I have play around with this, and for now, I think the power state is not actually related to the problem. It kind of behaves weirdly though Turning off persistence mode sets it back to P0, but it doesn't make VM start. After looking at dmesg, I now think it's related to OpenRGB (which I made working thanks to your modifications). I disabled modprobe and OpenRGB docker). So far it's working, but as this was pretty random problem - I am not 100% sure. Anyway, I will let you know If anything changes - but for now, sorry for bothering and thanks for help

Did anyone notice any problems with GPU passthrough? I do things in this order: 1. Serwer starts with plex (config with HW transcoding) 2. If i want to game I start the script to switch 3. Scripts turns plex container off (nvidia-smi is not showing anything) 4. Scripts waits 60s and turns Windows vm on. The thing is that it only works sometimes. In other cases it doesn't start and locks the web vms UI. From the spaceinvader videos I learned that this behavior is caused by GPU being busy, but all containers using GPU are off and nvidia-smi doesn't show any processes. If it failes, after the vm run attempt, nvidia-smi is showing: Unable to determine the device handle for GPU 00000000:2F:00.0: Unknown Error The weirdest thing is, that after such a lock i have to restart the server to get it working and something like this happens: 1. All other VMs are turing off 2. Web ui is no longer available 3. Windows vm turns ON for a moment 4. Server shuts down I tried to reset gpu between shutting down plex and starting vm though: 1. fuser -v /dev/nvidia* <- didn't help 2. nvidia-smi -i 00000000:2F:00.0 -r <- didn't work as this is primary gpu Thanks for any help Edit: It seems that vm randomly doesn't work even if plex (or any other nvidia container) wasn't running at all. The only time it works it's when the VM is set to autostart. Weird thing I noticed is that when VM autostarted and then stopped, the power state of the card is set to P0. During transcoding it shows P2. After start of server or after transcoding the state is: P8 or P0. If it's P0 VM can be started, if it's P8 - it doesn't work. It's just a guess though I am not sure if it's related (maybe it's your power saving mechanism? ) Also, i noticed that at boot time, peristance mode is enabled, but only for one card (not the one I have problems with)

From the perspective of someone who installed it: I think more verbose instructions would be sufficient

Okay, It's working Both the system and plex transcoding Error was related to me doing something very stupid as I said. Anyway, during testing i left another pendrive in the pc with unraid. It did contain previous version of your kernel. Funny thing is that pendrive wasn't working anyway (non unique guuid) but the license was fine, so i didn't notice (it was very small pendrive for my defense ). It seems like it was using both of them Anyway, thank you very much p.s. If you would consider providing paypal or bitcoin address, I would be happy to buy you a beer

I am probably doing something very stupid here, but it seems to me that those are exactly the same files:

I did replace all of the provided files using new release, for both nvidia drivers and kernel package (did it once again just to be sure), but the problem persist. In the first post you put this: dont try to install the utils packages on any modified rootfs .... they need to be installed on stock unraid rootfs Does that mean that i should replace those files using original unraid file from before i started?

I updated to the newest version. It does seemthat the nvidia installation has gone further. Unfortunately somehow it failed: logs have following errors: /bin/bash: line 14: nvidia-smi: command not found installation... failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch Here is a photo of this: For some reason, it caused webpanel to not start. p.s. hypervisor/libvirt errors are not related, it was there before (something with vm backup plugin)

Hello Great work, thank you Is there any reason why it wouldn't work with plex (linuxserver/plex) The card shows up in the nvidia-smi from the host and the container, but plex (despite enabling hardware acceleration) doesn't use it. I have installed your kernel + nvidia driver utils from the latest release on unraid 6.8.3. Do you have any advice as to what might be the reason? Thanks in advance
