my server is ubuntu 22.0.4 and just did a fresh install and got this error while I choose the desktop environment to run which I choose gnome /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key: certificate file doesn't exist or isn't a file

By default we use the OS snakeoil cert. Either the ssl-cert package is not installed on the system, you did not make your user a member of the ssl-cert group (per the install instructions), or you did not disconnect and reconnect to the server to ensure the group membership change is applied to your current session.

You don't have to use the snakeoil certs, but that is generally the easiest way. You may alternatively use openssl to generate your own SSL certs, or obtain a proper cert signed by a public CA, then configure Kasm to use those certs instead.

To do that add the appropriate settings in /etc/kasmvnc/kasmvnc.yaml

See the docs under network.ssl https://github.com/kasmtech/KasmVNC#configuration

I don't know why but this worked

sudo  gpasswd -a myusername ssl-cert

sudo chown root:ssl-cert  /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
sudo chmod 740 /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

even though I had already ran

# addgroup myusername ssl-cert
Adding user `myusername' to group `ssl-cert' ...
Adding user myusername to group ssl-cert
Done.
