Was somebody able to install windows?
I just get a blue screen after booting from their iso

I mounted the windows 2019 iso and then could not connect on VNC yet...only javavnc available and browser does not launch it...tried vncviewer directly and still cannot connect on the given IP as well..

According to their e-mail after provisioning, you need to open a ticket to get Windows installed. Linux will be automatically deployed.

Linux also does not deploy and server always shows offline.

Server shows offline but the reinstall button from SolusVM worked. Note that their default reinstall image is in german (at least Ubuntu 18.04 is).

I just got mine provisioned

If I may ask, when did you order?

(I decided to get one and ordered less than an hour ago -- am waiting.)

Got the VAT removed invoice at 5:37 AM paid in an hour later and got the server at 6:37 PM all in KST (GMT+9)

Did you ask for support to remove the VAT or it was done automatically?

I did sent a PM but AFAIK they check orders and send you the new invoice if your out of EU even if you don't contact them. It's done manually and takes few hours to get it.

Thanks, I will wait for updated invoice before making the payment.

I ordered at 09:46, paid at 09:54, and was provisioned at 10:54. (Since I'm in the EU, it's possible that my case was more straightforward for them.)

Debian 9.5 Minimal is installed by default, Solus is the control panel, and it shows that my server is online. Unfortunately, the only VNC client available in Solus is Java VNC Client (I thought that Java VNC Client was deprecated), and I cannot connect using an independent VNC client, so the initial impression is somewhat mixed. (So I basically confirm what @balaji_pitchumani above said, except that my server is shown to be online.)

Edit: VNC works. See my post later in this thread.

I've tried both Vinagre and Remmina on Linux, but neither can connect, unfortunately.

I can't use Java VNC client in Solus because I don't have the Java plugin installed, but I think that Firefox now rejects the Java plugin anyway.

Nevertheless, my server is online and I can connect using ssh. (But I would like to do an install from ISO, and I need a VNC connection for this.)

Edit: VNC works.

Just using the default Debian 9.5 minimal template, which I also reinstalled to see whether this makes a difference, but it didn't.

Have you double checked the server ip (vnc ip, not your vps ip), port and password? Have you enabled insecure connections? Vnc credentials seems to be only available on the full version and not the mobile version of solusvm. It is a PITA to not have noVNC though...

Well this could either be a Solus thing then or provider fault. Surely @PHP_Friends will look into that though

Okay, both Vinagre and Remmina can connect now. Perhaps in my eagerness, I entered something wrong(!), but these VNC clients can connect now.

But, yeah, the lack of noVNC in Solus is surprising -- I thought that noVNC was standard these days.

again tried ubuntu 18.04 reinstall through solusvm, waited for 10 minutes, still home page shows offline and not able to SSH as well, so still stuck, waiting for ticket response.

Yes tried with vncviewer, gets connection refused. tried even on IE with the solusvm java viewer as unsecured...still...no success, seems truly offline only.

debian 9.5 not working for me but
Centos 7 worked very well after reinstalled and reboot. I was only managed to get the ping working after I sshed in and run a yum update -y

Yeah, if Solus persistently indicates that your server is offline, then that's a problem that only they can solve, unfortunately. (My server was online from the very beginning.)
