Meshcentral: User Terminal seems to be broken on 0.3.7-l version of mesh

[UnP1u9]

User Terminal seems to be broken on 0.3.7-l version of mesh, connecting it just shows black screen nothing else.

[Ylianst]

Tested the terminal on a few servers and it works for me. Probably not a version specific problem.

[UnP1u9]

facing it after an update so thought that might be the issue, it says connected but you can't type any command, same works fine for Linux.

[Ylianst]

Your original issue is to vague. You updated the server and the terminal is a black screen on Windows computers only? Does the same happen for remote desktop? More details appreciated. Thanks.

[UnP1u9]

Yep, on windows only. I am able to take remote access and files access but while taking remote terminal, I am getting black screen only, it says connected but nothing is in the terminal, action button at right corner also doesn't shows popup.

[UnP1u9]

My bad, my question seems live it broke the terminal on the user end😁. It is at the server end from where i can't take remote terminal access.

[UnP1u9]

like this.

Hi, did you got time to check this, still not working, unable to take remote access to terminal.

Is this happening for _all_ Windows devices? or only one/some?
I would recommend that you try opening the device's "Console" screen, use the Agent Action dialog to first "Clear the core", then use it to "Upload default server core", and see if that fixes it.

[UnP1u9]

It's happening with all windows devices,sure will try core cleaning options tomorrow and will let you know.

Thnx.

[UnP1u9]

nope, still not working.

got this error on console while connecting....

What version of the server are you using? That error about win-terminal not being found suggests you are using an old server as the agent binary is out of date.

[krayon007]

Essentially the issue is that the agent binary is not updated, which is probably the underlying issue, if you didn't specifically disable auto-update.

[UnP1u9]

Just updated the server,.

As per the suggestion by Ylianst, I copied meshcore file in meshchentral config folder besides node modules folder to save configuration after an update, could that be the issue.

Will also check after changing it back to normal on Monday.

[UnP1u9]

Haven't disabled any settings specifically.

Might be issue with meshcore file, will check same too once.

[UnP1u9]

Hi,

https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/issues/325#issuecomment-505977689

I was using this but forgot to merge the files time to time hence got the issue which is fixed now. Deleted meshcore files from config folder and updated the server, all working fine now.

Thnx

Yeah, if you have your own meshcore in the meshcentral-data folder, then it uses that instead of whatever version of meshcore meshcentral included by default. If you're going to do that, then you have to be aware that you're effectively using an old version of the meshcore until/unless you manually update it, and you either have to merge your changes into the new file, every update, or at least every time an update breaks backward compatibility with the old meshcore that you're still using.

[MailYouLater]

If you're not familiar with how to merge files, I'd recommend you to try WinMerge.

[Ylianst]

I guess we can close this one. If there is an interesting feature that we should add to the MeshCore.js, please let us know. Certainly something we would consider for addition.
