dfuhrmann Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hello all! First of all, I'm new here, so please bear with me if I'm missing some required info. Searching the net and the forum has not brought any light into my issue - that being, not being able to install nvidia drivers in my win10 virtual machine. Everytime I try, I get something like "Drivers can't be installed, not compatible with this windows version" (not exact wording) from the nvidia driver installer. Is there something essential I'm missing out? My hardware is a Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 mainboard, running a AMD FX4350 CPU and 16 Gigs of RAM. Primary GPU is some AMD R7950, secondary (for passthrough) is an nVidia GTX 1080. Many thanks for any help! here goes the xml: <domain type='kvm' id='5'> <name>Windows 10 test 2</name> <uuid>590afeab-e9a0-1f81-03e5-1cb72d076fa5</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="Windows 10" icon="windows.png" os="windows10"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>10485760</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='1'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='3'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.11'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'> <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/isos/Win10_German_x64.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hda' bus='sata'/> <readonly/> <boot order='2'/> <alias name='sata0-0-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/isos/virtio-win-0.1.141.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdb' bus='sata'/> <readonly/> <alias name='sata0-0-1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/Windows 10 test 2/vdisk1.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='sata'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='sata0-0-2'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='2'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='qemu-xhci' ports='15'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'> <alias name='pci.0'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <alias name='sata0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:94:8c:71'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/4'/> <target type='isa-serial' port='0'> <model name='isa-serial'/> </target> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/4'> <source path='/dev/pts/4'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-5-Windows 10 test 2/org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='disconnected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input0'/> </input> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input1'/> </input> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes' xvga='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='no'> <source> <vendor id='0x046d'/> <product id='0xc52b'/> <address bus='12' device='6'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev2'/> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='no'> <source> <vendor id='0x04d9'/> <product id='0x1603'/> <address bus='4' device='2'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev3'/> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='2'/> </hostdev> <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'> <label>+0:+100</label> <imagelabel>+0:+100</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain> Quote Link to comment
DZMM Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'm not an expert here, but my VMs all have: <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-3.0'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/e45c15bc-e70d-e2dc-51e4-70d2710f244b_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> I checked by creating a new VM and this is part of the core template, so I'm not sure where you got your xml from. Give it a whirl Quote Link to comment
dfuhrmann Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) thanks for the reply! I created the vm, installed win10 to get it running, then went to the "edit VM" page, flicked the switch in the top right corner to view it as xml, and copied that Edited October 11, 2018 by dfuhrmann Quote Link to comment

Give it a whirl That is for an ovmf vm. He created a seabios vm, so that bit will not help. If he already installed windows, you can't switch between the two. Quote Link to comment
dfuhrmann Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 I have created a vm with OVMF bios earlier, but it didn't work either - same error. Quote Link to comment

Please check if you downloaded the right one. Quote Link to comment
dfuhrmann Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 hey, thanks for the reply. I checked, I'm sure to have downloaded the win10 drivers. Quote Link to comment

dfuhrmann Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hey guys, sorry to bother, but do you have any ideas on this? and, as dumb as it may sound - I have not yet activated windows, may that be the cause? Quote Link to comment
dfuhrmann Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hey guys, I've solved it - and the solution is even dumber than it not being activated: Outdated Windows version. seriously, after installation I forced the updates to install, but apparently I needed to do it again to get all the updates.
