I've been using VMs hosted in unRAID from a variety of different clients over WAN and LAN and have been more than happy with the performance for most things. Chromebook using Chrome Remote Desktop again absolutely fine. MK808b+ SOC running Android using Microsoft RD app from App store has been fine (port forwarding & IP info required) VNC using RealVNC again absolutely fine (port forwarding & IP info required) This across a mixed range of VMs and Clients, Linux and Windows. Pi would have zero problems imo. The MK8080b+ SOC is similar hardware. Using Remmima or Chrome Remote Desktop to control the VMs on the server. However, this was all for standard stuff - coding, some browsing, nothing major. Youtube not a great experience with vGPU. Now for the tricky part. I'm hoping to do a little more heavy lifting on one of the VMs in the unRAID server and do some 3D modelling work. My server currently doesn't have a second GPU (runs headless) and so all VMs are using emulated GPUs. Will passing through a dedicated GPU to that (Windows) VM that needs to do some of the heavy lifting (bearing in mind that it will still be accessed over one of the protocols above) improve performance? Just trying to figure out whether or not I really need to add a GPU for this task. On the same subject, given that RemoteFX requires Hyper-V, am I right in thinking that there is no way for unRAID KVM to harness this? (Even if I host the VM on a hosted Windows Server within KVM?)

What OS are you running in the VM?

Change the resolution in the Display Settings of the VM...

I didn't have powerdown plugin installed. I went for the shit-my-pants option and did a hard reset and seems like I've survived. Powerdown plugin being installed now!!

ugh, after months of all going swimmingly, I thumb spasmed some command whilst using midnight commander to try and move some files from a share to another. Xterm disappeared and I now have no WebGUI (browser just looping ad infinitum) I can SSH into the server still, but I've lost the ability to safely shut down the array and reboot. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Other option is to use WOL to organise it for you. I have VM Manager plugin with VM WOL plugin too. Wake On Lan Android App on phone can be used to switch VMs on once you are on the home network. Really very useful for me! Ridiculously easy to setup too.

yup, good spot. All sorted! Thanks. (Ugh Windows 10 VM boot loop of death)

Javascript enabled? Any ad-blockers running?

Hi, None of my VMs are booting after I upgraded to the 6.2 beta. I followed the steps to change the VNC graphics driver to QXL, but note that the documentation also says fs0: cd efi cd boot bootx64.efi Can anyone point me to this previously documented procedure? Each VM returns a 'No Bootable Device' issue and gets stuck there. I can get an IPXE prompt with CTRL+B, but nothing else (nowhere to use the above commands) I've done a couple of searches for what I thought would point me at it, but I'm clearly missing something! Thanks
