Firstly, please be kind to me, I am new to ProxMox and I am trying to learn.

So I ran apt install ifupdown2

When I did, I noticed that it didn't install completely or at least I think it didn't. I have completely lost access to the GUI.

I am on version 6.3-4

While reading the command I noticed this....

Hi!
So I ran apt install ifupdown2

When I did, I noticed that it didn't install completely or at least I think it didn't. I have completely lost access to the GUI.
It may be that you did not do either, or both of:
  1. Get access to a Proxmox VE repository, which means
  2. Call apt update before the install command
