Why EC2 Instance connect via browser-based SSH connection only show Black Screen and no response ?
I just set up my first ubuntu vm on EC2 all using default setting, except I add a in-bounding rule to allow my ip address access on all protocol.
I didnt set key pair. Because I dont know how to connect via SSH.
Then, I try to connect the VM via the browser-based SSH connection. It only show Black Screen and no response.
Whats wrong with that ?

The SSH browser based feature requires to have the package
ec2-instance-connectinstalled and it does not come by default on the Ubuntu AMIs.You can try the Amazon Linux 2 AMIs if you're just discovering AWS (the package is already installed).
If you're particularly attached to Ubuntu, you need to follow the following procedure first : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-connect-set-up.html
Finally got it! thank you so much.
I have sit there and google for an hour but interestingly no one have this kind of issue.
thanks a lot.
