This no longer works as of today. EAC clears but you get kicked from the match with battleye

Yes! I know Loaded up the game to play with my son and was booted from the match about 45 seconds in - seems like the detection has been updated and the settings no longer work. Haven't been an avid gamer for years, and not kept up with it - why would running in a VM be an issue? Is this the way certain hacks/cheats are made? I'm just playing on a different setup and want to use the same hardware for different things!

The performance was great, the gametime was fun.

Guess I'm searching to beat BattleEye, or find another combination of setting that hides the VM status.

This worked for me!

Hey there,

Confirming this also worked for me recently. Windowss 11 VM, GTX3070 Passthrough and can now play Fortnite successfully. Performance of the VM in general seems unaffected, so will incorporate this into my templates going forward.

Thank you for the tips here!

Regards,

Xav.

An interesting note: I have a Win10 VM running fine with everything turned on and enabled. Not one freeze. The only difference I can spot is TPM. Is this possibly the cause?

Hi there,

I am experiencing intermittent lockups with a Win10 VM too. More so when the system is idle, but also when using it occasionally. How do you disable TPM? Is this an XML config option? Or were you trying to pass it through?

I am passing through an NVME drive, an NVIDIA GTX3070 and the mainboard USB hub so I can use keyboard, mouse etc. All seems to work....right up until it locks up.

Rick_Sanchez,

cups Docker container -> Edit -> Change from 'Basic View' to 'Advanced View' (upper right toggle)

Under "Extra Parameters" append this to the end: --device=$(readlink -f /dev/printer1)

Make sure "Printer:" field is /dev/printer1

========== Long Version (SymLink and docker config) ============

Pre-Req:

* Install cups docker app

* Plug your USB printer in

Hi there,

Experimenting with this a bit. I have an older Canon MG5760 printer, which is connected via Wifi. There are Linux drivers available from Canon's website - the manual for Linux seems to support Wifi printing. Do I just need to mount and install within the Docker container, then do the CUPS setup stuff?

Cheers,

Hi there,

Adding to the list of posts about 6.10.3 and GPU Passthrough, especially for older NVIDIA hardware.

I recently got a hold of an older GTX660 card. This is the second card (the first being a basic GT1030 in slot 1) in the system.

Further setup:

M/B: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. X399 SLI PLUS (MS-7B09) Version 2.0

BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. Version A.70. Dated: 11/14/2018

CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 16-Core @ 3500 MHz

HVM: Enabled

IOMMU: Enabled

Cache: 1536 KiB, 8 MB, 32 MB

Memory: 32 GiB DDR4 (max. installable capacity 512 GiB)

Network: eth0: 1000 Mbps, full duplex, mtu 1500

Kernel: Linux 5.15.46-Unraid x86_64

I have poured over these forums for weeks - SpaceInavder1 videos, and so on. I finally thought I managed to get it working - no error 43, and looking great via HDMI output to an LG 34" widescreen.

However, every few minutes or more it seems to lock up, becoming unresponsive to keyboard or mouse input; Unraid remains unaffected.

The Windows event log seems to have entries: "The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found." Tried the main solutions available on the web to little avail.

More info:

BIOS was dumped from the card using SpaceInvader's UserScrip method.
Latest NVIDIA drivers installed (for this card 473.47).

I feel I am close to getting this working! But the VM is not usable

Anyone else encountered this freezing/lockup issue? Note, I get great output and the driver appears to be working in Device Manager - just need to wait a few minutes and it will freeze.

Thanks in advance!

Xav.

@xavierda Did you get this fixed? My problem came back. All I get is a blank screen.

No, I ended up switching to cheesemarathon's app and managing remotely the BOINC instance using BOINC Manager from a Windows host. Works for me.

Nevermind. The latest update seems to have resolved the problem. I know get a BOINC Manager interface.

Yes, and no they are encrypted it depends on the resolver...

You can test it at https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ and run the extended test.

