    Have a look at my usbip_gui plugin I am planning to rename it to usb manager

     

    I found your plugin from the plugin menu of Unraid, installed it and went to the setting page, however it went to a blank white screen. I hit browser refresh several times, but no good. So I did a reboot, unRaid did not bootup. So I powered off my system.

     

    I powered it back on, but it did not switched on - WEIRD!

     

    After an hour of tinkering, machine did not power on still. What a coincidence.

     

    Not sure what went wrong, but another prob of mine is how to revert back the unRaid USB. So noob of me

    Need Help to Re-activate unRAID Console or GUI After Linux VM Poweroff

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    I've been searching the internet trying to find a solution to my case. I've read a lot and watched videos and I've learned a solution to fix issues just like yours, but not to mine.

     

    In your case you don't need to go back to the unRaind GUI or Console.

     

    You can use any browser in your VM to run a timed script, just enough time for you to turnoff your current VM, until the script automatically turnon your other VM.

    You would need the Community App plugin and the User Script Plugin, then watch this SpaceInvaderOne video:

    Does anyone know another plugin which can work with this plugin to automate it?

     

    I need to automatically reattach a mouse to a VM. 

     

    Part of my workflow is to suspend a Linux VM, then suspend the unRaid server too. Then wake up the unRaid server, then manually wakeup the Linux VM after. Problem is, USB mouse does not work after waking up the Linux VM. So Im using this - usb hotplug plugin to reattach the USB mouse.

     

    It has been great so far, however, I need to automate things. Can anyone jump in and help please?

    NOTE: 
    1. My Unraid server is only being used to Virtualize Linux Mint and Windows 10. Part of my job and workflow to use these OSes simultaneously.
    2. Im suspending the Linux VM to preserve the state and save on power bills.
    3. I can't let the Unraid server running 24/7 since power outages is frequent in my town and I only have 3-minute UPS backup.

    Same issue with me. UnRaid 6.9.0 stable, GPU is GT 710, Linuxmint VM, installed using vnc. After installation and reboot, it turns black nodisplay. 

     

    I have another LinuxmintVM booting from a physical disk - display fine.

     

    Im working on a workaround and will post update here when successful

     

     

     

    I got it working!

     

    I've cloned the physical disk to an image using the guide from the wiki - Physical to VM conversion.

    It is a Linuxmint 20.1 and it worked using the vdisk image. 

     

    The gpu btw which is a NVIDIA GT710 is using an edited dumped bios as per SpaceInvaderOne guide.

     

    The physical disk has nvidia drivers in it and has the latest updates, along with Linuxmint updates

    updated the post

    Hi, I just got my hands on the 6.9.0 version of unRAID along with a Basic License.

     

    Here's what I want to accomplish:

    1. Start unraid server, Linuxmint VM Auto starts - this works

    2.a Poweroff or suspend Linuxmint VM, should get me back to unRaid console or gui

    2.b Poweroff the VM should take me back to Unraid GUI/Console, where gpu should be handed back to unraid. Is this even possible?

     

    Current Setup:

    - Ryzen-based System; 3700x, Aorus B550 Mobo

    - Single GPU Passthrough working, using GT710 - shared with unRaid server

    - Linuxmint VM boots off from physical NVME stick, UEFI enabled

    - Linuxmint VM; OVMF BIOS, PCIe ACS override enabled, gpu/sound passed thru.

     

    Also, I need to make suspend/resume work on this machine, where:

    1. Manually suspend the Linuxmint VM

    2. Suspend or Sleep the unRaid Server using S3 Plugin. 

    3. Manually wake/resume/start the unRaid server, Linuxmint should auto resume/wake

    Note: No other machine to access the unRaid server via ssh/telnet.

     

    UPDATE 1:

    1. I've thrown in another GPU, nVidia GT710 - as dedicated GPU passthru for my Windows 10 VM

     

    NOTE: 
    1. My Unraid server is only being used to Virtualize Linux Mint and Windows 10. Part of my job and workflow to use these OSes simultaneously.
    2. Im suspending the Linux VM to preserve the state and save on power bills.
    3. I can't let the Unraid server running 24/7 since power outages is frequent in my town and I only have 3-minute UPS backup.

    4. I need the unRaid webUI access to manually wakeup the VM's, since I didn't found any solution yet on how I would wake the VMs automatically

     

    UPDATE 2:

    Here's what I want to accomplish:

    1. Start unraid server, Linuxmint VM Auto starts - this works great with auto usb mouse/kb auto connect using "USBIP GUI" plugin, with manual tweaks/adjustment -- by @SimonF

     

    2.a Poweroff or suspend Linuxmint VM, should get me back to unRaid console or gui. -- NO longer needed since it can be done via web ui using another machine in the network, OR, use "before sleep" command in S3 plugin setting. Im newbie in unRAID, so I'm not aware of this plugin before and what they can do.

     

    2.b Poweroff the VM should take me back to Unraid GUI/Console, where gpu should be handed back to unraid. Is this even possible? --- I've searched extensively and this is not doable and supported by unRAID. I came across some old topics to release the GPU back to unRAID but did not actually try it, because it's too complicated/difficult to do, with my current skill/knowledge.

     

    WHAT'S WORKING:

    1. Turn on unRaid server, Linuxmint VM powers on too using unRaid VM setting - auto start

    2. Suspend Mode: I click on suspend button in Linuxmint VM, it turns to "pmsuspended" state. Next, I click Sleep button from the unRaid menu.

    3. Waking it up: Hit any key on my keyboard wakes my unRaid machine up, along with the suspended Linuxmint VM, with auto attached keyboard/mouse working. The Linuxmint VM in unRaid is auto woke up by command "virsh dompmwakeup" in the "after wakeup" setting of the S3 plugin (Im not aware of this setting before).

     

    So, that said - I won't need the console or gui on the unRaid machine itself anymore.

    You need to use the latest beta, it can be download from here:

    https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/next/unRAIDServer-6.9.0-beta29-x86_64.zip

    Thank you for your advice.

     

     However, I don't want to use the BETA version, and I'm aware of that release too.

     

    The mission is to use the latest STABLE release, since it will be used on a production environment. So that's the main reason I asked on this forum "How can we install the drivers manually in the unRaid USB Flash Drive"? Is this even possible?

    Hi Folks,

     

    My first ever post on this forum, using a freshly made forum account.

     

    I'm trying out the software and I can't go further due to network issue, no Internet connection because my Ethernet controller is not working. No loaded drivers for it.

     

    However, after doing a research, found out that I can manually load/install the driver for my Ethernet Controller, which is a Realtek r8125 - inbuilt in to my Gigabyte Aorus B550 PRO AC motherboard. So if other guys out there want to make your LAN work in Linux Ubuntu, etc, you just install the drivers.

     

    Okay, moving forward, I installed the drivers and got it working on my Linux-based OS Linuxmint 20. Driver was downloaded from:

    https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-pci-express-software

     

    Under Unix/Linux > 2.5G Ethernet LINUX driver r8125 for kernel up to 5.6

     

    Now, my question is, can we install the drivers manually in the unRaid USB Flash Drive? Or can we install it while on the command line? 

     

    Any advise/ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.
