A common goal is to repurpose an old PC as an OMV server. This is straightforward but it is preferable not to have a powerful graphics card eating up power on the PCIe slot. Here is how I managed to get a motherboard (with no on-board GPU) to operate without a graphics card.

The core problem here is that you need graphics to install OMV but if you then remove the card and boot OMV (you will need to change your BIOS to "no halt on error" before booting without a GPU), you will have no services (no web admin, no SMB, no NFS, no SSH etc...). This is because without a graphics card on the PCIe slot, the motherboard ethernet adapter gets re-assigned because it also sits on the PCIe bus. Because of this hardware change, OMV will be essentially broken as even though it will be running, it will not recognise the ethernet adaptor due to the PCIe bus change.

This re-assigned ethernet adapter issue can be fixed easily with the command "omv-firstaid" but in order to run it successfully we need a terminal and a graphics card! This is the catch-22 situation at the heart of the problem.

To proceed, get hold of a PCI (not PCIe) VGA graphics card like this one. It is essential that it fits one of the smaller PCI slots and not the main PCIe slot usually associated with GPUs. This will give you basic VGA graphics and allow you to run "omv-firstaid" to re-connect OMV with the on-board ethernet adapter.

You can now either run your server with the PCI VGA card in place, or you can remove it and run without any graphics at all. If you remove it, you will have no local terminal but if the need arises just put the VGA PCI card back in.

I installed OMV 6 on a system with an ASUS M5A97 motherboard/AMD PhenomIIx6 CPU/32GB ECC RAM/GeForce GPU. After installation it booted fine, but failed to boot when I removed the GPU and installed an old ATI Mach64 PCI card because I want to install an LSI9211-8i in the PCI-E x16 slot.

Some searching on the internet found that the boot issue is likely a GPU video mode dependency created in the GRUB entry, I then tried reinstalling OMV6 with only the Mach64. This was successful, the system booted with/without a monitor connected but failed when I removed the Mach64.

One issue is that there is no access to UEFI firmware without a GPU, this includes the Boot Menu. All firmware setting must be configured prior to removing the GPU, the installation media needs to be configured as primary boot device and the target drive as secondary boot device. After installation is completed the system successfully boots without keyboard/monitor attached, but I am having intermittent issues with not being able to connect to the WEBGUI which I believe is related to the RealTek onboard NIC.

If you can get it to boot without a graphics card installed, you should be able to install either via serial port console or via network console by enabling those options in SYSLINUX on your installer boot device. Your BIOS may need to support console access to enable the UEFI device for booting (or set it as priority CD->USB->HDD with a video card installed then pull the card and boot the installer).

The following highly unfortunate scenario happened: My motherboard stopped recognizing my graphics card completely. It's a ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero. Yesterday it just suddenly turned off when I was gaming, and when I turned it back on, the white VGA Q-LED came on and I had no screen since. I tried everything, cleaning and re-seating, tried the other PCIe slots, tried a different graphics card, tried different cables with different monitors, tried updating BIOS with flashbios, nothing works. The white VGA Q-LED is on and no screen at all. I know the PC itself works fine otherwise, I could boot into windows and I could even blind-type my password, so the system is working (I could hear the login sound when I logged in blind), I just have no way of seeing what's going on.

I can even see my shared folders from my other PC, but nothing else. I think Remote Desktop is disabled, I cannot RDP to it. Also can't connect any other means, Telnet, SSH, everything seems to be disabled (thanks to Norton 360 no doubt). I do have TeamViewer installed (and I might be able to start it blind even) but I cannot see the code needed to connect...

PsExec is a light-weight telnet-replacement that lets you execute processes on other systems, complete with full interactivity for console applications, without having to manually install client software.

This utility can work without any installation on the target computer.It only needs file and printer sharing to be enabled on both computers,and the remote machine to have set up the $admin share correctly(to provide access to its \Windows\ folder).

I have 2 PCs, so I was trying to somehow connect to the broken one remotely. It works aside from having no screen, but since RDP and everything else was disabled, it was kinda impossible to get in remotely.

