Google Compute Engine VM Display Driver

google-compute-engine

I have created a google compute engine (GCE) VM, and regardless of the OS selected (Windows Server 2012, 2016, etc.) there is no virtual display driver that is installed.

I don't know if this is by design, or a consequence of the hyper-visor they are using, but some applications seem to require a display driver to bind to in order to load or connect. One example is Teamviewer, VNC, or Chrome Remote Desktop for remote access. It just displays a blank screen on the client side.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and whether there is a driver that can be installed by the user to resolve this.

Just and update, GPU features are already available in beta.

OP has posted a comment saying the issue is resolved, I am posting his comment for other users looking for solution:

Second problem. The same authentication screen came up when I trued to authenticate an attached disk. Password wasn't accepted (as before). So from a terminal / ssh session I ran 'sudo bash' and then used passwd to re-set the root password, which then worked when authentication requested next. So the main problem was the root password authentication. Problem resolved and thanks

Google compute engine IP ranges

As the other answer says, Google describes how to get the list here: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/faq#where_can_i_find_product_name_short_ip_ranges

I found a good script here for following spf records:

https://aplawrence.com/Kerio/recursive_spf.html

create the file lookup.perl as:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$domain=shift @ARGV;
@results=getit($domain);


sub getit {
  my $domain=shift;

  my @foo=`nslookup -q=TXT $domain`;
  my @results=();
  foreach (@foo) {
   next if not /$domain\ttext/;
   s/$domain\ttext = "v=spf1//;
   @results=split /\s+/;
   foreach (@results) {
    next if /-all/;
    print "$_\n";
    if (/include:/) {
     s/include://;
     getit($_);
    }
   } 
  } 
}

then run: ./lookup.perl _cloud-netblocks.googleusercontent.com | grep ip4
