I have a kvm to switch between 2 Rocky machines, Mint, windows… The Rocky 9.3 machine is the problem. When I switch from it to any of the others, I cannot reconnect and continue my session. I suspect that I have some setting wrong. The Rocky 8.8 system works flawlessly as do the others. Anyone got an idea?
“Consumer” KVM switches can be pretty hit-or-miss, unfortunately. Some questions/ideas:
- What brand and model KVM switch is it?
- Does it use VGA+USB connections, or HDMI+USB etc. ?
- Have you checked the manufacturer for a possible firmware update?
- Are you running a GUI/desktop on the Rocky 9.3 machine?
- When you switch back to the R9.3 machine, is there any kind of display at all?
- Is the R9.3 machine pingable at this point?
- Have you tried remotely connecting into the R9.3 machine via ssh at this point?
