Proxmox_GUI

Note

  • Please note that Proxmox 7.4-1 does not support the graphics of latest Intel 13th generation processor, which means that the graphical user interface(GUI) may fail to start. However, this issue is expected to be resolved in a future edition of Proxmox.
  • If you are able to access the graphical user interface(GUI) directly, you may not need to refer to this tutorial.
  • Select Install Proxmox VE. Wait a few seconds until the GUI startup failure is displayed. Input Xorg -configure to manually create a new X11 configuration file.
Xorg -configure
