January 30, 20251 yr I have been running Unraid headless for quite a few years now. I now would like to connect a monitor to the computer. I have a 5950x which doesn't have an iGPU, but I have a Quadro P2000 Card that was strictly used for transcoding before. When I connect a cable from it to the monitor I see a black screen. I can tell there is a signal because the screen is black, otherwise my PiKVM would say "No Signal". Why is it a black screen? What should I be seeing the Unraid Dashboard? Is there anything I need to be doing for this to work? I'd like to be able to access my dashboard as I would on the webUI.

January 30, 20251 yr Author Ok. I figured it out. I missed the menu just before this that allowed you to select GUI. Thanks for the help. Rebooting was what started at least the command line to start appearing... although I did move the output from one DisplayPort to another and then rebooted before I started seeing the command line. Anyways. Glad to see the GUI finally. It's really just a Firefox browser. Edited January 30, 20251 yr by dcuellar44
