Linux Mint vm problem - Running in software rendering mode, and GPU pass-through question

Recommended Posts

I am a total linux newb - no experience with linux at all. Also, it's been about only 3 weeks, since I started using unRAID. I am in the process of migrating files form my old windows server to unRAID atm.

 

  • 1) I have installed a Linux Mint vm on unraid, and I always get this warning, after booting up the vm: Running in software rendering mode. I guess it's got a problem with GPU drivers? So how do I install the virtual gpu drivers? or is there something else needs to be done? As it is now - the vm is practically unusable. I have attached the screenshots of the warning and my Linux Mint vm settings in unRAID.

 

I would really like to be able to pass-through the gpu to a LibreELEC vm and use it as a Kodi player. Down below are my IOMMU details. It seems my GPU is not alone in the group. 

These are my PCI Devices and IOMMU Groups:

IOMMU group 0
	[8086:0158] 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/Ivy Bridge DRAM Controller (rev 09)
IOMMU group 1
	[8086:0151] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port (rev 09)

IOMMU group 5
	[8086:1c10] 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5)
IOMMU group 6
	[8086:1c18] 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev b5)
IOMMU group 7
	[8086:1c26] 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05)
IOMMU group 8
	[8086:244e] 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev a5)

	[8086:1c02] 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (rev 05)
	[8086:1c22] 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05)
IOMMU group 10
	[1b21:1042] 03:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1042 SuperSpeed USB Host Controller
IOMMU group 11
	[8086:10d3] 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection

 

  • 2) Would changing a PCIe slot on the mobo, that the GPU is plugged in have any effect on IOMMU grouping? I think that's a USB3 card in group 10, and it's alone. Would putting a gpu in that PCIe solve my issue?
  • 3) If not, should I use the Enable PCIe ACS Override option? I am worried that it says right there in the info: Warning: Use of this setting could cause possible data corruption with certain hardware configurations.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
