No Video in GUI mode after adding and removing external Graphics Card

Featured Replies

On my dell server, I used to get video on vga port until I added and removed a discrete graphics card. Video seems to break post unraid boot. I have followed this article on reddit and changed pcie passthrough settings but have no luck reverting to the original configuration. Is there a way to get this functionality back without resetting unraid?

Do u have an IPMI Port on your Server?

You have display during boot and see BIOS start screen?

Did u check in BIOS if primary display is internal/onboard? 
Stupid question. Did you check your monitor cable/input signal?
You can access your server via WebGUI?

Greetings,

Hi Alex,

 

Yes. The server has iDRAC. The issue occurs after unraid boots. Everything upto that point works as expected. I also connected a monitor to see if it was an idrac issue but keeps getting the same result. WebUI also works fine. A blinking underscore is what I get after successful boot. If I boot without GUI mode, I can see and interact with the terminal. interface.

Probably old graphics driver from the removed one that is started when going into GUI? Why do u need the GUI on th server? I never start into it?
