I would like to be able to use UnRAID GUI at the same time as this. My motherboard Supermicro has built-in VGA. As the moment, the vga driver doesn't load. Is there any way?

Wow what a great blog post and explanation! Thanks a lot. Now I be may be able to get full functionality out of MacOS with compatible WiFI.

Has anyone ever tried using anything like this https://www.walmart.com/ip/PCI-E-Express-3-Port-1X-Multiplier-Riser-Card-Mining-Cable/269154426 PCI-E Express 3 Port 1X Multiplier Riser Card? My computer only has one port free (besides the GPU port) for MacOS and I would like to put in a fenvi T919 for macOS PC PCI Wifi Card Continuity Handoff BCM94360CD Native Airport WiFi BT 4.0 1750Mbps 5GHz/2.4GHz MIMO 802.11ac Beamforming+ WLAN PCI-E Card in addition to the USB controller card I'm already passing through. How do these multiplier cards pull off sharing just one PCIe lane? All of the expansion cards in the entire machine I want to use are just are 1x My system should be in the signature (Dell Optiplex 9020)

Ok, I removed the balloon device from the VM definition XML and ran the my memory eater script again. This time when memory was filled up the system killed the memory eater process just like it should.

Does the virtual memory balloon device work in a MacOS VM? I notice when memory in the VM fills up there is no error thrown, but the entire Unraid server crashes. This happened once when I wrote a program that allocated memory without limit and once when I tried to open a 2.7G file in Wireshark.

It happens right at the point the control is handed over to the OS. It is not a kernel panic I checked for that many times. Hey, you helped me find the solution! I turned off the watchdog timer in config.plist and now it just booted 9/10 times without hiccup. The one time it didn't boot was a hang with all cores on 100% I guess my VM was just booting too slow and timing out. Thanks for pointing me to the debug options.

Ok, I've go logs. Hmm. The logs seem to be identical(except for timestamps, etc) on successful and unsuccessful boots. Does Opencore stop logging after control is handed over to the kernel? Here is the log. The last line is something to do with SMC opencore-2020-10-13-232826.txt

Thanks, that brought it right up. And with stock OVMF CODE and VARS. Seems pretty snappy. Audio and iServices still working, that's great. Boot-looped a few times before it came up, though. Is that normal?

With your EFI, the chooser comes up but choosing my boot I get the error: OCSB: No suitable signature. Security violation .. Recovery boots fine, though.

Wow @ghost82 thanks for posting those files. But for me it just hangs with no error in the logs. EDIT: Actually maybe I read the release notes wrong this issue https://github.com/Leoyzen/KVM-Opencore/issues/8 says the stock one doesn't work.

I just successfully converted my Macinabox Catalina daily driver VM from Clover to Opencore, because my VM was crashing at the very beginning of boot most of the time. I used https://github.com/Leoyzen/KVM-Opencore. Thank you @Leoyzen! I just replaced the EFI folder with the one on this repository. Then I used the guide https://khronokernel-2.gitbook.io/opencore-vanilla-desktop-guide/post-install/post-install/iservices to get iMessage working. The last snag I ran into was after following that guide to the "T" my VM would no longer connect to the network. That was fixed temporarily by using vmxnet3 for a virtual Ethernet NIC. The boot problem is exactly the same under Opencore. I've read that under Opencore you no longer have to use a patched OVMF, but I'm not sure how to convert that. Tried just changing <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/mnt/user/domains/MacinaboxCatalina/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader> <nvram>/mnt/user/domains/MacinaboxCatalina/ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd</nvram> to <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/mnt/user/domains/MacinaboxCatalina/ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd</nvram> does not help. But overall the VM is 99% functional.

I think it as to be Renesas chipset. Here is the one I use: Inateck PCI-E to USB 3.0 (5 Ports) PCI Express Card and 15-Pin Power Connector, Red (KT5001)

I had to pass though a USB controller card the USB device plugged into that to get it to work well.

Press ESC or F2 while the VM is booting up to enter the UEFI configuration screen and there change the resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 710

I am affected. And when it happens it brings down all of the services for my organization. Lately it has only been triggered by starting a certain docker container.cs-diagnostics-20200614-1326.zip

@steveBBB, domain is tainted error can be safely ignored. I just means you're running a configuration or some component that is not officially supported by the maintainers of either KVM or QEMU. That means that if you ever need to contact them to report a bug or get help, you would need to adjust your configuration such that it is purely running their supported code and not "tainted" or they will not try to fix it, because they don't support that use case or component added.

Solved by changing the line export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority to export XAUTHORITY=/var/run/slim.auth The login screen is not the right resolution, so I can't see the username/password box, but hey it's pretty good. The session is in the right resolution.

It seems to be caused by this: https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/issues/128. A file is removed and then moved, presumably by Mover. I don't know what the fix is, though.

Last time I updated like that I just had to keep trying all of them and eventually it registered as updated in MacOS.

UPDATE: Turned on MSI interrupts in Windows and removed irqpoll=1 from unRAID boot line. Still get "IRQ16 Nobody cared...IRQ Disabled" When I plug in the monitor by DisplayPort But performance does not tank.

SOLVED by putting irqpoll=1 in the linux start line.

Added dmesg error above.

Hi Guys, System info in my signature. I'm having the strange problem that performance in my Windows VM goes to utter stuttering when and only when I turn my monitor off (and then back on). Performance is great until I do that. This VM is only for productivity, no gaming. Restarting the VM does not help. The only way to bring performance back to normal it to RESTART THE WHOLE "SERVER" My MacOS VM works great always on the same GPU's passed through. Is this some kind of graphics reset problem? Have tried with nvidia driver and windows driver. Have tried with Q35 and i440fx machine types. Also, There are dmesg errors: Apr 4 17:53:08 Tower kernel: irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Apr 4 17:53:08 Tower kernel: CPU: 2 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/2 Not tainted 4.19.107-Unraid #1 Apr 4 17:53:08 Tower kernel: Hardware name: Dell Inc.

Hi all, I know this is kind of a niche thing and doesn't qualify for a feature request. I'm trying to get unRIAD to start the X server with a specific resolution or set the res. by script after start. I have been digging into the startup scripts for X and slim the windows manager unRIAD uses. Here is my go file: #set display reslolution for a decent update speed cp /boot/config/X/.Xauthority /root/ export DISPLAY=:0.0 export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority xhost + xrandr -display :0.0 -s 5 I also wrote a script to change the resolution on array start: #!/bin/bash telnet localhost touch ~/.Xauthority export DISPLAY=:0.0 export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority xhost + echo "xrandr -display :0.0 -s 5" | at NOW + 2 min xauth info xhost +si:localuser:root xauth info xrandr -display :0.0 -s 5 sleep 10 xrandr -display :0.0 -q This results in a "protocol error". I think it is because there is no entry in .Xauthority for localhost and I don't know how to generate one automatically. if I run xhost + from remote over ssh, the entry is added and everything is good. But localhost doesn't have the authority to run xhost + by itself.I know there are unnecessary bits in the script, but I just threw them in for testing. I'm assuming there are a couple of different ways to go about this.