However, I have Steam installed on both machines, and when I blind-logged into the broken one, Steam starts automatically. Then on the other one the small notification popped up "Remote play available", since I was logged in with the same account on both. This got me thinking... screen-sharing a game wouldn't really help me, since I need to somehow see the desktop to do anything. Then I noticed it: I have BitBurner installed, a small programming game. I realized, that it's basically just a browser window and can even see local files. I remote-played the game in Big Picture, and sure enough I found an option in the file menu to show the local game folder.

While running AutoCAD 2015 (not civil), hardware acceleration button is grayed out (driver out of date issue) whereas using AutoCad 2014 was very problematic even though hardware acceleration button available.

Which best version/highest version of AutoCad Civil 3D(mainly) can be used without using dedicated graphic card (like AutoCAD 2015) or I can turn off using graphic card? Or Best version which use least amount of graphic card and can completely rely on processor?

The laptop is of 2010. The drivers are available for upto windows 7 on the manufacturer site, yet it can run windows 10 also. The problem is with graphics card which gives me this error "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" whether I use win 7 or 10. I tried every possible solution available online but alas, no luck.

In AutoCad 2015, harware acc. is greyed out and says graphics card is not supported. But drawing lines and sketches is smooth and the system does not crashes also. I don't mind as long as everything is smooth and whether is h/w acc. button available or not.

Hi, I am trying to setup Blender in my renderfarm. When I install Blender on one off my slave computers I cant open Blender. it is asking for a Graphic driver.
These computers are running graphics from motherboard and do not have a graphicscard. Is it possible to use a workarround for this problem?
Also working on one master pc so I log in from the master pc on the network (connect with external desktop).
I did try as a standalone computer (keyboard mouse and screen connected.)

Yes, I have seen the article. So i followed a video on youtube. I see what is happening there. This way is very manual.
Here I am not able to set it as a slave so my master can give orders to the slaves.
Maybe I asked the wrong question. I do not really care if i can see what my slaves are doing, as long as i can control it with my main pc.

Oke, starting up with command line did work. I rendered out a frame without opening the program itself starting up, .exe file doenst work. These slaves do not have a graphics-card, (cpu based system). Everything is up-to-date.
To be fair I did not set-up this system all by myself, I am not that good in IP-address things.
At the moment I am using backburner.

From the 3d program it goes through the backburner program which is storing the file on the Z drive on my NAS. When stored, the backburner sends the job to the server-(slave). The slave opens up the job and starts rendering. Note that it is not opening the file. It only starts rendering.
It sends a file from the program to the backburner-monitor, then the file goes to the Z drive on my NAS. From there it sends it out to all the server-(slaves) in the farm.
So for using this system I can use only the Z drive to store and save the renders. The slaves do not have acces to my workstation-drive.

The whole point is that renderfarm master software constructs command line commands for render jobs based on the settings you set up. Usually each command for blender instructs to render one frame from a sequence and it is up to master to create the appropriate commands and distribute them to slaves. Each slave tries to execute the command it receives and it either succeeds or fails. The command must make sense on slave computer: executable must be reachable (usually set in path env variable), blend file must be reachable (usually on network location) and render result folder must be reachable ( where to save the frames). If all this is set, each slave simply runs the command line command, blender renders and you get your frames.

The system will boot without a graphics card. If i can find a 1 lane PCI-E graphics card I would do that as i have plenty of those. There are no PCI slots at all. I wonder if a USB graphics adapter would work?

Indeed i do believe these would work. Im still curious though if it can be done. We all know the GPU tend to run hot, being able to remove it entirely would be nice to manage heat within a case.

A few years ago I set up an ubuntu desktop (I think 18.04 or maybe 16.04) to boot up and auto run a program for me with no graphics card plugged in to the motherboard. I had configured it to boot up, auto login and auto start the program with complete hands off. I remember I also had selected "ignore no VGA" for headless boot in bios so that the motherboard wouldn't freak out about no graphics card being plugged in. I have done this so I know this is not the issue.
