Cannot login to local shell

[ducklabs]

I played around with the IP CIDR and cannot access the Web Gui and ssh is also not working.

So i tried to use the console with keyboard and mouse.

The issue is that the all the error messages of the networkmanager are printed to terminal and are interpreted as input to the terminal making it impossible to login.

Switch to another tty with CTRL+ALT+F[2-6] does also not work.

Any Ideas
Thanks!

Try ALT-2 (without the CTRL) to switch terminals.

As last resort you can boot from a live USB, chroot into the system and disable NetworkManager.service to get rid of the messages.

If you don't have anything on the server yet, might try a reinstall

Thanks for you fast replies. I ended up creating a live USB stick and fixed the network mask in the interfaces file.
I had just one issue which might be interesting for others. As i use a zfs-mirror as the boot drive you cannot simple use

zpool import -f rpool

as it ties to mount / on / of the live system which does not work and you just see some subvolumes. (I tried to fix the issue in a ct volume instead of the real proxmox config for a couple of hours)
What helped in the end was to mount the rpool with

rpool import -f rpool -R /mnt

This also mount the root of proxmox correctly and you find the correct configs.
