First things first if you quote someone you have to actually click on the name otherwise the person get's no notification @TechGeek01:
11 hours ago, TechGeek01 said:with the Intel GPU Top plugin installed
The Plugin is only meant if you got a Intel iGPU otherwise it won't work.
May I ask to which card the monitor is connected to?
If your monitor is connected to the ASPEED onboard graphics you have to do the following:
if [ ! -d /boot/config/modprobe.d ]; then mkdir -p /boot/config/modprobe.d fi touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/ast.conf
EDIT: But from what I see from your Diagnostics you already done that.
If you connected the monitor to the Nvidia card the Nvidia Plugin should get you covered and bring up the GUI.

freq errors.
intel_gpu_freqency is not be needed anymore, this is just a leftover and will be removed in a upcoming version of the plugin.
EDIT: Removed it now... just be sure to be on version 2021.03.14a

For all in this thread, the Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin is now fixed and you can reinstall it and local GUI mode will work again just be sure to reboot after you updated the Plugin (make sure that you are on version 2021-03-14a).
FYI: The GUI mode also wasn't working on 6.8.3 nothing on @limetech's end at all...
@NLS please try to install the Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin (remove the file you made for testing purposes 'rm -rf /boot/config/modprobe.d') and see if it works for you now. I think you said that you don't had the Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin installed when you made this request.
@SimonF Thank you for the offer but I think I fixed it now... Please also try to redownload the Plugin or update it and reboot.

modprobe i915 and /etc/rc.d/rc.4 WORKED!
I have local GUI now.
May I ask if you had installed the Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin in the first place or did you only installed it to test if it is working after a reboot?
How do you enable the graphics driver on your system did you do a 'touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf' or did you enabled it through the go file or don't you enable the i915 module at all?

I've uninstalled it rebooted and now I have the gui back and no blinking cursor
But the hardware transcoding is not working I think.

I cant type in commands mate if I don't have a blinking cursor. Do you have to reboot if I manage to type commands in?
What?
6 hours ago, coblck said:So uninstalled intel top plugin added command lines and rebooted, now have GUI back and transcoding seems to be working in plex, but always a BUT if i type in cd dev/dri in i get no such such directory ???? this normal
You have to uninstall the Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin, reboot, press CTRL+ALT+F1 when the blinking cursor appears, login with your root user and password, type in modprobe i915 (after that you have the /dev/dri directory) and at last type in /etc/rc.d/rc.4
If you already uninstalled the Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin then start at press CTRL+ALT+F1 when the blinking cursor appears.

Not yet try tomorrow, if uninstall plug in the gui will come back surly, if so what do I do to get h/w transcoding back when I remove plug in
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.

Booting into cli works, ctrl-alt-f1 works and booting into safe-mode without plugins the display works as well.
Currently the Nvidia Plugin is configured to take over for GUI mode.
In theory it is possible that I change the plugin again a bit so that you can disable the Nvidia Card for video output...
But I will test a few things after the weekend and will look further into it, can you wait until I have done this?
I don't want do do only workarounds, I want a proper solution to this and this involves some testing.
May I also ask which onboard graphics do you have? Is it some kind of ASPEED chip?

I don't know if the display on the server was working immediately after the upgrade to 6.9.1.
Have you tried already to boot into the CLI without the GUI?
As I see from your diagnostics you are booting into GUI mode.
1 hour ago, kysdaddy said:The only reason that I tried safe mode was to see if the display worked. The odd part was not being able to change the boot screen at all.
What primary graphics card is choosen in the BIOS itself?

I tried to choose safemode w/gui but was unable to make changes.
Safemode will disable all Plugins so the Nvidia Driver isn't working, what changes do you want apply?
5 hours ago, kysdaddy said:Yesterday I upgraded to 6.9.1 from 6.9.0-rc2 plex and the nvidia driver are working perfectly. when my system rebooted overnight I lost the webgui on the server itself.
Was it working before the upgrade and now it doesn't or was it working on 6.9.1 also and then the server rebooted and now it doesn't?

If I can read this correctly, I make this folder if it doesn't exist and then update the date attribute of i915.conf? (does this also make a null file if it doesn't exist?)
This will check if the folder exist, if not create otherwise do nothing and then create an empty file to activate the iGPU, I think you missed the release post of 6.9.0beta35, this is now the default way to enable the iGPU on boot.

I choose to add a dedicated P2200 because of the intense CPU load during in transcode task.
I think you get me wrong...
Use the iGPU (QuickSync - this is also Hardware transcoding) not the CPU (this is Software transcoding), simply install my Intel-GPU-Top Plugin that will enable the iGPU and then you have to add a device to the Plex/Jellyfin/Emby container template with the path '/dev/dri' and remove the Nvidia entries:
7 minutes ago, Cyril83 said:Plex could have 8 users at the same time.
That should be no problem as long as you don't transcoding only 4K files (but 8x 4K transcodes is also too much for the P2000).
This is completely off topic here, eventually start another thread and mention me there, or look for something like Intel iGPU and Plex, you even can install the GPU Statistics Plugin from @b3rs3rk and see the usage of your Intel iGPU.

