Graphics output issue

[2Piececombo]

I recently added a GPU (P600) to one of my unraid servers for use with plex. was getting nothing out of the onboard graphics so I plugged a monitor into the gpu and booted into BIOS and forced it to use the igpu. saved/rebooted, now im getting output from the onboard, until unraid boots. I get the screen where you select gui/nongui/etc, and the whole boot process, but where it would normally show a login page, its just a blank screen. The server is running and can still be accesses via webui. Is there something else I need to modify to get unraid to output via onboard post boot?

I rebooted my server and watched the boot process and noticed some odd things right at the end before the display went black.

I found this reddit post and one of the suggestions was to install the intel gpu top plugin. I remembered I already has it installed, so I removed it and rebooted to see if that would make any difference... nope.  The OP of that thread said he solved his problem by "removing the nomodeset commands in my /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg file" so I checked there but it looks completely normal.

Since /dri was missing, I figured I might as well just create it and see if things sorted themselves out. The error about dev/dri went away, but still no login page, just a blank screen. No clue what to do next. Included diags in case that helps. 

cheers

Update: booted into gui safemode and login screen is back. Im sure it has something to do with the nvidia plugin, which leaves me with the following question. How do I use the nvidia driver plugin so my gpu can be used in plex, but get the login screen back? I dont even know where to start looking for a fix on this one

You should post in the Nvidia plugin support thread.

Done. If I find a solution Ill post back here as well in case anyone else is having the same issue, Also just to note, I confirmed it was the nvidia driver plguin by uninstalling it, which brought back the login page. Reinstalled it, and the login page is gone again.
