jonp Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 So I finished the video today, but when I rendered it, it has this Charlie Brown Peanuts type animation effect that is driving me nuts. So I debated on not sharing it at all, but decided it'd be better to share it here now and fix it later than to not share it at all, because it does achieve the job of walking you through the steps to create the VM and optimizing it afterward. So apologies in advance for the weirdness with the quality. It's because I had my desktop resolution in 4k when I was using ShadowPlay to record the screen, so it tried to auto downsample the footage and made it look like that. I'll have to reshoot the whole thing while in the same resolution I'm capturing at (1080p) and it will then look fine. Hope you enjoy the walkthrough! Link to comment

pcgirl Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I would like to see the video but there is nothing showing. Can you direct me to a link? Link to comment
rajsri Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I would like to see the video but there is nothing showing. Can you direct me to a link? I can see the video fine; What issue are you having? Link to comment
pcgirl Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Very weird! I just see a blank space. Using Firefox. I did manage to find it on youtube though. I have watched both the "Installing a Windows 10 Virtual Desktop on Unraid 6" and "Pre built Win10VM and Convert VMWare to KVM on unRAID". My question is which one is the better one to install?

Installing a Windows 10 Virtual Desktop is better to follow IMHO. The Pre built Win10VM video is to show you how to test out running Windows as a VM before committing to a license or even having to sit through a download. It's mainly for developers or users that just want to test out Windows as a VM before committing their license key to it. Link to comment
pcgirl Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I am fairly new to unraid and totally new to VM's. I want to setup the bridge and I have to stop the raid first. My question is do I need to Stop the dockers before I stop the raid? Link to comment

My question is do I need to Stop the dockers before I stop the raid? The docker engine will be automatically stopped when you stop the array. Link to comment
pcgirl Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks! I am learning so much and having so much fun with all this stuff1 Link to comment
pcgirl Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 One more question....in the setting up the unraid server for VM's you said to download the Stable virtioi drivers and then in the Installing a Windows 10 VM you said to download the Latest virtioi win drivers. Which one should I use? Link to comment

pcgirl Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Good, I followed the video. Worked perfectly! Love these videos! I have been wanting to learn more about VM's and this was so helpful! Link to comment
pcgirl Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Sorry, one more question....If I want to start over and do this again, how do I delete the VM? Link to comment
superloopy1 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Same here ... nothing showing, also using FF. Link to comment
jonp Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 With the VM stopped, click the icon and click Remove VM (or the option to Remove VM + Disks if you want to remove the virtual disks with the VM). Link to comment
ALNiKO Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Sorry for maybe a dumb question, but how are you guys connecting to VMs, especially those that are supposed to be for gaming purposes? VNC, RDP, long HDMI cables? I approached an an article about gaming on Unraid and couldn't find how it was connected and tested. Link to comment
saarg Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 For gaming you will need to pass through a graphics card and connect a monitor. Solitaire might work on vnc/RDP though Link to comment

Yep, that's where I got here from. I should have asked a question on how to connect multiple displays to a single unraid. I'm thinking of installing elec and connecting 2 TVs to unraid by using long HDMI cables. Was wondering if I could use videocard's outputs for separate VMs or if I have to use a dedicated videocard for each VM. Link to comment

Your hardware needs to support it, but if so, you can output graphics from each GPU to its own display. It is one GPU per VM you wish to do this with. Here's a link to watch how Linus from LinusTechTips set up two gaming rigs off one CPU using unRAID: http://lime-technology.com/unraid-featured-on-linustechtips/ He shows the detailed steps of what he did.
