Hi,

I've been having issues with an ubuntu 20.04 VM on both proxmox 6.1 and proxmox 6.2.

At first, after completing the ubuntu installation (with gpu passthru) and enabling auto login and rebooting all was fine.
Next I ran ubuntu update and rebooted.
After the reboot I was auto logged-in and then a pop up appeared to for me to type my password for checking respositories (I don't remember the title of the window) and the screen froze. And this happened everything I stopped and restarted the VM.

Next I rebooted the the proxmox server and started the VM. When the VM starts it now takes me to a login screen instead of auto login. But when I enter the password it doesn't work and I can't get into the desktop.

Any ideas?
