March 31, 20242 yr Hi, Simple question. With my i5-12400 if I install this I wont need my GPU anymore ever as long I have the CPU or higher for VM use?

Hello, could you please provide steps for making Parsec working like your screenshot? I tried many times, but not working. Are you connecting your physical monitor with an usb to hdmi adapter to get Parsec working? Thanks in advance.

I tried many times, but not working. when i remember correctly, nothing special besides installing the one really working intel gpu driver ... 6 hours ago, likeUnraid said: Are you connecting your physical monitor with an usb to hdmi adapter to get Parsec working? nope ... i tested with a Monitor setup in the beginning when nothing was working properly, but in the end its been the driver ... so it works without any attached monitors, meanwhile i have a kvm attached which also emulates a moni on the hdmi port, but worked before too ... so thats not the showrunner.

For what it's worth I think I solved the issue. I was running dual graphics. The iGPU through the plugin and VNC. I removed the VNC and only RDP into the VM and the Unraid Server has been stable now. The VM has been running 24/7 and the Unraid Server has been online with no crash for almost 5 days now where as when I was running the iGPU plugin and VNC it was crashing about once every 24 hours or so.

You can use the iGPUs resources for VMs while unraid is also still able to use them, yes. Just connect via a service like sunshine/moonlight, parsec, rdp or vnc. If you need a physical monitor use an usb to hdmi dongle. But keep in mind, this plugin relies on a repo which seems to be no longer maintained. So don't just sell your gpu atm 😄 Once there is more information about the future of this plugin, it will be posted here.

April 20, 20242 yr I'm currently attempting to set up a VM running Debian 12 (kernel 6.1.0) while using SR-IOV to give the VM possibilities for hardware acceleration. However, "intel_gpu_top" keeps spitting out the following error: "No device filter specified and no discrete/integrated i915 devices found" When checking the output of "lspci", I clearly see the integrated UHD Graphics 730 there. So at least it's picked up in the VM. The only thing I've done is replaced the va-driver with the non-free version inside the VM, nothing else. But I've hit kind of a dead end on the troubleshooting, no clue what I should do next to possibly move forward. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

No filter class matching [sriov] Requested device sriov not found! To add some detail: I'm adding the VF as a second graphics card, while leaving VNC as the primary one. This is done so I can still access the machine. I'm certain the plugin and the virtualization work with my 12th gen. As in Windows, with the same type of setup (VNC as 1st + VF as 2nd), it works no problem.

The repo for the SR-IOV DKMS module itself (which is the core functionality of this plugin) is still maintained; it was last updated 3 days ago: https://github.com/strongtz/i915-sriov-dkms Last I heard, Intel were working on mainlining SR-IOV support, but they had to delay it due to higher priority kernel work. I haven't seen any recent updates though, so I'm not sure if they still plan to do it. Here's the thread: https://github.com/intel/linux-intel-lts/issues/33 Edited April 22, 20242 yr by Daniel15

Here's the thread: https://github.com/intel/linux-intel-lts/issues/33 Sure but that will take some significant amount of time (your linked issue was created 2022), you can read also more about that into my linked issue and as you've already wrote, they delayed it. I only took a quick look what changes would be needed to make it compatible and from what I saw that involves a significant amount of changes. Maybe someone will create a PR and make it compatible with Kernel 6.7+ to make it usable on newer version Unraid versions (6.13.x) which will definitely ship with a up to date Kernel. So to speak I don't think that SR-IOV will be supported on Unraid 6.13.x, at least not as long as someone creates a PR which fixes the driver module. Hope that explains the statement from @giganode a bit better.

I just wanted to confirm that a USB DisplayLink HDMI dongle works with this fork under unRaid 6.12.9. I use this dongle as recommended in the pre fork thread. You'll have a vGPU accelerated HDMI port from your VM. It's sorcery. Not entirely related to vGPU and sriov is that "Woieyeks-4K" identified "display." It is really an inline HDMI EDID emulator that you may not need. Edited May 2, 20242 yr by dimes007 Clarification

So you are saying that if you connect that dongle to the USB C port through to HDMI you will get signal to the TV?

That's what these dongle do 😉 so yes, I can confirm its working, tested here a while ago ... it's not bare metal, but as office usage it's quite fine.
May 13, 20242 yr Hey newbie here, I have been trying to get this plugin to work with my i5 12600k, in the VM its detected fine, but I can't connect via Parsec or Moonlight.

If you see the GPU in task manager -> performance tab then SR-IOV is working fine and you may need to ask for support in the Parsec or Moonlight communities.

If it needs a real monitor to be connected, it's possible it'd need a dummy HDMI plug. I'm not sure. You could try searching for "headless Moonlight" or "headless Parsec" and see if you find anything. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with this software. Maybe someone else here knows.

I found a fix for this, it seems like the intel driver version was the issue https://github.com/strongtz/i915-sriov-dkms/issues/141 also it works now without the virtual display but i prefer to use the better resolution Edited May 15, 20242 yr by JannikGHG
