Bringing the local login back

[intellq]

In my Proxmox installation, I successfully activated GPU Pci Express Passthrough.

But now I need to login locally, so I had to revert all the passthrough settings, otherwise when I plug the hdmi cable I'll enter the guest OS, not proxmox.

- /etc/default/grub: changed back to only "quiet" -> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
- /etc/modules: commented out all the modules for passthrough (vfio / vfio_iommu_type1 / vfio_pci / vfio_virqfd)
- /etc/modprobe.d - deleted vfio.conf
- Then update-grub / update-initramfs -u -k all

Even so, my ability to login is not back, like you can see in the photo.

Remotelly, everything works. But I need to login locally again, via keyboard.

Any ideas?

Try edit your /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"

Then

update-grub

Otherwhise, on your terminal, push "ALT + F1"

 

[intellq]

ALT+F1 (or F2, F3,... F12) did nothing.

Changing grub to text, only display a bunch of init texts.

Still no login prompt

You did mention you login using a HDMI cable.

But now I need to login locally, so I had to revert all the passthrough settings, otherwise when I plug the hdmi cable I'll enter the guest OS, not proxmox.

I will make a wild assumption that you are trying to login in the Proxmox host, did passthrough your USB keyboard, and you have the VM starting on boot.

If all assumptions are correct, did you revert the USB passthrough from the keyboard?

I'm trying to login in my Proxmox Host, locally. I'm plugging in the machine a monitor via HDMI cable, and a keyboard. Never did a USB passthrough, so no need to revert it.

When the machine finish the load, I don't have any prompt. See the screenshot (grub configured as "text")

I'm just trying to revert this and get the prompt back.

This is the screen I want back, to be able to log in:
