  1. I just installed this docker a couple days ago and am learning a bit as I go here. Long time zoneminder user, but noob with dockers. By following the first post and related links, to my surprise, I already have Object detection functioning and am working on face detection, but so far no luck. CUDA stuff will be next and I have set all the Docker ENV variables to yes to install so YOLO, CUDA, face detection software etc, in theory, should all be there. To help in my troubleshooting I just want to ask if anyone can confirm they have face detection actually working on the latest docker version. Does anyone have it working right now? That will help me narrow down to just config or if possibly some file or libraries etc could be missing or something in the actual docker container too. So far I see docker logs of the object detection running on an event but when I would expect the face detection to kick in there's just nothing/blank in the logs. Not even an error to go off so far. -EDIT- Did a force update/rebuild of the docker and face detection is now functional.
  2. Yeah, $100 for USB is nuts. Think of it this way, it's actually 4 USB cards. which you can basically turn into 4 different computers via VM's ? I just looked and I have 2 non powered USB hubs that are working fine which didn't work on the other cards I had. They are out of the box with no mods. The other powered USB hub does appear to have a wire cut. Suspect I cut +5v as it's powered and I was having back feed issues in the past. My system is working so well I hate to play around and see if it would tolerate the back feeds or other hubs better or not though. Another thing to note is that my bios has an ACS on/of option which I have enabled. That may have helped in splitting the addresses out to individual IOMMU's. Point being, there's so much variability between systems I'd just say make sure you order from somewhere you can return the board in case you don't have the same luck I have. Amazon was great when I had to return the Startech.
  3. Posting back more results. I just couldn't get the RocketU card to be stable. Kept running into some type of problem where one of the ports would stop working after a while. I suspect there's a power overload protection of some sort going on that I was bumping up against. Card works fine with single devices per USB port , but once a hub (powered or un-powered) is in play it is problematic for me. Now one of the Four ports now won't work at all. I decided to try the Sonnet Allegro Pro USB 3.0 PCIe card (USB3-PRO-4PM-E). It has been flawless so far (2 weeks) with hubs plugged into 3 of the 4 ports and no issues with many USB devices passed to various VM's. IOMMU split out without any extra settings or overrides on my EP2C606-4L server.
  4. Do you have any powered USB hubs or powered USB devices plugged in when trying to boot? I found that many hubs back-feed 5V into your USB system which can cause the PC to not boot. I had to cut the 5v line back into the USB port on my hub because of this and just rely on an external power brick for the devices on that hub. My server wouldn't boot and/or would cause instability issues otherwise.... something to check anyhow. These cards seem very picky.
  5. Hi Josetann, Did you ever figure this one out beyond your work-around? I just added a similar multi chip USB card (High Point RocketU 1144C ) to my system and am fighting with the same issue. I have an IR receiver as well as a couple other USB devices (webcams/vid capture devices) that just hang the VM at the BIOS/boot screen. Did you try both OVMF and SeaBIOS by chance? I haven't done a ton of troubleshooting myself yet so thought I'd see if anyone has solved this before pulling any hair out... First step is trying to find an error message or something, but like your logs mine don't state anything obvious to look at that I can see.
  6. Has anyone progressed the topic of multi-controller USB cards further? I had read on another thread about the High Point RocketU 1144C working so ordered one and have had some success with it but am chasing what I think are some power related issues due to long USB runs (using active USB extenders). I have the 1144C working and seems to survive VM re-boots/power downs when individual ports are passed to the VM's. Unfortunately I didn't see this thread until after I ordered the Startech card. I was thinking since it has a perhaps more robust power source via molex connector it may work better in my case. I've run into the same as the others with it looking like it should work but the errors in Windows and non-functionality are present. For fun I tried in another PC and works fine in bare metal Windows. As well I tired a very recent Openelec via a USB boot and the Startech card appears to work fine (sees a USB disk attached into Openelec bare metal). So it looks like the Startech card can work in Linux too... Unraid just doesn't see it nor can it be passed to a VM. I'm just not sure what to check or change in Unraid and would be open to any suggestions to try before I send the card back. For the High point card. On my server I could not get it to split into individual IOMMU's until I added the following to kernel boot parameters: vfio-pci.ids=12d8:2608,1912:0015,8086:1d26,8086:1d2d vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 pcie_acs_override=id:12d8:2608 irqpoll 12d8:2608 is the High point card. Basically I have both onboard USB ports and the 1144C card set so UnRaid won't use/see the USB ports and it's the pcie_acs override part that finally broke the IOMMU into individual groups to allow VM passthrough: Looks like this after that is added: IOMMU group 22 [10b5:8609] 04:00.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc.

Just posting my results so that others may benefit and would also love to get the StarTech going, but am at a loss so giving up unless someone has some suggestions. Happy to post more info if needed. I'm running an ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16 & Dual Xeon E5 2680 setup.
  7. I found this thread when looking to purchase an RX480 to use in passthrough and it made me a bit nervous on getting an AMD GPU. I took a chance due to a good sale price and wanted to share my experience in case anyone else finds this in a search. I bought an 8GB Gigabyte G1 Gaming RX480 card. I had an existing VM running Seabios and Q35-2.5 with an older Nvidia card which this replaced. When I first booted and tried to install the drivers, the screen would flash a couple times and then stay blank. I had to Force stop and reboot but still would not install. I then switched to i440fx-2.5. Drivers installed just fine and I'm very impressed with the overall performance of this card. No reset issues and boots up fine even after a force stop. I assume it will work under OVMF too but have not tried yet. Just FYI...
