Yesterday i spended a few hours to do some tests.
These are my findings, i hope i can explain, what i found out:
- Update Bios to the latest Version -> same result, no luck
- booted the oldest proxmox Kernel installed (14.3.16-2) -> same result, no luck
Next test, booted new Mint VM without installing Mint on Harddisk.
Booted just the live Version with config:
Now Mint booted and i see the desktop on my HDMI Monitor. But it booted not
correctly, because there is no start menu. Just mouse pointer, Firefox, Terminal,
File Explorer icon and the desktop background.
I stopped the VM and boot it again. Same result.
Again, stop and boot it again. VM comes up with correct Desktop.
Menu, Icons and Dektop are there. Stop again and start it.
Now, it stucks on boot up.
Ok, i try it again with config:
to only passthrough the gpu to mint VM.
Open console, i see mint bootlogo. Than a black screen with a blinking cursor and it
stucks on this screen.
I tried this again with my old Mint VM and it also stucks on this screen
If i delete the pci device, VM booted up fine.
I tried the old Mint VM with config:
(same config as the test VM)
No boot logo, no Desktop. I think it stucks on boot, because teamviewer is not showing the VM.
Tried again with:
VM stucks on boot, only if i choose Mint VM in recovery mode, it booted up.
Is it possible, that something from the old guide doing this?

I bought my NUC in August 2018, i think i have installed proxmox iso 5.2.1 as first install.
And there it works fine so far

yes this is a bug, for which i already sent a patch to the list
@coyote
from your post, it seems that it works in general (with a new vm) but not with the old vm
i guess the reason for that is that the pci addresses changed since the last version (see one of my previous posts where i mentioned that)
so i guess you have 2 options:
try to repair you existing mint installation to use the correct pci paths ( e.g. they could be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it uses X; no idea for wayland though)
or you install a new instance of mint and migrate your data there
No, it doesn't work with a new installed VM. Only if i boot the live image, i see the Desktop on the display, but not correctly. There isn't a start menu.
If i install it to the harddisk it doesn't boot up.....and i don't have a signal on hdmi.
Something doesn't work with the passing through.
I have tried 3 different, fresh installed VM's. VM doesn't boot....
It would not be a problem if a new VM were running, I just need the web browser and the usb touchscreen for my home automation

it has worked at least once in this configuration
maybe your iso is corrupt ?
does anything relevant show in the syslog ? (/var/log/syslog or journalctl )
Only one shot and that's exactly what I don't understand...
I tried many, many times to get this to work yesterday...
I don't think so, i tried 3 different iso files. Mint19Mate, Mint19.1Cinnamon and Debian Desktop.

yes nothing out of the ordinary
yes try to install from an older iso
I did some more tests this weekend. New Proxmox install with Version 5.1-41
I have tested 3 different VM's, once on the TV and once on the touchscreen monitor
- my "old" MintVM
- new, fresh installed MintVM
- live boot MintVM (not installed)
and i tried 3 different configs:
First one:
without defined machine type
Second one:
Third one:
Here are the results:
- Live boot MintVM with first and second config (TV and Touchscreen) -> VM boots up either to the desktop without menu or console output
- Live boot with third config -> no signal, doesn't boot (TV and Touchscreen)
---------------------
- "old" MintVM with first and second config (TV and Touchscreen) -> no signal, doesn't boot (TV and Touchscreen)
- "old" MintVM with third config (TV and Touchscreen) -> works fine
---------------------
- fresh installed MintVM with first and second config (TV and Touchscreen) -> no signal, doesn't boot (TV and Touchscreen)
- fresh installed MintVM with third config (TV and Touchscreen) -> works fine
---------------------
Only with "args line" and "vga: none" it works fine and i don't know why.
I know that this is no longer supported or no longer works in the new versions. But this is the only way at the moment how it works.
Maybe you still have an idea?!
Another question, is there e command to upgrade to 5.2 not 5.3?

I have the same problem, before the last upgrade my integrated video card (Intel HD 4000 on i7-3770) work without problem on Windows 7 VM.
Before upgrade i used these configurations:
But after upgrade cause me this error on vm start
Reading this thread i have tried some configuration like this:
and at the first run windows 7 found the Video card and install the driver, but after reboot
it went into the blue screen
I also tried install a new Windows 10 virtual machine but after reboot only black screen appears on my TeamViewer display
Before upgrade i used these configurations:
Code:
machine:pc-i440fx-2.2
args: -device vfio-pci,host=00:02.0,addr=0x02
vga: noneBut after upgrade cause me this error on vm start
Code:
kvm: -device VGA,id=vga,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2: PCI: slot 2 function 0 not available for VGA, in use by vfio-pciReading this thread i have tried some configuration like this:
Code:
machine:pc-i440fx-2.2
hostpci0: 00:02,x-vga=1,rombar=0and at the first run windows 7 found the Video card and install the driver, but after reboot
it went into the blue screen
I also tried install a new Windows 10 virtual machine but after reboot only black screen appears on my TeamViewer display
so i write it once again for all to read:
'vga: none' has not ever worked -> it had no effect whatsoever on the qemu-kvm call, so please leave it out
second:
if you try to recreate your 'args' line with the 'hostpci' use the same defaults
if you do not have set 'x-vga' do not set it on the hostpci line
if you did not set rombar=0, leave it on (this is the default)
for the detailed explanation of the options please read the documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_pci_passthrough
third:
why do you all try with the ancient '2.2' machine type? we are currently on 2.12 and it should bring better compatibility

Then I wonder why only this configuration works and not only with me. I have exactly this configuration here from the forum.
I've already tried everything, in every constellation. I documented everything in the last post and I tried even more, without success.
Quite simply, because I'm back to an older version of Proxmox. Machine Type: 2.12 doesn't work on version 5.1.
But even with the latest version (5.3), I have tried this type, without success.
Here is my current proxmox version:
