Ubuntu VM will not boot until VNC connection

[hotshot9092]

Hi,

As stated, when I start up my VM through FreeNAS UI, the VM will say "RUNNING." However, the machine does not actually boot until I attempt to connect to it through VNC Viewer. It is a real pain to have to VNC to this machine after reboot to access my services.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop, installed in UEFI mode with bhyve. Once running, there are no other issues with this install. Makes me think I messed up with bhyve settings on install, but still is odd to me.

Would appreciate any insight.

Thanks.

Take a look VM -> devices -> vnc -> edit -> "wait to boot"

Wow! I knew it would be something trivial. That worked, thanks so much!
