Is there some secret way to reset rocky 9 back to “just installed” Did a idiot thing by running Install\_burn\_headless but I forgot that it has adisplay dongle and now burn wont render anymore and nomachine is freaking out and everything is broken. It comes with a warning that i skipped over so now reinstall time (boo) its my own fault so yay ---

@finn - not immediately. you can try: ssh to the machine. `sudo /usr/local/bin/rmsoft` (let me look for the headless option) the headless option is `-g` so: `sudo /usr/local/bin/rmsoft -g` then reinstall the DKU then reinstall flame then reinstall your remote control software. this is about 12 - 20 minutes. you could even try: `sudo /usr/local/bin/rmsoft -fag` or `sudo /usr/local/bin/rmsoft -fagcv` ```auto Usage: rmsoft [option] Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -a, --all Remove all Autodesk software -r RESUMES, --resumes=RESUMES Remove Autodesk software associated with either the resume file or the regexp string specified -k KEEP, --keep=KEEP Remove All Autodesk software except the one associated with either the resume file or the regexp string specified -f, --delete-folders Remove all autodesk FOLDER -c, --no-confirm No confirmation -g, --no-gui trigger interactive shell mode -v, --verbose verbose mode ``` ---

yea… tried that, down the rabbit hole, i uninstalled it all, recreated a new xorg, nomachine now just shows me “oh no! something something” broke, i did a bunch of random stuff now with xorg, reinstalling nvidia drivers, restarting gdm, but its just not working at all… i think install\_headless really does some crazy damage ---

It installs VirtualGL, which would definitely make things fucky. You could try `dnf remove VirtualGL` ---

yea there was more weird configs with virtualGL, removing it using the nomachine app actually worked! i am so close now the only thing I still get is Users reported that: When launching Burn jobs to a Burn node that has no desktop session started, the render fails, showing the error: Fatal: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. so its not technically headless, as it does have a display connected (dummy hdmi dongle) if I login to nomachine i get echo $DISPLAY = 1 and my flame config also has that, so that works… just BURN wants to not start I think I am giving up and reinstalling the system tomorrow, man this is so weird, everything else runs, houdini e.t.c ---

i really dont know how this is supposed to work with a non headless workstation thats used for both burn as well as regular remote sessions. I dont even want to run flame interactive but other things. i can get it to launch a session as display:0 but that doesnt seem to solve burns issue either, I guess burn runs as root? should I just auto-login root as tty2 on display0? ---

I don’t know about NoMachine, but when in Teradici mode, Burn does not run. But when using NiceDCV, yes, Burn works. So I suggest you test that, and make sure to use the latest 2024 version of DCV. I tested a pre-release fix this morning, not sure when it will make it to the general public. ---

uninstalled nomachine, did a bunch of reboots, made sure root does autologin to root and some other shenanigans and behold… it works 🙂
