Linux RH7.4, GPU, Failed to Start VMWareBlastserver

Hello All,

I have installed a Linux VM, with GPU's.  The VM came up fine when I build it out of the box, Graphics was working fine with the nouveu drivers, then I started to proceed to blacklist the nouveu drive, which was successful and I load the Nvidia Drivers (Nvidia-grid-Linux-x86_64-390.42).  This load fine when is typed in nvidia-smi.  When I rebooted the system, the system did not come up in graphical mode. It said no screens found.  I proceeded to install the VMware-horizonagent-linux-7.4.0 software, it installed just fine.  I pointed the VM to the nvidia license server and it got a license.  When I try to connect using blast (10ZIG client).  I get the following errors on my viewagen-debug-log.  Can any of you please help me understand what I may be doing wrong? 

Thanks,

Judy

Hello Judy

We got it working with this command:

nvidia-xconfig --preserve-busid --enable-all-gpus --allow-empty-initial-configuration

And do a reboot
