a mostly black screen with the exception of the DCV menu bar at the top.

Yes, the security group is set to allow connections on port 8443.

Thank you!
