@mandala said: Here comes danger. Please forgive me if this breaks your dedi.

it's not in prod and reinstalls are easy so i'll send it with this in a minute and let you know

Thanks. Waiting for results.

I think that should do the trick, but if it doesn't, I don't know why.

For future people searching for a solution, here's a spinning egg for your entertainment:

Ok

I'm searching for an affordable yet reliable storage VPS. Could anyone recommend one or perhaps share a few options?

My signature is exactly the storage/backup provider I can recommend as established - I've been using them daily for more than two years (hence the ref link - covering my bill).

See the "Big HDD VPS" part. Ping me in case of any questions.

@mandala i went into the bios for graphics configuration and found this which doesn't look good, supposed to be an option about enabling intel integrated graphics here from what i can tell

although it's a supermicro X11SSW-F with an Intel® C236 chipset which I'm pretty sure supports onboard graphics

But besides the Fumo, I also bought a few Hatsune Miku plushies! They keep me company when I sleep!

        Kernel driver in use: ast
I searched and found that ast is the driver for this server motherboard GPU, we disabled it in GRUB. Intel driver is enabled.

You still can boot it up so here's my last trick: blacklisting ast:
Modify /etc/default/grub again, find the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i915.modeset=1 video=AST:off"
now remove video=AST:off (will be unnecessary) and add modprobe.blacklist=ast
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i915.modeset=1 modprobe.blacklist=ast"
Save the file, run update-grub
Reboot

If still boots up, grep again:
lspci -nnk | grep -A3 VGA
Hopefully this will completely disable that GPU and let Intel iGPU be primary.

will try this in a sec

I wish Plushies market is boom here, most plushies have to be import from Japan(so $$$) plus import Tax/Proxy fees etc.

So, Figure is cheaper here , I have fews of Yuru Camp figure with me tho.
