Issues getting disk mounted after importing from vmdk with qm

[iopsdd]

I just ran the qm importdisk tool (Followed steps from this article: https://www.itsfullofstars.de/2019/07/import-ova-as-proxmox-vm/ ) to import a vmdk file I exported from a past esxi server. The VM I exported was an encrypted Ubuntu 20.04 machine. I've since changed the disk that is attached to proxmox to the converted file, and edited the VMs boot order. Once I boot the machine I get the normal GUI boot prompt to enter the decryption password. I type the password, It accepts the password and then I simply get a black background with a single white line as if it was expecting a command, but i can't actually type anything - and that just stays there blinking forever. Any thoughts? I'm thinking there's something wrong with the disk/partition setup, but I'm not really sure where to go next.

Please provide the output of pveversion -v as well as the VM config (qm config <VMID>).

vga: std

try vmware as graphic card.

> vga: vmware

This VM has a web server that should automatically start on boot, even when this screen is displayed, the webserver is not accessible and the IP of the VM can't be pinged.

After changing to vmware, I get a different output. I get a less-pretty ubuntu GUI, enter the encryption password, and then the display gets stuck here after a few seconds:

Try IDE and/or SATA instead of SCSI for the disk.
