Hello, I've managed to make my Proxmox server unreachable with the unchecking of one box. I was troubleshooting my network because of slow performance in lxc's and unchecked the box to autostart my linux bridge. Now I'm unable to administer my server from the web interface. How does one log in and turn this linux bridge back to autostart so that the server can be administered? Thanks in advance.
Switched linux bridge to autostart and now I can't access my server

Can you expand on that please? I'm brand new. I have a mouse and keyboard and monitor plugged into the server. The only text onscreen when I boot is Loading Linux 6.8.8-2-pve... and Loading initial ramdisk...With a physical keyboard and display or with some remote access feature like IPMI (usually only on server hardware).

Sounds like there's more wrong than just disabling the bridge. Have you tried hitting the enter key to see if you get a login prompt? If not you will need to boot from a live CD (like ubuntu or the PVE installer in rescue mode) and see what's going on. How exactly you do that depends on whether your rootfs is on LVM or ZFS or something else.
Pressing Enter doesn't do anything. I'm booting from two nvme drives in a raid 1 configuration. They use the btrfs. I have repaired my Fedora install by booting into a live cd before, but I never had to mount nvme drives like the way I have them configured. Do you know how to do that? and which live cd would work?

Okay, thanks for your suggestions. Seems like a reinstall is in order.I have never used btrfs so I am probably not the person to help you.
