Please Help.
Hello,
very new to linux and proxmox, trying my hand with a home server, but having little joy.
The problem at hand now is the PC hanging/no web GUI, but I will give a bit of background.
I installed PVE 8.1 directly on a simple home PC (MSI Z690, i5-12600, 32gb ram, mellanox 10gbe card).
Fine.
I would like it to be a HTPC so I was trying to pass onboard gpu following some guides online.
Not very successful when I tried to have the hdmi output to show the VM.
Still everything was working fine, booting, getting on web gui so that I could try to find a way to make things working.
One day I realized the screen was hanging, wile the PC was working and the web gui was working fine. Strange, but ok.
Next day the boot was hanging and the web gui was not there anymore.
Tried to follow a few threads online:
the 2XAPIC trick is not applicable to me (https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/pve-8-0-and-8-1-hangs-on-boot.137033/post-620284)
followed this, but got nowhere (https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/stuck-on-loading-initial-ramdisk.137010/post-609527)
also tried to follow this but got nowhere (https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/pve-8-0-and-8-1-hangs-on-boot.137033/post-620810)
So at this point I edited my grub so to have a simple line: "silent intel_iommu=on iommu=pt" (nomodetest did nothing to change the problem)
At this point the machine booted fine. I thought I was out of the rough waters, but the web gui is not there. The address cannot be reached even if all the network parameters seem fine.
I would love to find a solution so I would be grateful for any advice on guides or solutions to follow.
I would like to stick to Proxmox as a great investment (intellectual as well) for the future, but if I can't get things workable I may need to throw in the towel.
Much appreciate any feedback or help.
Thx
PS Strange thing happened today: while trying to get the GUI to work and going nowhere, I forgot to switch off the machine and after a few hours I realized the browser connected to the web gui. Wow. But the time it takes to communicate anything is biblical. Always asking 'no connection?'
Is there anyone who could make sense of this?
