I Tried to make a picture of the error. The system wont let me save it. I click the save button and I get errors. The first error I get when I try to access the array shares is "An error occurred while reconnecting to Z: to \\TOWER....(my share folders) Microsoft windows network: The local device name is already in use. This connection has not been restored." I tried to use snips to make a copy or a PNG to post here. it pulls up the save as screen and click on save and nothing happens. like I didnt click anything. I open up the file explorer and I also get a "network error" Windows cannot access \\tower ... (my share folders) check spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. to try to identify and resolve network problems, click diagnose." I have clicked and it knows not what is wrong. The Windows 11 VM was working it still does. what stopped was the network share once i updated. everything is tied to the shares. my desktop some applications documents. everything is mapped to the array. I now cant access any of it.

i was able to start the new VM with the virtual display. then I added the video card after everything was set up. i don't know why it was telling me that the name already existed. It took the name after i took off the video card.

my windows 11 VM with my amd video card has has problems since an update. I cant tell you when it was like a year ago. And now I updated the windows 11 and it cant see the shared folder on the array. So I thought I would install a linux system. And got what you see above. My windows 11 isnt working and I cant create a new VM in linux. I tryed to update unraid. that didnt work. there is no file called that, that is what i was naming the new VM .

VM creation errorinternal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2025-08-16T18:09:02.124211Z qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to read /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-13-Dad Zorin/master-key.aes: Failed to open file “/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-13-Dad Zorin/master-key.aes”: No such file or directory

All my windows 11 VMs are freezing and pausing. I tried to reinstall windows on one of them and the vm is pausing during install. Its also pausing during the windows repair.

I ended up putting team viewer on the vm while it was in vnc. I then changed the video from vnc to the amd video card. I restarted the VM and networked in using team viewer. I was then able to update the driver for the video card while using team viewer. After that the monitors came on. I hope this will be the way I can do it every time.

I don't know what the "CLI" is. is that the command line terminal?

in the upper right hand corner of the UI. there is an icon ">_" this is the terminal. i went into this and typed "echo blacklist rx7800xt". it came back with some stuff I don't remember. It didn't say it didn't work. I still cant use the video card in the VM.

what is the cli? and where do I find it?

i did what I said above. It didnt work.

so I create a file in the location /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf, and in that file i write, "echo blacklist i915"? When I made the rom last time using what I found in the above video. It made a file called "rx7800xt.rom. should I name the file rx7800xt.conf? and inside the file write "echo blacklist rx7800xt? And how do I get there without pulling the thumb drive, putting it in my laptop and creating the file. then putting it back in my tower and rebooting.

I made another windows 11 machine. I did what I thought was exactly what I did before. The Driver ROM didn't work this time. I will try to blacklist the gpu now. I will follow the link. but is there a walk through that can tell me step by step how to do that? i cant even boot into gui mode wtih that video card.

I am building an Unreal Engine 5 Gaming server. I compiled the engine from source Everything seems to have went well. I am running it on vnc. I am thinking this error is because it doesn't see a physical video card. Maybe I'm wrong. This Build is going to hold the game. I think its called headless. But in order to start the process of programming it I followed the compiling instructions on the epic website. https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.3/en-US/building-unreal-engine-from-source/ Again we are not going to use it to play it. I think I just need to fake a video card that is compatible. I am going to continue to look else where. I thought I would start here first. I have read things about putting it on amazon servers. Maybe running it headless. Running on an amazon server is running it on a VM. I wonder if we can get it to work by mimicking AWS install. I will be looking into that too.
