GUI Login not working. SSH is good

[Larry Johnson]

Monday I came to work and one of my servers was not working.

Here is some background.

Latest updates did last week. Free version not paid.

2 physical servers, that are linked by quorum. I just used gui to do this about 1 year ago. The 3rd box was never working. So no cluster really working. My BAD.

This worked like this for over a year. No issues at all.
Each had a domain controller with dns.


I had another DC with dns and quickly switched network dns to that dns ip.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of the proxmox servers, Number 1,
I can log in SSH, but not GUI, I can see but it doesn't take my password, I used same as SSH.

I went to ssh and changed passwd

Still cannot log into GUI.

I thought the SSH credentials would work on GUI.

Proxmox Number 2 I cannot log in SSH or display GUI.

Any suggestions on getting logged in to Number 1 with GUI ?

Hi,

I thought the SSH credentials would work on GUI.

The root user credential should log in to the PVE GUI as a PAM, a first guess that you don't have a quorum in your cluster, however, you can add a fake quorum using pvecm tool as the below command:

pvecm expected 1

If that does not help please run journalctl -f from the SSH and try to log in and see what you get in, the output of journalctl -f command should give you a hint.

pvecm expected 1
this worked on server1 I can now login with GUI. Does this mean that if server 2 was working then all would be good?

server 2

I can ssh into it. GUI does not show up.

Here is a picture of errors I got while booting up Proxmox. Sorry for bad quality.
Drive issues?

any help on this would be appreciated

any help on this would be appreciated

This is urgent that I get fixed as one of my domain controllers and other servers are on server 2
Thanks,