Hi ich777,

I saw that link in an earlier post - when I run it, I only see a single server return, ie. the OpenDNS ones. The log window from DoH-Client (with verbose=true set in the config file) shows requests going to Google, DNS.SB and OpenDNS, which I set.

So, if those requests are being tunnelled over HTTPS/TLS, then only seeing one server in the DNSLeakTest is to be expected?

Cheers,

Xav.

Exactly.

Nope, these are standard DNS servers and they are not secured by DoH but since i don't want to get Cloudflare or Google all of my DNS querys i rotate them and i let my server also use a few friends of mine and so no one could say wich traffic from wich device came, my server at home is more or less the DNS server for all of these devices.

Yeah i thought of that but that's a little bit too much latency in my oppinion and there is everywhere a weak point.

I'm sick that everybody tracks everything and now i got a gateway (my Unraid DNS server that asks goolgle, cloudflare and a few other dns servers unencrypted) where everything is a little bit messed up in terms of tracking because ~10 people are using it.

Hi there,

Just installed the DoH-Client container today...I am confused by the above - does this mean my outbound DNS queries as intercepted by the container are NOT encrypted, and are just distributed to whatever DNS resolver you have specified in the config file?

Currently test setup:

Windows Laptop > DNS pointing to <unraid IP>:53
DoH-Client set to use OpenDNS resolver
DoH-Client set to use Google bootstrap
Router set to use OpenDNS primary/secondary servers

Basically, how do I confirm DNS lookups to the wider internet are encrypted?

Cheers,

Xav.

Hi there,

Just added this to my server yesterday (contribute to COVID-19 processing etc). It's been running overnight, however notice a few things - are these normal issues, or something specific to my setup?

Pretty much any Rosetta Mini tasks fails with 'computational error'.
After running 100% last night, this morning it's only processing a few tasks - loading is about 12-14%. Not sure if this is typical of the general ebb and flow of work tasks? Would have thought there's a lot to get through. I have configured no restrictions on CPU/Memory use.

For #1 above, checking the task result via the website seems to reveal a zip operation failing for all:

ERROR: in::file::zip minirosetta_database.zip does not exist!
ERROR:: Exit from: src/apps/public/boinc/minirosetta.cc line: 195

[0x8056003]

BOINC:: Error reading and gzipping output datafile: default.out

Anyone else seeing those? Default options when setting up the app - any ideas?

Hi everyone,

After upgrading to 6.8.0, I too encountered the: "error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.64" on boot, which prevented the GUI/Web interface loading. I could SSH into my server though.

After reading through this post, I can confirm, deleting the NerdPack.plg and associated folder from /config/plugins, rebooting and reinstalling works. I only needed python3 to run a separate script - all working again now.

The Update OS assistant didn't pick this one up; not sure where to let whoever updates that know?

Cheers,

April 3, 2019

Hi there,

Okay, so came here due to the latest update killing my OpenVPN server (rolled back to linuxserver/openvpn-as:2.6.1-ls11 as per earlier posts), and got it working again.

However, a quick check of the syslog shows:

connect() to unix:/var/tmp/openvpn-as.sock failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client

Restarted docker, still persists...

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Xav.

Cool build, but I'm curious why you went with so many cores?

Basically to run multiple VMs, and for dedicating cores to using Davinci Resolve.

At least one of us had a smooth uprade though! I'm truly happy yours went through flawlessly!

Thanks - to be honest, I only had 4 SATA drives. I'm reading your experience with interest though as my new case has a lot more room for easy expansion and I will have to go to SATA or SAS cards to boost port density. That may make future upgrades of HW a bit more complex.

Did you eliminate the cables with the new SAS card as the issue? With the drive spitting out errors, was it failing before you started upgrading? Can you just use the same SATA cards to get everything up and running, then swap them over to the SAS ones?

Hope you're having a bit more luck!

