Genesius10 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hi, what settings do i need to enable to be able to access the server on the physical server. im sure i saw an option but i cant find it. ive selected gui at the boot menu and i just get a dash on the command line but no gui. i can still access from another computer on the network but i want to work on the server without it on the network.

That SHOULD work but some people find that they cannot boot into GUI mode. I do not think that it has ever been resolved as to why it does not work for everyone. Quote Link to comment

All I know is that I cannot run in GUI mode on my server with any of the recent Unraid releases while earlier v6 releases could run in GUI mode. Could also be related to changes made with the more recent Linux kernel releases? Quote Link to comment
tjb_altf4 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Could always try adding the GPU driver, this is easy on 6.9 onwards Quote Link to comment

In practice running in 'headless' mode is not an inconvenience to me so it is not something I have invested any significant effort in trying to resolve as my hardware cannot do hardware pass-through so no real interest in regularly running locally on the server.

Exactly, running headless reduces load and allows for remote management. For me it works but I'm Intel CPU and NVIDIA GPU, even GPU removed it works so I wonder if its AMD and/or newer Intel as mine is 5+ years old. Edited January 25, 2021 by ados Quote Link to comment
Knutowskie Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Well i got a ASRock J5040-ITX board with intel hd graphics on chip and it doesn't want to boot into GUI mode. I never saw the GUI mode and i am curios how it looks like and what possibilities it gives me. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The same as accessing the UI from a browser Quote Link to comment

I do not like the idea of having root access for remote administration. For the LCD i would like to check for alternatives, may VGA. But for this i need GUI mode. Well and this simply does not work. My board seems to boot only in UEFI mode and somewhere i read that this maybe the issue. Quote Link to comment
