Proxmox IInstallation - xauth Error - "bad display name"

[Kato98]

Hi,

Before I start I want to say, I am a beginner in Proxmox/Linux and I want to use it for learning .

When I Installed Proxmox on a new Computer I got several Errors.



1. Error

Proxmox Installation got stuck at "Starting a root shell on tty3" after a few min this Error appeared "Installation aborted - unable to continue" .

Spoiler: Error Massage

I could solve the Problem with this Guide :

#$ chmod 1777 /tmp
$ apt update
$ apt upgrade
$ Xorg -configure
$ mv /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
$ vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf # update Driver -> "fbdev" <-be sure to get all instances in the case of a multi-head card which tripped me up initially.
$ startx

Spoiler: Here the full conf

Because I didnt really know where I needed to update "Driver "fbdev" in the text data. I copied "Driver "fbdev"" in bothe Section "Device" .

I hope its right like this.

2. Error


After fixing the first Error, the Proxmox installer finally opened and I could configurate Proxmox. After the massage "Installation successfull!"

I got following Error in the console:

hostname: Name or service not known
xauth: file//.Xauthority not known
xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name  "proxmox:1" in "add" command

Spoiler: Error Massage

Now I dont know if I put the "Driver "fbdev" wrong in the file and this is causing the 2. Error or the second Error is not connected to the first one...



I would appreciate any help

What was the solution Kato?

For anyone else who finds their way here, the solution for me was to not take the first approach detailed by Kato. Instead, following this step-by-step, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6fRTpmmuHs, resulted in a clean install
