Re: [vfio-users] Nvidia Error 43 and vendor_id state='on'

When I get error 43, I generally just delete the video card (and the virtual one) from the device manager a few times, rebooting in between. Eventually it comes back just fine. It's definitely not ideal, but it's worked for me so far. On Sat, Jun 11, 2016 at 8:53 AM, David

Re: [vfio-users] [Virt-Manager]Unable to install Nvidia driver (crash during installation)

Does the vendor ID need to be exactly 12 characters to work reliably? I believe I've been using nvidia43fix as mine, and had unreliable results. ~75% of the time my VM boots with code 43. On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 10:30 AM, Alex Williamson < alex.l.william...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Jun 17,

Possibly more appropriate to the spirit of another thread, but for what it's worth Alex, I'm using both emulated graphics and an NVIDIA GTX 970 together, successfully. Not going to try to derail this further, just felt that it's worth noting for anybody who catches this in the archive. On Mon,

Re: [vfio-users] Nvidia GTX 970 sound is choppy

Alternately, if that doesn't help you, Razer's got a virtual surround app that generates a virtual sound card. I use that as my default sound card in the VM. That doesn't solve the problem if you're using the sound directly on the host, though. I play through in-home streaming, and Steam picks

Re: [vfio-users] NVIDIA GPU Passthrough to Win10 - Driver Disabled (Code 43)

I don't have an XML example handy, but you're missing the Nvidia workaround flags. In the CLI version, they look like the following: OPTS="$OPTS -cpu host,kvm=off,hv_time,hv_relaxed,hv_vapic,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_vendor_id=Nvidia43FIX" All those hv_ flags are necessary to get around Nvidia's

[vfio-users] USB Devices Hang During Audio Playback

Alright, this one I'm struggling to come up with an answer for. Last night, I added a USB 3 PCI-E expansion card to my PC. Luckily, it ended up in its own IOMMU group, so I passed it through to my VM with no problems at all. For reference, I've got a USB device switch connected to both the new

I've used both together, but I don't remember if one was mirroring the other or if I did it as dual-monitor. It was a configuration I abandoned early on. It DID work, but it caused (about 75% of the time) Nvidia code 43 issues for me. But it definitely did work outside of that. On Wed, Jan 18,

Re: [vfio-users] Nvidia code 43 with Ubuntu 16.04 host

Solving the libvirt version issue is easy enough. Add ppa:jacob/virtualisation and upgrade libvirt. He's got 2.1.0 in there, along with updated versions of qemu and virt-manager. On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 1:00 PM, Alex Williamson wrote: > On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at

I can confirm that GFE doesn't care if the CPU doesn't match what the physical CPU offers in terms of cores. My i5-4670k is chugging along just fine with 3 cores, as far as Windows knows. On Tue, Oct 4, 2016 at 3:42 PM, Hristo Iliev wrote: > Am 04.10.2016 18:32, schrieb Brett

Re: [vfio-users] Win10 Guest, stability is horrible and freeze quickly

Put the 960 into the one that goes 4x if you're that worried about it, but it shouldn't be a huge deal. I don't know if the 960 can even saturate a 4x. It might be able to, but since it's a lower performance card anyway, it shouldn't really matter. On Fri, Oct 7, 2016 at 12:36 PM, Berillions

Re: [vfio-users] Passthrough USB PCI Controller

I'm doing exactly this with no significant problem. The way I handle it is that I've got a script that binds the specific card to vfio-pci at runtime, and I call that as a part of my startup script for the VM. /usr/local/bin/vfio-bind #!/bin/bash modprobe vfio-pci for dev in "$@"; do

I actually use the script. On a quick glance though the patch looked solid to me, though I'm not a kernel dev. On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 1:32 PM, Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> wrote: > On 10/25/16 16:30, Jayme Howard wrote: > > I'm doing exactly this with no significant prob

I do exactly what you described as your original solution, though I've got a USB switch inline as well, because my monitor doesn't have USB passthrough. On Sun, Mar 19, 2017 at 9:14 AM, Patrick O'Callaghan wrote: > I have VFIO passthrough working with a Windows 10 VM, running on

Re: [vfio-users] Console output on the host stops after launching a VM with vfio GPU

Are you backgrounding qemu? If you just call it from the CLI, it won't fork into the background and return the terminal to you. You could launch it with "nohup &" and it should return the terminal to you. On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 7:16 PM, Roman Mamedov wrote: > On Mon, 8 May
