Supermicro IPMIView not working properly in Win 10?

[darkconz]

I have a rather strange problem going on here. This only happened to me when I upgraded my PC from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

I made sure I have the latest Java version as well we the IPMIView as of today but still experiencing this problem:

When I open up KVM Console, sometimes it shows me the screen, sometimes it is stuck with a white corner and a black screen. I can see the FPS changing even though I cannot see anything. Also, when I click Virtual Media>Virtual Storage, a blank white popup came up. This makes mounting ISOs VERY difficult (actually it is impossible).

For a past little while, I've been using my Win 8.1 VM to do all this work but I am curious to if anyone else is having this problem and if so, has anyone found a solution.. It is just cumbersome to log into VM to do this work when it used to work on my workstation...

Thanks.

mine works fine. and I upgraded from 8.1

I had to make sure that I ran in administrator if I needed to save any work.

you may need to uninstall and re-install.

I've tried to Uninstall and reinstall both java and ipmiview but no luck...

This is really strange. It has worked for me both on the 8.1 to 10 upgrade and the 10 straight install. The only challenge I have is on the Yoga the resolution makes IPMIview hard to read.

@Patrick Win32 graphical console programs really suck on QHD+ screens.
Got the same thing on my Dell XPS 13.
Hyper-V Management console is alright, viewing a console of aVM is near impossible,

And Java. That really should be burned to the ground.
Not the island, the programming language.

Tried rolling back your Java a few versions to see if that helps?

How does one uninstall IPMIView? Isn't it just a self contained app launched from CLI?

Did you look at this? IPMI issues with Java 8
I'd also look at Windows event logs / java event logs

 

[Fritz]

Can't speak for Win 8.1 and 10 but in Win 7, ipmiview is a program that can be uninstalled like any other program.

 

[darkconz]

I've tried clearing the temp files and resetting the security but no luck...

I'll give it a go with lower version of Java.. But IPMIView was working with java 8 few months ago before I did Win 10 upgrade.

Did anyone resolve this? I thought there was a more recent thread but only found this one... having this issue on a win10 box too and could have sworn we had a 'fix' in another thread :/

I'm updating JAVA now, but any other suggestions?

 

[T_Minus]

Updating JAVA and running as admin and off and away we go Proxmox almost installed via virtual ISO so it's working

 

[IamSpartacus]

I continue to have this issue. Even updating Java and re-installing does nothing. I've always been running as admin. On a fresh install of Win10 it worked for about 2 weeks and then it reverted to the same error I've been getting:

It simply didn't load at all for me... no error like that.

I get this error with 3 X10SDV and 1 X11 board. I have another older x10 board that works fine. No issues in using the Web UI to launch the Java console.

Getting this old Java-based IPMI working has been the biggest pain in the ass - I'm trying to mount an ISO and install Proxmox, so I'm trying to use iKVM (IPMIView Windows install package), but if I can manage to get a working iKVM session going, the remote media dialog box is blank. Couple this with the fact that I can't get my USB keyboard to power on during POST, I can't boot from a USB to run the install.

Update: Using IPMIView in a Linux Mint VM works well enough.

You can fix that by running it as Admin and, if that doesn't work, doing a factory reset on the BMC with ipmicfg from the host:

./IPMICFG-Linux.x86_64 -fd

Just saw this thread... sorry if this is already known.

IPMI will not work if you use Edge on Win 10.
It works fine for me if I use IE or Chrome.

I am curious any of you with problem similar to mine @T_Minus that it didn’t load and are running dual monitor?

What I found out was when the iKVM popped up on my primary monitor, I just need to drag it to my secondary monitor, minimize it and restore it. Then everything works as intended. Weird workaround but it worked for me every time.

Since we are on Win 10, maybe moving that opened window to another desktop might work too? Never tried as my secondary monitor always worked for me.

I can confirm, that workaround with drag to secondary monitor works very well.

Moving windows to another desktop has no effect either..

 

[K D]

Usually other applications "remember" which monitor they were last opened but IPMIView seems to randomly open in either of my 2 monitors.

If I open the dialog to mount a CDROM it also doesn't always open in the same window as the main IPMIView window.

On the other hand both HP iLo and Dell iDRAC windows always work flawlessly.
