This guide is to set nomodeset parameter into the boot process which is very useful for the AMT servers and will allow the server to display the screen onto the VNC viewer plus correctly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong>\u00a0Install the\u00a0O\/S<\/strong>. In Debian choose the normal installer with out graphics. In Ubuntu just run through the installer like normal.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong>\u00a0After completion reboot the server as normal but interrupt the default boot in\u00a0GRUB<\/strong>\u00a0by hitting the arrow keys.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>\u00a0Highlight the very first, top option and hit\u00a0‘e’<\/strong><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong>\u00a0Scroll down on the editor and look for the line that starts with\u00a0‘linux’<\/strong>. Once found append to the end of the line with\u00a0‘nomodeset’<\/strong><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong>\u00a0Press\u00a0‘F10’<\/strong>\u00a0to boot. The server should boot and not disconnect if done correctly.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong>\u00a0Login as\u00a0‘customer’<\/strong>\u00a0and switch to\u00a0‘root’<\/strong>\u00a0either by executing\u00a0‘su’<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0‘sudo su’<\/strong>\u00a0in Ubuntu<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong>\u00a0Execute<\/p>\n

'nano \/etc\/default\/grub'<\/code><\/pre>\n
8.<\/strong>\u00a0Look for the line<\/p>\n
'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\"\"' and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\"nomodeset\"<\/code><\/pre>\n
9.<\/strong>\u00a0Press\u00a0ctrl-x<\/strong>\u00a0to save and exit<\/p>\n
10.<\/strong>\u00a0Execute\u00a0“update-grub”<\/strong>\u00a0and wait for it to finish.<\/p>\n
11.<\/strong>\u00a0Reboot the server. If done correctly, the server should boot into the\u00a0O\/S\u00a0<\/strong>and should not disconnect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[235],"manual_kb_tag":[272],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2391"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2391"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2392,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2391\/revisions\/2392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=2391"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=2391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
