daan_SVK Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 hi there, I'm just looking for some ideas on how to troubleshoot this further. I am trying to test a new build, it's a Lenovo P620 workstation. I imaged a new USB key and booted it up, I get no webgui, connection refused. - I can ping the server by hostname and IP - router shows the server by hostname as a connected device - I get no local gui because the server has a P2000 and it needs a driver first - I can not ssh into the server as the root password hasn't been set in the webgui first - I tried different USB sticks and different USB ports, it's always the same the server runs headless, is there anything else I can try?

Did you not use any of the normal install methods? I used the USB creator from the website, multiple USB keys as well. Should I just extract it manually? Doesn't the creator check the USB integrity once it writes the image? Quote Link to comment

Mainfrezzer Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) You can place this file nvidia-driver.plg on your usb drive under /config/plugins and it should download and install the required nvidia drivers, worst case is a reboot if it doesnt pop up at the first boot. You can wait a bit for it to install and after a couple minutes hit the power button for a normal shutdown procedure. alternatively, if available to you, dont use UEFI to boot, use legacy. that should work 99% of the time for graphical output. Edit: I just noticed. your diagnostics is dated 2019. Your timeserver/dns servers are probably screwed up. Might cause problems with downloading the required nvidia package. Ive tested the 2 dns server designated in your diagnostics and they dont respond to any requests. Edited February 14 by Mainfrezzer Quote Link to comment

I wish there was a way to tell the USB creator failed to write the full image to the USB stick. All it says is "Writing done!" which really indicates it was done successfully. Quote Link to comment

I appreciate the time you took to respond but it was indeed incomplete image on the USB stick. this was a new install in new environment so I was suspecting something wrong with the network, I never had issues with the USB creator before. I will stick with the manual USB creation, is like we used to do it in the 90's anyway. Quote Link to comment
