June 2, 20215 yr Hi all, After I upgraded my server to 6.9.2, I've been unable to get any of my VMs whether they're old or newly created to get beyond the "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)" screen on VNC, and the VMs are not running in the background at all either. They simply get to that screen on VNC and pin one core to 100% per VM and sit there. I've tried re-creating old VMs, creating new VMs, changing the bios and machine types they run on, deleting and recreating my libvirt.img file, disabling and enabling VMs in settings, multiple restarts, starting in safe mode, editing the VM xml files and just generally anything I could think of to no avail. I'm about to pull my hair out trying to figure this out, so you guys are really my only shot at figuring this out at this point. I've gone ahead and attached my diagnostics here too. Might be asleep when you reply but I'll try to get back to you asap. Thanks! cerberus-diagnostics-20210601-2036.zip Edited June 2, 20215 yr by Wibbleh
June 2, 20215 yr Did you try searching the forum for the error message you're seeing? Here's one result that might help:

I tried going through that post and any other one I could find, but sadly nothing in that post worked. All the other threads I could find pretty much seem to be people with GPUs reverting back to VNC instead of passthrough. I don't have any GPUs currently installed, though, so the advice in those threads didn't work for me. Edited June 2, 20215 yr by Wibbleh
June 2, 20215 yr I don't know then. All I can say is that I have both Linux and Windows VMs using VNC that I created before Unraid 6.9 and also those that I created using Unraid 6.9.2 and I've never seen that error message. Once set up I usually enable remote desktop on the VM and use the Microsoft Remote Desktop application (on a Mac) instead. Have you tried a different browser?
June 2, 20215 yr Author Unfortunately, yeah. Neither Firefox, Chrome, or Safari on either my mac or windows machine make a difference. I think it's something messing up with the VMs boot process rather than VNC but I'm not really sure where to go from there.
June 2, 20215 yr Author I ended up having to revert to 6.9.0 in order to get any progress. After downgrading and changing CPU passthrough modes back and forth it seems to have gone back to normal.
