Old HP ML350p

I have and HP old server up and running and a Hypervisor. This is what I did. Why I did this is due to the fact that the HP ML350p server will only work with Windows server 2008 R2 and ESXi 5.5 versions.  I installed Ubuntu 20.04 desktop.  I burned a DVD and used that to install it.   Then I installed Remote Desktop on Ubuntu. https://www.tecmint.com/install-xrdp-on-ubuntu/ I too had the blank screen problem.  Next I installed KVM. This is the Linux version of hypervisor. https://linuxize.com/post/how- to-install-kvm-on-ubuntu-20- 04/   Next I  set up a VM for windows server 2019. Then I made sure that the VM will automatically restart when the host restarts. I have been testing it for days and it works fine. virsh autostart vmName virsh autostart debianlenny1
