Greypilgram Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Just built my first unRAID server, got it up and running, was following SpaceInvaderOne's video on setting up a windows 10 VM as a daily driver. I got VM's enabled, setup my first VM with my win10 and virtio isos and hit start and nothing happens. No window pops up, it just says the VM is started but then nothing else. If i hit VNC remote I just get taken to a UEFI Interactive Shell screen. Shouldn't a window be popping up showing the Win 10 install process on my vm? Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Squid Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I believe most people got around the UEFI boot screen by using an up to date iso downloaded from m$. Alternatively, you can also do something (commands very much off the top of my head and probably wrong fs0: cd \bootx64 bootx64.efi Quote Link to comment
Greypilgram Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 I downloaded the iso Friday. On the shell the only directory in fd0 is an empty efi directory Quote Link to comment

Greypilgram Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Ok, I just wasnt getting into the VNC fast enough to see and "hit any key to boot from..." Damn do I feel like an idiot! Quote Link to comment
Elmojo Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Sorry to dig this up, but I'm in the same boat. How do you even get into VNC at all? Is that something I have to install/configure separately, or is it built into unRAID? None of the tutorials or videos I've seen mention this step. It's like they expect us to just know it somehow...

It's built in in unraid no need to install other things, in unraid in your vm tab, click on your vm icon and choose vnc viewer, this will open a new browser tab connecting to your vm screen. Obviously you need to configure your vm to use vnc for the graphics. Edited May 13, 2021 by ghost82 Quote Link to comment
Elmojo Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Well how about that! For some reason, the first couple times I started the VM, I didn't get that "VM Remote" option, but now I see it. I guess all I had to do was post here! You know, kinda like taking your car to the mechanic miraculously seems to fix that sound it's been making for the past 3 weeks... lol Thanks, I'll all set now. 1 Quote Link to comment
