Have a look, I will as well. ooops, uploaded the wrong file. tower-diagnostics-20170502-0959.zip

Since I upgraded to 6.3 I keep getting parity errors. My drives are fine, and I even added a second parity drive. Also I noticed stability issues. What's the deal with 6.3?

I've been asking that since version 6.2.4 It's not that difficult, setup a Linux VM with storage and install LibreELEC. After install shut down. Edit XML and add/change your <channel> and <video> sections as per Living Legend instructions. Make sure your Video section reflects the old video section that the VM was created with. Remember each time you change the VM by clicking edit the <channel> and <video> sections will be reverted to the previous state. As such you will need to edit the XML again.

@Squid Several of us have gotten this template working with VNC now, perhaps you can link in the sticky post to it or make this post sticky.

Thanks

I'm contemplating dual parity in my unRAID array. Can someone explain to me what the benefits of dual parity drives are, beside the fact that you can have 2 failed drives?

Also if you change the VM resolution to 640x480p it becomes way more responsive.

Template works thanks for that. All I had to change in my XML were the <channel> and <video> sections. What a beautiful sight.

Oops sorry.

Sorry, but that is just not true. I'm running the Limetech template for LibreELEC 7.0.1 without any GPU passthrough.

I think I might grab a cheap Video Card for this purpose. A passively cooled Radeon 5450 only costs about $50 CAD. This way I can avoid this problem in the future, and roll out my own LibreELEC VMs. Although I need to check if I have the room in my case for another PCI card.

If you have a GPU that you're going to pass through, this XML template will work. After you install the OS add your GPU to the XML. Myself I can install the OS, etc. But it fails at starting Xorg Server. I don't have a GPU I am using with LibreELEC. <domain type='kvm' id='19'> <name>LibreELEC8</name> <uuid>6c40fd67-230c-81cd-0610-37ae556400c1</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="LibreELEC" icon="libreelec.png" os="libreelec"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>1048576</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>1048576</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='5'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.7'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/cache/appdata/LibreELEC_8/LibreELEC8/vdisk1.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hda' bus='sata'/> <boot order='2'/> <alias name='sata0-0-0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/system/data/iso/LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0.0.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdb' bus='sata'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='sata0-0-1'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <alias name='ide'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'> <alias name='pcie.0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge'> <model name='i82801b11-bridge'/> <alias name='pci.1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1e' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <model name='pci-bridge'/> <target chassisNr='2'/> <alias name='pci.2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:d7:e5:b0'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='e1000'/> <alias name='net0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/0'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-19-LibreELEC8/org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='disconnected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <alias name='input0'/> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input1'/> </input> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input2'/> </input> <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' websocket='5700' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='en-us'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='vmvga' vram='65536' heads='1' primary='yes'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> <seclabel type='none' model='none'/> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'> <label>+0:+100</label> <imagelabel>+0:+100</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain>

The template VM works perfect without a GPU pass through. It's been running stable for a long time for me. I'm using the LibreELEC template. What I want to know is, who created it, and how did they manage to get it working with VNC.

The only thing that is holding me back from upgrading to Krypton is my uR VM, which I use as a headless for updating my DB. When LimeTech chose to supports these VM templates it's probably a good idea to stay on top and update them as well.

Oh I get it as far as installing and booting, but it fails on boot. Also I'm talking about the official Generic build/the instructions you postet, not the community build. I have no interest in Retro gaming at all. I will try again next week when I'm done my course and have my new TV.

Any word on updates for the OpenELEC or LibreELEC VM templates? Looking to run Krypton in a VM for my database updates. I've been trying to create my own but it fails at boot.

Enable SAMBA in current version of Kodi, then run backup. Copy backup to your desktop. Create a new VM with the latest version. Enable SAMBA in new VM, copy backup to new version, restore. Test... if satisfied keep new VM, delete old one.

John, I did try that method I could not get it to work.

I hear ya, but is there any way I can run 7.95.3? I tried creating my own VM and even tried an update tar for the generic on the VM. Can't get either to work.

Are the Krypton KVM templates available yet? I'm on version 6.2.4 and was wondering if the new templates are available in the Unraid v6.3 versions. Update: LivingLegend has compiled a version of a headless Krypton or LibreELEC 8 image that works without a GPU. You have to update the <channel type='unix'> and <video> tags as reflected in his post. Instructions below.

I get this from a couple templates. Any ideas? You've added a /config mapping. There's probably already one there if you hit show advanced That was it thanks. Finally got all my stuff up and running again. Luckily my MariaDB instance was still intact. This has my entire KODI database. 24 Months old and still running like a champ.

I'm getting the following error trying to create a docker from a template. Even after I delete the old image and template. I get this from a couple templates. Any ideas?

If all else I can see all the docker settings, such as port numbers, etc.

I remember most of the templates I used, so that shouldn't be a problem. Also like I said most of the persistence data is safe.

Where do I change which .IMG file docker points to, where is the setting for that? Trying to restore my old docker containers after my flash drive fried.
