Re: GUI-Login on bookworm-VM in a cloud
> Can anyone help?
My first thoughts were firewall issues.
https://docs.opennebula.io/6.8/quick_start/deployment_basics/try_opennebula_on_kvm.html
open ports: 22 (SSH), 80 (Sunstone), 2616 (FireEdge), 5030 (OneGate).
https://docs.opennebula.io/6.8/installation_and_configuration/frontend_installation/install.html#frontend-fw
Firewall Configuration¶
The list below shows the ports used by OpenNebula. These ports need to be open for OpenNebula to work properly:
Port Description
22 Front-end host SSH server
2474 OneFlow server
2616 Next-generation GUI server FireEdge
2633 Main OpenNebula Daemon (oned), XML-RPC API endpoint
4124 Monitoring daemon (both TCP/UDP)
5030 OneGate server
9869 GUI server Sunstone
29876 noVNC Proxy Server

I have not used OpenNebula so I cannot comment on this software. I have some experience with running VMs using VMware, KVM, and Hyper-V. I hope some of my comments may be useful.
I am curious, why do you use OpenNebula ? (I am not saying you should not use OpenNebula, I am just curious why this choice).
What hypervisor is running your Debian VMs?
And can you use any other VM management tools? If so what happens when using those? While it is unlikely to suite your needs, are you able to use Linux's Virt-Manager to connect without issues?.
As Virt-Manager does not need an endpoint to be installed, I have found it is effective for testing/working with KVM VMs.

OpenNebula helps you migrate your Enterprise Cloud from VMware to a cost-effective open source virtualization platform based on KVM.

OneGate Configuration¶
The OneGate server allows Virtual Machines to pull and push information from/to OpenNebula.

In crashes, do you mean the server's log files show that the display manager has terminated due to some error?
I assume ssh to a terminal is still working, but it is worth me asking to be sure.
