So an Ubuntu VM gave me an error and I cannot for the life of me restart it. I decided to re-flash Ubuntu server on it but every time I get to the password field, I get an error that kicks up. For now, promos loads and lets me use the GUI but my VM also remains off line.

The issue is likely caused by disk corruption, ISO file issues, or VM misconfiguration. Try the following solutions:

1️ Verify VM Disk Configuration

Run:
Code:
qm config <vmid>

If the disk path is incorrect or missing, reattach the disk or create a new one.

2️ Use a Different Ubuntu ISO

Download the latest Ubuntu Server ISO from Ubuntu Official Site, then upload it to Proxmox and reattach it:
Code:
qm set <vmid> --cdrom local:iso/<new-ubuntu.iso>
Try using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS instead of the latest version.

3️ Check Storage Type and Change to VirtIO

If using SATA, switch to VirtIO:
Code:
qm set <vmid> --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci
If already using VirtIO, try SCSI instead of SATA.

4️ Increase VM Memory

If the VM has less than 2GB RAM, increase it to 4GB:
Code:
qm set <vmid> --memory 4096

Ubuntu installations may fail if memory is insufficient.

5️ Check Proxmox Logs

Run:
Code:
journalctl -xe | grep -i error

This will help identify issues related to disk access, memory, or CPU settings.
