[SOLVED] PVE5 : Installation aborded

[Name]

Hi All,

I'am french newbi user, trying to install PVE5 on a mini PC.
This PC already setup with pFSense, but I would like to install pFsense under ProxMox, then I will be able to create another server like CentOs to host a NAS with Shared Folder (TFTP, NFS, ...) and another one for my home web server.

During installation process, I got an error just after initialization of the IP address

Can you please help me to understand this issue, I try installation with debug mode, but got no more information ; I'll try to look at the dsmeg, but don't find anything wrong (maybe it's because I'am not sure what to looking for)

With google, some thread indicate a graphic card trouble, but I don't see any error log about this in dmesg.

Thanks for your help

Hi and thanks for your help, sorry there is no install.log into /tmp I've look into /var/tmp and no file too

does the kernel log ("dmesg") contain any obvious error messages? looks like the actual installer is not even starting / crashing right at the start? what happens if you enter "xinit" into the debug shell?

When I execute "xinit" into the debug shell, I got :

(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) no screens found (EE)
(EE)
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
         at xxxx://wiki.x.org
 for help
(EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additionnal information.
(EE)
(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file

When I look into Xorg.0.log, I find some line indicated, it can't find config for the screen :

[...]
[    201.854] (EE) dbus-core: error connecting to system bus: org.freedesktop.DB$
[...]
[    201.859] (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
[...]
[    201.865] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section

My screen is a iiyama X2481HS-B1 and it's connecting throw an HDMI cable, it's a classic 1920x1080 screen.
I'll join log files, maybe you'll find more information

seems like your GPU does not support the (limited) graphic environment of our installer. you can try installing Debian Stretch and then configure the PVE repository and install the packages: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Stretch
