Hi,

after activating my new licence key, update the system with apt upgrade followed by a reboot no vm was able to boot anymore. after some research i found out that i have to configure their "Display" option to "Default" in order to be able to start them again.
Before upgrading the system using the pve-enterprise repository i was able to start the vm's with Display set to "none".

hi,

setting display to "none" should still work (the VM will boot but you won't be able to interact graphically).
if you are getting an error message please post it here, along with the output from pveversion -v command.
pasting the VM configuration (from qm config VMID) would be also interesting to see
 
it seems the vm stucks somewhere at the boot process ... but as i have no display i can't see where ;-) but i swear it worked before upgrading with the enterprise repository :-)