Are you sure those temps are accurate? As I said on my original post, running Prime95 in my VM to stress cores to 100% increases the cpu temp by 20 degrees up to 67 celcius. The temp never goes above that regardless of how much I stress all the 2950x cores.

Seems about right to me? After the X264 encode using Handbrake, I then did a X265 encode against some 4K footage I had. The complete encode took about 10 minutes, and temps peaked about 72 - even though in the 'sensors' output, it says max of 70. I am not overclocking. I have a Fractal Design S36 cooler. First time using it; didn't change over the thermal paste...

Maybe the different chips for temp monitoring? I would have thought it would be consistent across MSI x399 boards though.

Xav.

November 26, 2018

So, for what it is worth - brilliant upgrade experience! Completely new hardware build - I just ensured I had the drives connected to the same SATA ports, booted off the USB key and everything came up exactly as before.

Upgraded to 6.6.5; no problems. Very smooth experience, and I'm relieved to access to all my data - intact! - once again. How did you go?

Cheers,

Xav.

i have put "it87" and i can read the speed of Fan1 (do have more fan inputs then it reads...)

Hmmmm, I just tried that - worked too. Same 'k10temp' entries in drop-down boxes. I then entered 'blah', and it worked - bug in Dynamix? Seems like an initial valid entry and it's happy...<shrug>

They work now (Unraid 6.6.5), if you have the k10temp module installed.

What do you think is wrong with the output of the sensors command? You're seeing a reading for Tdie and the value for Tctl is 27 degrees higher, as expected. Do you see them increase under load?

Basically, I wanted to see these values in the status bar (Dynamix plugin) and the output didn't indicate which was the MB Temp and which was CPU Temp....read on...

Dynamix system temp plugin detects the sensors as nct7802.

Okay, this is strange - when I went to the settings page in Dynamix temp, clicking 'Detect' didn't do anything, and I couldn't select anything from the drop down boxes. After reading the above, I went back to that page, pasted in 'nct7802' and now I can select options!

What was stranger is that initially it had the rather cryptic 'k10temp - tDie' as an option. After clicking save, it now shows 'k10temp - CPU Temp' and 'k10temp - MB Temp' respectively.

Running the 'sensors' command also shows something a bit more meaningful:

sensors
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
CPU Temp:     +34.5°C  (high = +70.0°C)
Tctl:         +61.5°C

k10temp-pci-00cb
Adapter: PCI adapter
MB Temp:      +32.5°C  (high = +70.0°C)
Tctl:         +59.5°C

So - on one MSI board, 'Detection' works, but on mine, I had to manually enter it. Seems about right too - I did a quick encode using Handbrake (taking system load across 16 cores to about 36%) and the temp jumped within expectations - about 52 ish degrees.

Seems like this is working for me now.

+1 to @mikeyosm - that nct7802 seemed to do the trick!

Cheers,

Xav.

Also just built an unRaid setup on TR (MSI SLI Plus X399, 2950X) and I can't get any meaningful temperature readings out.

sensors -u
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Tdie:
  temp1_input: 32.750
  temp1_max: 70.000
Tctl:
  temp2_input: 59.750

k10temp-pci-00cb
Adapter: PCI adapter
Tdie:
  temp1_input: 30.625
  temp1_max: 70.000
Tctl:
  temp2_input: 57.625

That's about it from the command line. Ideally, the Dynamix plugin will get updated. There's a few posts about the Nuovoton (???) IO chip...

Think my temps are fine, but would be good to be able to monitor them, especially when I start to load up the system...

For anyone else who has shifted from Intel to Ryzen, any tips or suggestions that you have for me? I'll be able to do test the new hardware during the week but it won't be until next weekend that I can do the full system swap. So I'm looking for anything type of issue that I could run into so that I know what to look for ahead of time.

I'm migrating from an old (i7-2700k) based system to a new TR2 2950X build also this week. I have very laughable 4TB of drives to shift, but preserving the data is my number one mission too. I'm also hoping for an easy-going hardware swap out.

