I think I answered the question with the issue switching back to VNC several times here

 

The same questions are being asked over and over. I would encourage people to do a little reading before posting. If the answer's there it's much quicker than waiting for a reply.

It will be quicker, but FAR more time consuming.
 

To be fair this is a 73 page thread with 25 posts per page.  Searching through 1875 posts for the information you need, especially when this forum does not have the best search abilities can be very difficult.  The OP should edit the first post with common questions\answers.  This is common practice on other software support forums.  And even better method would be that each docker container having its own FORUM, not just its own thread.  I'm not sure if this "Invision Community" software that the unraid support forums use is easily capable of this or not, but there certainly is other forum platforms that can easily do such a task.  Unraid is the type of platform that could benefit from such a setup.

I'm new to unraid and just feel over the past 3 weeks its a bit difficult to find support for specific problems when each major docker I setup has all the support condensed into a single multi thousand post long topic.  Maybe the Unraid team can look into a support forum overhaul?

Ok once again: here the solution: but as I told before: use the search function or click on my name, than you will see my posts...there is the solution... copied it for you here.... because me was helped as well here.. 


 

 

The problem is, that when you switch back from gpu to VNC add using the Macinabox helper script, the bus from the vnc is not

set correctly.

To fix it do the following:

After switching back from Gpu to VNC and running the helper script, go to your vm setting of your vm and Open the XML view (right corner there is a switch Form view).

scroll nearly to the end.

 

You have to change the XML in this part:

 

</graphics>
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> 

 

for me worked   

CHANGED to  bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0' 
    </video>
but you must not run the Helper script afterwards.

You expect other people to make a greater effort so that you can avoid doing a little work? That gives a bad impression of entitlement. You perhaps don't realise that pretty much everyone who posts here is a normal user, just like yourself, giving their time for free. The answers to questions are often found quite easily if you do a little looking. If you try to find an answer but have no success, then by all means ask but indicate that you've at least made some effort to help yourself.

To be fair, you don't have to. Many of the early pages are irrelevant now that the container has beeen rewritten. You just have to rewind a few pages - four or five at the most. The OP doesn't often comment here. He provides the tools and makes comprehensive videos - to expect more is not reasonable.

Agreed that it is unreasonable to expect OP to respond further in this thread.  As it is also not reasonable to expect people to read through dozens of pages hoping to find somebody with the same issue as them.  2 solutions which cant be expected but would be preferred. 

Basically just don't get mad when people end up creating a new topic right away or asking the same questions over and over again.  You have to change the system if you want things to change, not try and change user behavior, because that's always a losing battle.

But back to the original question myself and 3 other people had on the page before... How does one remote into their VM once they switch over to hardware graphics passthrough and no longer have VNC?

It's expected that once you passed through a video card, you will be viewing that output on a monitor connected to that card, and using the VM exactly the same as any other computer. If you wish to remote in, you will need to implement remote control software hosted in the VM, exactly like you would if you want to remote in to any other computer.

 

If this thread were about a windows based system, RDP, teamviewer, nomachine, gotomypc, or any of that type of program would be my recommendation. Since it's mac, I'm not familiar with the best remote control options, but I'm sure they've been mentioned in the course of this thread.

 

tldr: Any remote access software that works with mac.

If someone could take a look at my XML it would be super helpful. I can not get my VM to sign into Apple Services. I have changed the network adaptor and tried a couple different configs.

They certainly have, and also in SpaceinvaderOne's videos, where he recommends Splashtop. FWIW, I use Apple Screen Sharing, which is included with macOS itself (roughly analogous to Windows RDP, though Apple makes no distinction between "Home" and "Professional" users) and requires no third party software, though it does need another Mac.

The disadvantage of Apple Screen Sharing is that it doesn't support audio.

 

Wanted to give Splashtop a try, but seems there is no free version available, but just a trial followed by a subscription?

Agreed. I can live with that restriction, though. I haven't used nomachine so I don't know its capabilities but it's available in both free and paid versions so might be worth a look.

Thanks, but how do I boot into the mac automatically when the VM starts?  For instance if I wanted to use teamviewer to remote in, I could set that up but it need to load the OS for that to be available.  Starting the VM just goes to the volume select screen and you need to hit enter first before the OS loads.  See screenshot:

Reading this thread over the last few days, I've learned something important. To use GPU passthrough on a VM you need to have a monitor physically connected to the server to leverage it. Sorry if this was something I should have known. I guess the black screen I was reporting when trying to connect the VM from another computer was to be expected (laughs at self).

 

So maybe I'll ask my question a different way... IF I have a GPU passed through to my Unraid VM, and I have it set to autologon and launch a server (No Machine, for e.g.), will I be able to achieve higher resolution inside the VM client? Right now its 1920x1080, which is passable, but I was hoping to get closer to bare metal resolution. Is what I'm trying to achieve possible? Thanks!

Instead of an actual monitor, you can also attach a hdmi plug. I’m not certain, but believes this will get you 4k over vnc with the right dongle.

 

I do have a separate issue. I can no longer get audio to work. I’ve tried splashtop as suggested in this group. In fact, it shows splashtop as audio output, but i cannot hear any audio. Any idea?

You can configure OpenCore to boot from a default volume. I don't recall quite how off the top of my head but it's here in this thread and possibly also in the comments to the YouTube video.

It does not even create a VM for me.

 

I get this from the helper script after I got the notification it was ready: IPSNM31.png

 

It does not create any VM for me.

 

EDIT: Removing the entire macinabox appdata, app, and the /mnt/user/system/custom_ovmf folder fixed this for me.

******************************************************************************
Have you tried the x11vnc '-ncache' VNC client-side pixel caching feature yet?

The scheme stores pixel data offscreen on the VNC viewer side for faster
retrieval. It should work with any VNC viewer. Try it by running:

x11vnc -ncache 10 ...

One can also add -ncache_cr for smooth 'copyrect' window motion.

The error message suggests that the server was overloaded and couldn't respond to your request, possibly due to the macOS 11.2.1 update that was released recently. Try again later.

I have a problem with my GPU Passthrough, im able to start the boot by selecting the hard drive and the apple logo shows up.

But when the loading bar finished, i got a black screen and no signal. So i think, my passthrough works but maybe something don't work with my macos (fresh install)

 

My system specs:

M/B: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. B550M AORUS PRO-P

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core @ 3800 MHz

GPU0: NVIDIA RTX 3070 (for windows)

GPU1: NVIDIA Quadro K600 (for mac)

It seems to crash

Make sure lilu+whatevergreen are injected.

Make sure you really have a K600, try to not inject the vbios (from where did you get it?).

Download and build opencore debug and lilu and whatevergreen debug, set the config.plist to log to file and provide logs for further troubleshooting.

 

If you're not able to build yourself here there's a good help with debug versions available commit by commit for opencore/lilu/whatevergreen:

https://dortania.github.io/builds/?product=OpenCorePkg&viewall=true

 

Make sure to update your config.plist if you will use a version newer than that you are using.
