Hi, sometimes when I do gpu passthrough and start the VM, it will cause the VM tab page to hang.

 

1. I am unable to force stop VM since page is empty

2. If I go to the terminal and execute any `virsh` command, the command will hang as well

 

Is there any way we can force kill the VM? Maybe `kill -9 <VM process>`?

 

It's kinda troublesome to restart the PC everytime because of this ... Thanks

I noticed that the reason VM page hang is because my plex docker setting includes the gpu even though GPU is not in used that time. The moment I shut plex down, my VM page works => this is the root cause

 

As for the force stop VM via terminal, I still don't have a solution that doesn't include system reboot / shutdown.

 

Maybe as of 6.9.2, it's not possible. But I do hope this can be a future feature. Afterall slackware OS is still Linux-based, terminal should be able to do everything, considering that the default terminal user is already root user.

One solution is to simply stop the conflicting container. It requires you to know that the reason it is hanging is a GPU access conflict and to know which container but it works for me.

 

You can do that with:

docker container stop <name-of-container>
