[SOLVED] [i7 14700kf and 4090] Issue Installing Proxmox on Specific Hardware Configuration with Xorg Error

[rihasultanov]

Hello Proxmox Community,

I am reaching out for assistance regarding an issue I've encountered while attempting to install Proxmox on my new hardware setup. Despite my efforts, I am facing an error related to Xorg, which has stumped my progress. Here are the details of my hardware configuration:

• CPU: Intel i7 14700KF OEM
• RAM: Patriot Viper VENOM, PVV532G560C36K, DDR5, 32GB
• Motherboard: ASRock Z790 TAICHI CARRARA
• GPU: Palit RTX 4090 GameRock, 24GB, GeForce RTX 4090
• Storage: SSD M.2 PCIe Corsair MP600 Core XT, CSSD-F2000GBMP600CXT, 2TB
• Power Supply: ATX Chieftec POLARIS 3.0, PPS-1250FC-A3, 1250W

I successfully installed Ubuntu 22.04 Server on this setup, and was able to install drivers and even a desktop environment without any issues. This leads me to believe that the problem might be specific to how Debian (the base for Proxmox) interacts with my hardware.

The specific error I'm encountering is related to Xorg, but unfortunately, I do not have the exact error message at hand to provide more details. I suspect it might be a compatibility issue with my GPU or perhaps a configuration aspect I am missing.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with Proxmox installations on similar or the same hardware? Any insights, suggestions, or guidance on how to troubleshoot this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, I am prepared to provide logs and further information as needed. Please let me know the best way to share these details..

Managed to install using the terminal way on the latest Proxmox 8.1.2, couldn't before, I think we can close the ticket. Try to pass through a 4090 to the VM later and I'll see how it works. Sorry for the ticket.
