    [Deprecated] tobbenb's Docker Template Repository - WebGrab+Plus

    in Docker Containers

    Posted

    Now you need to rely on two people to get the Tvheadend working with hdhomerun.

    Would this be easier to be done in a VM?

     

      Drivers for hdhomerun are in the docker. Tvheadend- stable did not load for me but Tvheadend-Unstable did. My hdhomerun prime shows up. I can not answer much more because I have never used the program and have to learn how to set it up.  The modified unraid files are only needed to use hardware that requires kernel drivers like a tuner card in your unraid pc.

    [PLUGIN DEPRECATED] VM Manager (2015.02.24)

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

      Wanted a fresh install and made a new flash form: http://dnld.lime-technology.com/beta/unRAIDServer-6.0-beta12-x86_64.zip

      Checked for updates.

      Updated Dynamix webGui.

      Intalled via "install plugin" tab using: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/vmMan/master/vmMan.plg.

      I can not create a storage pool on the cache or an array drive. Comes back "No storage pools defined. Create from template or add XML description".

     

    Reed

     

    Please follow the directions in the first post; this means installing the plugin using the correct package: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/dynamix.kvm.manager/master/dynamix.kvm.manager.plg

     

    My bad that is what I did but when I copied the link for the post used wrong one. I made sure that I used the right one. Just to make sure I uninstalled rebooted and reinstalled same results

    Edit:

     

    More info:

     

    Tried using a directory that did not already exist. The directory is created but same result no pool created. (User root group root permissions 40777)

    Edgar,

     

      Gpu pass through does not work with vnc see earlier post. Do not know if pass through works the same for everyone but video shows up on the display even before OS is loaded. I have not tried this on a tv. Justin can tell you if this is true with a tv. I would like to know myself. Targets that worked for me: Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, SteamOs, Ubuntu12.04, Point Linux all 64bit. Sill playing the list grows. Once you have a template from a working config it becomes easy.

    Justin,

     

    I have not been able to pass through video and run vnc at the same time try removing it from your xml file.

    Trying adding this line after <qemu:commandline> and prior to your devices.

     

          <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

          <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>

     

     

    JonP has his example on the 1st post.

     

    Not sure what that device is? I tried using the line but to no avail maybe different entries are needed for my motherboard?

     

    MOBO:  ASRock - Z87 Extreme6

    CPU:      Intel® Core i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz

    Web virt manager is rejecting this code, it completely disappears when I create a new instance from xml.

     

      <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on'/>

    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=01:00.1,bus=root.1,addr=00.1'/>

    This is from virtmanager (latest,supporting Q35 machine) from my arch VM

    Its untouched, so you need to tweak network,VNC, and more to fit your needs....... but its a original q35 machine.

    Thanks so much. I had no problems modifying and Windows7 is up and running. Now I can try to pass thru my video. Thanks again!

    Some pointers on KVM, GPU Pass Through, and Syslinux.cfg

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    Using web virt manager I copy the the vm.xlm contents to the clipboard, then destroy the instance. Using web virt manager new instance from xlm. I paste from the clipboard and edit line:

     

      <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.1'>hvm</type>

    to:

      <type arch='x86_64' machine='q35'>hvm</type>

     

    Then create and I get:

     

    internal error: PCI bus is not compatible with the device at 0000:00:1e.0. Device requires a PCI Express slot, which is not provided by bus 0000:00

     

    also tried with same error:

        <type arch='x86_64' machine='q35'>hvm</type>

        <loader>/usr/share/qemu/bios-256k.bin</loader>

    [PLUGIN] Web Virtual Manager (depreciated)

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    I'm struggling with GPU passthrough using the new plugin.  It seems like the old qemu:commandline tags are ignored, and I'm not having any luck with the hostdev tags. 

     

    Does anyone have GPU passthrough working for windows (I'm trying for Win7)?  If so, I'd appreciate hints or the relevant pieces of your xml file.

     

    Part of my problem is that if I use dmacias' vnc settings, that allows vnc, but seems to break the GPU drivers.  If I don't include the vnc settings, I can't vnc or RDP, and there is no video from the GPU DVI output.  So I have to force shutdown the VM.

    You cannot modify an existing "instance" in web virt manager to add GPU pass through or, like you're experiencing, it will drop the QEMU command line arguments.  You have to create a new instance (click from XML) and copy and paste that in there.

     

      Wow never would have thought that. I was experiencing the same issue editing an existing "instance". I thought there was a problem with the lines being entered or the hardware I was trying to pass through. Other lines that I added or edited would be accepted. Thanks for the heads up. In the mean time maybe I will set up a virt manager on an other machine.

    Nice work client installed without a hitch. I have some questions is this what I should be seeing:

    (192.168.1.110 unraid      192.168.1.1 router)

     

    Should my KVM windows instance see the Vpn address?

     

        <interface type='network'>

          <mac address='52:54:00:45:05:d2'/>

          <source network='xenbr0'/>

          <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