Will let you know how it goes!

Cheers,

Alrighty,

Should have new ordered parts arriving tomorrow. After a bit of consideration, I am holding off on the GPU - instead throwing in an old (hopefully working!) Radeon 5870 I never really used just to get unRaid up and running again, and transfer my old array drives. If that goes well, I'll then progress the GPU option a new (Lots of info out there on Davinci Resolve; still processing...)

Only change from above components was to opt for an AIO Fractal S36 cooler. Might give a bit of room in case I upgrade the CPU to say a 2990WX or whatever later down the line.

Looking forward to putting this altogether - first new build in ages for me!

Cheers,

Xav.

As for the expense. To be honest man you can get a whole bunch of good hardware on ebay right now if your willing to buy second hand. Im seeing 1950x go for half price on ebay.

Yes, I did look at eBay too - for Australia, local deals don't match up to other markets, with most Ryzen stuff on offer pretty much pegged at retail prices. Yes, I can get one shipped in and probably save but I prefer to purchase closer to home; makes warranty claims easier and less time consuming too!

I've found Kingston HyperX modules to be a great default product to start with, if you have no others.

I've heard good things about that board over all. If you want an alternative motherboard, a few community members and myself are using ASUS PRIME X399-A. I've been very satisfied with my motherboard's performance.

Thanks for the recommendations - The Hyper X modules seem to be a bit cheaper.

Also, looks like 1080Ti cards are almost gone. Might put that on the back burner, until issues with the 2080 cards are sorted out. Besides, I need to purchase Davinci Resolve to be able to make use of it for encoding. Also, thinking the MSI X399 SLI Plus is a better option?

So, so far I have:

CPU - Ryzen TR 2950X
MB - MSI X399 SLI Plus
Cooler - Cryorig R1 (with TR4 adaptor) - sufficient for this CPU?
32GB RAM (~3200Mhz, brand TBD)
GPU - Something cheap and cheerful (2080 future purchase)
HDDs - Recycled from previous build
SSD - Recycled from previous build
PSU - Corsair HX650 (650W) - Recycled from previous build. Will upgrade later if I get more drives/beefy GPU - should be ample for now)
Case - Fractal Design Refine R6 - Not massive; good expansion options with room to grow.

Think that should about do it...

Nice build! Must have cost a bit, or built up over time? Curious too - what do you use the 2 VM/GPU combos for? 40TB of storage is something I'll probably get to soon - 4K video takes up a bit. My old array is a hodge-podge of old drives totalling....wait for it....4TB! Haha

Do you use any HBA cards for the array, or all connected via SATA?

My build is getting expensive! Tossing up MB/CPU combo now. The 1920X is only $649 AUD versus $1249 for the 1950x and $1415 for the 2950x. The MSI X399 SLI Plus MB is $389 versus $500ish for the Taichi - main difference being WiFi AC, which I can live without. Hmmmm, decisions, decisions...

November 10, 2018

Ah, okay then. On that basis I'll probably ditch getting a cheaper, second card straight away. If I encounter problems with VM access, and I need a second one they're cheap enough to add later. What's your TR setup?

I've seen several people mention needing a second card for unraid. Thats not been my experience. I have 2 cards, And 2 VMs utilizing 1 dedicated GPU a piece. Unraid runs headless just fine in my experience. And i can easily log into my unraid with my cellphone or another browser capable device when i gotta bring everything down for adjustments, config, etc.

Hmmm, okay - does your MB have an in-built GPU? The Taichi doesn't, so assume you need one to boot the system. Need a monitor to at least configure BIOS etc. In your case, I assume your "primary" card shows POST messages etc on boot? What happens when a VM "takes over"? Does it switch outputs? My old MB didn't have support for native hardware passthrough, so this is all new to me; sorry if it seems an obvious question...
