Hi,
I installed both Fedora 40 and Fedora 41, using the official ISOs from Fedora.
Used the default settings (display: default), with vitio scsi with writeback. Here a screenshot:
I'm accessing the VM via browser console (double click the VM from the UI, which opens a separate browser window).
In both cases, after the installation from the Live distro (ISO) I reboot, then Fedora guides me to create the main user and password.
After setting the username and password, I can see the Fedora background screen and cannot do anything, which is already a bit weird. Cannot right click to see Display settings, cannot press the "Windows" key via the virtual keyboard, cannot see the top left icon you usually click to avoid using the virtual Windows key. This basically forces me to reboot the VM.
After rebooting, I can see the Fedora login screen.
I enter my login and password, seems to be accepted but "boom" I'm back to the login screen.
I thought I entered m login/password wrongly, so I try to enter a wrong password on purpose. With a wrong password I see a wrong password error message, so my password was entered correctly.
I debugged this a bit. I added a passthough GPU. If I try to login using a real GPU passed through it works, I get into the system and can use it.
Of course I don't want to passthrough a real GPU allthe time I need to use a Fedora VM, so this is quite an issue.
This seems to indicate that Fedora 40 and Fedora 41 have issues with the proxmox defualt display.
Maybe the issue can be fixed by installing some package after the installation. But if you get stuck like me, you won't be able to install anything because you cannot login, nor have a ssh server activated for you (Fedora has ssh disabled by default, you must enable it after a fresh install, if you need it).
I'm sure this is easy to reproduce, also Fedora is really easy and fast to install.
Anyone has a solution for this? Thank you
Thank you.
