This looks simple enough, I’ll have a crack at it this weekend. Thank you

the drivers are blacklisted on the host at boot

This is the problem I was alluding to, though I’m surprised you are still able to see the console despite the driver being blacklisted. I have heard of people using scripts to manually detach the GPU and attach it to a VM, but sounds like you don’t need that, which is interesting

I was wrong, got confused about how secure boot and disk encryption worked 😅

I’ll admit I’ve done this too 😅 Not ideal but a good idea nonetheless

I was confused on how secure boot and disk encryption worked, ignore me 😅

Actually that might work. I thought that secure boot and disk encryption would prevent mounting the disk to a different system, but now I can’t think of any reason why it would. Good idea

That sounds brilliant. Have any resources to learn how to do something like this? I’ve never created custom boot entries before

It only hijacks the GPU when I start the VM

How did you do this? All the tutorials I read hijack the GPU at startup. Do you have to manually detach the GPU from the host before assigning it to the VM?

Serial is still a thing.

Good to know 👍

Get a cheap video card.

I’d be tempted to just pass it through as well 😅

Live CD.

Doesn’t work if you have encrypted disk (nevermind I was wrong about this)

Or a usb to vga adapter.

A server class system with BMC.

Interesting ideas, I’ll look into them thanks

As mentioned in another reply, this doesn’t work if you have encrypted disk. The price for security I suppose

Edit: nevermind I thought that secure boot and disk encryption would prevent you from mounting the disk to another system, but that appears to be wrong
