On the subject of asustor nas - does anyone here have a scooby doo [thats clue] on how to access the bios? I have an old AS302T that i want to mess about with but not having any luck with esc, f2, f8 f10 and f12. is there a sequence of key presses or any such 'trickery' thanks

Hi all... Im posting in the hope that there is a 'quck fix' for my issue before i go into a deep dive trouble shoot here we go: Im passing through a GTX1050Ti to my VM's. Its the only card in the server and its bound to VFIO. With multiple Linux Vm's there are NO issues, pass through works fine and i get output at the monitor. all hunky dory. However, with Windoze 10/11 im not getting any output at the monitor. The VM is not freezing/crashing, by all accounts and purposes as far as i can tell it seems to be working as it should be - apart from there being no output at the monitor. Its the same card, same monitor, same hdmi cable - works for linux but not Windoze. Anyone have a scooby about what I could possibly have look at before I delve deeper into this issue.ppreciated Much Appreciated

Same issue here too. No solution it seems apart from the 777 - which isnt really a solution.

ok, so ... it turns out i do have sound, but not as i want it. I dont have sound on splashtop. Its not a deal breaker for me but would be handy. I have a hdmi cable from my passed through gpu to one hdmi port on my monitor - when im on that port the sound works fine, which i suppose makes sense. Just need to figure out why there is no sound on linux via splashtop. Im going to guess its to so with the splashtop streamer now rather than the hardware.

Linux pop-os 5.11.0-7620-generic going through the google searches now ..

Im at a bit of a loss as to what to do here. The sound works great on Windows 10 and 11 vm's with gpu passthrough. I have a GTX1050 Ti and I also have the onboard AMD sound enabled in the VM and am using that for the sound and not the GPU audio. Like i say, works a treat on WIN VM's. On POPos both sound devices show up in the settings. I can select them both as well. When i 'test' the sound in settings there is nothing but silence [yes i have checked my speakers] lspci -v show the below for the devices - If im right - looks like the kernel module and drivers are incorrect? If so, how do i fix this. thanks. 02:00.0 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

My syslog file in /var/log/syslog has the following error message: Mar 14 11:21:39 urus kernel: vfio-pci 0000:0c:00.0: BAR 1: can't reserve [mem 0xb0000000-0xbfffffff 64bit pref] It repeats this error so many times that upon restart and/or boot up i get a warning notification that something is wrong with my server and the 'log' scale in the Dashboard/memory is red @ 100%. Oh, and the size of the syslog file is 126MB with the repetion of that one line above 0c:00:0 is my Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti which i have binded to vfio via the tools/system devices page as I have to use it for the VMs. Im struggling to get the VMs to work properly at the moment. I had a Win10 vm working with the card just this morning. I added an Arch VM, with VNC and that worked too. I tried to add the 1050 to the arch VM and it was a no go. Yes i made sure the WIN 10 vm was stopped first. Went back to VNC on the arch vm and got that "Guest has not initialized the display yet" The 1050 is in slot 2 in my mobo. My 5700xt is in slot one and selected as initial display in mobo bios too. 5700 is NOT bound in vfio. Including the Diagnostic here and the output from the /var/log/syslog file here. Id be very grateful for any help. thanks urus-diagnostics-20210314-1217.zip SyslogOutput.zip

Initially the two VMs that I had dissapeared after i typed 'libvirtd' into the console. Did a reboot and the VM's are back. So im guessing the service is running. Have not had a chance to try the virt manager again yet.

Tried to use the virt manager docker as im having no luck with VMs on unraid & i got a error sayin that virtmanager could not detect the libvirtd service... and indeed : How do I sort this? Thanks.

can you expand on the "access console, modify /macinabox/unraid.sh" bit cheers

Ah right. I think the longest cable i would need would be about 8m to the AMP. There is the option to put the server closer to the AMP but that would involve some moving about of furniture etc. something to think about i suppose. For now though just trying to get a little idea of what sort of spec would suffice for the client.

Could you elaborate on this please. Thanks.

So Im setting up an unraid server with a Ryzen 3700x and an Radeon 5700xt. I want to use it mainly for storage and back up but want to get into the world of VMs and Gaming from the Unraid server and just learn more about what i can do with Unraid. Flight Sim and a bit of F1 is about all my gaming interest. If i have understood the various post and videos corectly I would need to 'passthrough' to the GPU for gaming to be playable. Is this correct? The other question that I then have is how good/what spec [cpu/ram/gpu] realisticly does the client machine need to be in order to play the games from the server at a reasonable level? I will most probably game at 1080p on a telly and prefer high settings. Thanks.

Ok, so i have just found in my box of pc components an i7 -2700k CPU, sandy bridge. Bit long in the tooth or not?

Thanks for your reply Zonediver. I suppose I could sell the MOBO then and go Intel for unraid. Whats the minimum intel generation i should stick with - Coffee lake .. or newer than that? 12 WD drives eh lol.. nice.
