This is only a workaround for now, will do some more testing next week and report back.

HW transcoding will work too with this workaround but you have to execute this commands.

 

I can confirm that Plex HW transcoding work with the command that get me GUI back.

have you try to uninstall Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin and then run what I send you in my previous message?

Have you tried to load the Intel module for your onboard graphics card?

 

You can also try to:

1. Press CTRL+ALT+F1 this should bring you back to the command line
2. Log in with your root user and password
3. Then type in 'modprobe i915' (without quotes)
4. Then type in '/etc/rc.d/rc.4' (without quotes)

 

And please report back.

modprobe i915 and /etc/rc.d/rc.4 WORKED!

I have local GUI now.

 

@limetech maybe something for 6.9.2?

 

@ich777 intel GPU top didn't work at all (actually made things work as I couldn't call console with ctrl-alt-f1)

 

Great to know that it's now fixed for you too.

I will also wait from an official fix from limetech.

It was working without the plugin on 6.8; it should also work natively on 6.9

This solution works for me!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot ich777

 

Can I do something to make this a permanent fix or I need to wait for an OS update? (not a big deal as I rarely need to reboot my server)

@guill_019 as @NLS said, do the 4 steps step by step and also this is not permanent, this is only for testing.

 

You have to do this physically on your server.

 

CTRL+ALT+F1 will/should bring back the command line.

 

Sorry I think I wasn't clear enough this is only one method.

 

Ok, thanks a lot!

Will try tonight and report here

Thanks for the suggestion.

I will try it at home tonight.

 

When you say "load the Intel module for your onboard graphics card" how do you do that exactly?

 

For the second part, I can do that on the black screen with the flashing cursor?

 

Which method I should try first?

Is both of those method would be permanent fixes (i.e. do I need to repeat this procedure each time I restart my server?)

 

Thanks for the help and sorry for all the questions!

Prime suspects:  nvidia-driver.plg followed by NerdPack.plg

 

Delete the offenders from /config/plugins on the flash drive and try again.  Nvidia probably just needs a reinstall after a clean boot.

 

Thanks for the follow-up Squid

No nvidia drivers for me.

I have nerdpack. Disabling it did not fix the issue.

 

NLS and me have a very similar CPU.

He have i7-4771 and I have Xeon E3-1245 v3.

Both are Haswell LGA1150 CPUs with Intel HD4600 integrated graphics.

Can this be the source of the issue? Like the nvidia drivers seems to be...

[[6.9] After moving to 6.9 local GUI mode not working]

I don't think we need to create a new topic either...

Update from this morning, server is still up and runnning, but still no GUI on the server itself. No more flashing cursor either now; just a black screen.

Thanks to all the unraid team and community for the support!

 

edit: 6.9.1 update did not fixed the problem

[[6.9] After moving to 6.9 local GUI mode not working]

Same thing for me.

I can access the GUI from a network computer, but I have a black screen with the blinking curson direct on the server.

I get a video output during loading (all the white text on the black background, but no login screen)

NO VM

Docker autostart is disabled

Array autostart is disabled

Safe mode +GUI give me the same result

 

 

Here is my config (very modest): 

Gigabyte H97N-WIFI (with latest bios)

Xeon E3-1245 v3 (using onboard graphics)

16 GiB DDR3

2 HDD for the array

1 HDD for the parity

1 SSD for caching
