#gnome #login screen, after #boot into #nixos , is not visible using #jetkvm . This is very remarkable: the one point where a remote user really needs access i.e. login , is precisely the one time #gnome + #nixos decides NOT to put out an #hdmi signal to the #kvm . This is sod's law in spades gone orbital. Why is nearly everything an edge case ? Is using a kvm really so unusual that gnome does not make it work by default? #nixos Is this deliberate for security reasons ??
Is there a way of setting a #boot process of a laptop running #gnomedesktop to make display settings at boot of a fresh #nixos #iso #usb installation such that the #hdmi output is set to #mirror the output so that a #kvm #jetkvm device shows the laptop main display at boot and not the useless empty extended part of the display ?

This was not planned for this weekend, but having to reboot my #homelab main machine, I decided to upgrade the installed #debian from bookwork to trixie.

Reading the known issues made me resize the /boot partition before said upgrade. Thanks to the #gparted live CD and my #jetkvm I did it remotely without any issue.

The upgrade after that was also smooth. My only issue was to get my #Windows10 VM to boot, but even that was solved, by pointing to the correct #ovmf file.

Vanochtend even wat #Debian machines en containers naar de nieuwe Debian point release geüpgraded, allemaal zonder problemen. Daarna via een #JetKVM en #FreeDOS een BIOS update gedaan. Dat ging wat moeizamer maar uiteindelijk ook gelukt.

I'll add photos later today, after I get my Amazon order and I'm able to finish the wiring.

I tried running #spinrite via #jetkvm, and then tried to run it via a physical thumb drive. Neither seems to work. I guess the next step is to pull the drives and scan them on a second, older PC? 🤷‍♂️

Finally getting around to connecting the #jetkvm units I ordered ages ago! They’re slick little things and I’m impressed with the lack of fuss.

Got this one connected to my #NAS box below it.. will probably connect the others to a couple of my mini PCs and eventually a Mac Mini M4 for inferencing. Bonus is that these trigger the video out which can be tricky for some boxes if there’s no display connected.

How would you enable #clipboard sharing from a physical remote IP KVM (like #JetKVM) to the local device?
Specifically: how can clipboard content (like copied text) from the remote machine be transferred back to your local system while using the KVM?

And that last ssh hack ... that is what is really wonderful with this #JetKVM device. it is hackable!

I've finally had time to play some more with the @jetkvm

Gee, that is a cool tool! And it works very well, even over a VPN connection. For simplicity in my setup, I just allowed my VPN client to have access to all ports on the JetKVM device.

@librewolf has issues with the WebRTC streams. But works fine with Ungoogled Chromium.

The virtual media functionality is definitely going to be a very nice rescue tool, if the host doesn't boot up - getting into some rescue image will definitely be handy.

And for this kind of remote "backdoor" when a host doesn't respond - this is definitely performant enough.

This device is definitely worth the price!
