    [SOLVED] Windows display broken up

    Was able to update the VM to Windows 10 without losing the license to CorelDraw. After the update the screen displays correctly. Don't know what the issue between Windows 7 and the updated version of Proxmox but this will get me around the problem.

    [SOLVED] Windows display broken up

    That sounds overly complicated, but I don't want to venture down that rabbit hole. I need to focus on my existing problem.

    [SOLVED] Windows display broken up

    I tried but there are no Windows7 files in the new download. It appears that W7 isn't supported any longer which isn't shocking. My problem is that I have a program that's licensed on this VM and I can't re-install the software again. Corel isn't very friendly when it comes to that. When I...

    [SOLVED] Windows display broken up

    I have a Windows 7 VM that's been running for years. A couple of months ago I did an update to Proxmox and ever since, the display screen on the Windows 7 machine is messed up when using Windows Remote Desktop to access the machine. The display has gaps and lines all over it and you constantly...

    [SOLVED] TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

    I received help from Proxmox support and it worked. I'm posting their solution here because I've seen so many others with the same problem. One note: I don't need audio on this system. This solution worked. In my case the VM with the issue was VM 108 ***************************************...

    [SOLVED] How to move a vm if you can't do backup / restore?

    Never mind. I did a restore of an older version onto the older Proxmox then manually did all the updates that were lost. My original problem still exist as I can't start the VM in the current version of Proxmox but at least I can open a copy of the VM in the old version now so I'll close this...

    [SOLVED] How to move a vm if you can't do backup / restore?

    As per my other thread, which has had no replies, I have a VM that won't start due to the updated Proxmox and audio conflict. I'd like to move the VM to an older version of Proxmox so I can at least run it until someone figures out the problem on the new version. But... I can't create a...

    [SOLVED] TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

    I have been unable to find a solution. I'm assuming the VM won't start because of an audio driver issue created when I updated Proxmox but I don't know that for sure. I've tried several combinations of audio drivers which does change the error, but so far I haven't found anything that allows it...

    [SOLVED] TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

    Important update: I restored a backup file created before the power failure. It will not start either. I'm now convinced that something in Proxmox has changed that's causing the VMs not to start since both this VM and the backup VM had been running fine. It looks like some sort of audio...

    [SOLVED] Server suggestion for new installation

    Windows backups are ... lacking. I've had to do some rebuilds when hardware has failed and trying to restore from a Windows backup is pretty disappointing. You have to reinstall everything and reset everything. Many software licenses only allow for limited installations so you burn a license...

    [SOLVED] Server suggestion for new installation

    I have a friend who owns a small business. I've been telling him about Proxmox (which I love) and I think this might be the right route for him but money is tight. He really only needs one VM which would act as his Desktop machine for him. He works from home and sometimes from the road so he'd...

    [SOLVED] Version 8 installation no display

    I hear what you're saying and I understand. I've been using Proxmox for many years now and I don't think I'm that much of a non-typical user. I'm a small business owner trying to get by in a cruel world. While I'm maybe not as much of a noob as indicated in my message, I do consider myself to...

    [SOLVED] Version 8 installation no display

    See this is what I'm talking about. To you installing Debian is "simply" but to me it's not. I would have to figure where to get it, how to determine what version to get, and what items to select during the installation that are needed by Proxmox while also not installing things that aren't...

    [SOLVED] Version 8 installation no display

    But if you download the ISO and are doing a clean install, you don't have Debian installed to even run scripts with. It's a blank HDD which is typically the way I install Proxmox and it's what I've always been told is the preferred way to do the install. So it seems like a clean HDD using the...

    [SOLVED] Version 8 installation no display

    I'll throw my two cents worth in here. I LOVE Proxmox but I am not a Linux guy. I admit that I'm one of those guys who either needs an installer or I need line-by-line instructions that I would then need to manually enter onto the other computer. Same with GUI. Without it the software is much...