Here is my hardware config (+msi GT730 graphic card)
Bind the GT730 that is for the VM to VFIO (Tools -> System Devices -> Select everything that is related to the card and press Apply), so Unraid can't use the card for video output.
Also why are you using the P2000 for transcoding?
The i3-8100 has about the same transcoding perfomance as the P2000 and is more efficient than the P2000 and also has no limits in simultaneous transcodes.

i recover local GUI with command lines modprobe i915 and /etc/rc.d/rc.4
It works!! like other users,
So you have a Intel iGPU I think and a Nvidia GPU for transcoding am I right?
Have you set the main display output in your BIOS to the iGPU? What iGPU do you have or better speaking which processor?
9 minutes ago, Cyril83 said:But now, local GUI display is on my nvidia card (curiously).
That should be no problem since when you use it in Docker containers it will not affect the capabilities or the performance of the card.

First graphic device is IGFX
Then install the Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin (if your iGPU is from Intel) from the CA App.
3 hours ago, Cyril83 said:How can I clean the syslinux.cfg?
Go to 'Main' then click on 'Flash' (the blue text), clean this up a bit (a clean configuration looks like the following screenshot) and after you did that click on 'Apply' and reboot:
3 hours ago, Cyril83 said:I install Nvidia drivers because I'll install soon a PNY Quadro P2200 for transcode
If you set the primary graphics to the iGPU then you can disconnect the cable from the Nvidia Card because it won't output anything.
EDIT: @guill_019 The fix would be what I wrote below, hopefully it will work.
1 hour ago, NLS said:I rebooted, I still get a blank screen, BUT I think it is a different screen mode.
Only for you information, my Plugin does the exact same thing as you did manually...
Can you try one other thing.
Please try to execute this command from the command line (without my Plugin installed):
if [ ! -d /boot/config/modprobe.d ]; then mkdir -p /boot/config/modprobe.d fi touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf
and then again reboot and see if you got a screen output -> this should be the proper solution for the Intel iGPU's.

If @ich777 is responsible for this part of unRAID I'd say they'll be working on a fix ASAP. They already provided a permanent fix for Nvidia drivers.
No I'm not responsible for this part of unRAID but I'm happy to help.

Can I do something to make this a permanent fix or I need to wait for an OS update?
You can install my Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin from the CA App.

can I also do this when I have booted in console mode?
No, because X is missing.

Exactly.

Not for me
What device is choosen in the BIOS as the first graphics device?
Where is your Display connected to the Nvidia card or to the iGPU?
4 hours ago, Cyril83 said:6.9.1 updated - nvidia updated
Have you also rebooted?
Is this all really needed in your syslinux.cfg:
BOOT_IMAGE=/bzimage pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui
Do you boot with Legacy or UEFI?
May I ask why do you installed the Nvidia-Driver if you use it for a VM, also the GT730 is not really a transcoding beast if you use it for that.
-
@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.
6 minutes ago, guill_019 said:For the second part, I can do that on the black screen with the flashing cursor?
CTRL+ALT+F1 will/should bring back the command line.

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

Now to resolve the issue with us people that are NOT using nVidia?...
Have you tried to load the Intel module for your onboard graphics card?
You can also try to:
- Press CTRL+ALT+F1 this should bring you back to the command line
- Log in with your root user and password
- Then type in 'modprobe i915' (without quotes)
- Then type in '/etc/rc.d/rc.4' (without quotes)
And please report back.

@Kaldek & @sterofuse & @almulder
Fixed!
Update the Nvidia-Driver Plugin (make sure that you are on version 2021.03.10) and reboot your server into GUI mode again.

@all for all that are using the Nvidia-Driver Plugin:
If you are using the Nvidia-Driver Plugin I have a workaround for you if you boot into GUI mode:-
When you get to the blinking cursor press CTRL+ALT+F1 -
Login with your root account and password -
Type in 'nvidia-xconfig' (without quotes) -
Type in '/etc/rc.d/rc.4' (without quotes)
These commands have to be done from the local console (not a remote console).I will fix this ASAP and keep you updated here in the thread, sorry for the inconvenience...Fixed!

Welp, I need the nvidia driver so I guess I'm going to deal with a blinking cursor for a while lol.
Was this working on 6.8.3?
[6.9] After moving to 6.9 local GUI mode not working

Do you need the Nvidia Driver?
I have no machine where I can test both the Nvidia Driver and the Intel-GPU-TOP Plugin but I think you should be also able to install both and the output should happen on the Nvidia card.
