gtx 1660ti

Hi there

 

to ensure you get help, you will need to provide more information, specifically;

 

1. What have you done so far? What guides have you followed?

2. What OS have you installed in the VM?

3. Does the vm work ok with vnc display?

4. Share your vm xml

5. Share any details from the vm log file

6. What other devices are in your system. Is the gpu the only one?

 

to get started with troubleshooting, I would suggest the following;

1. Remove the gpu passthrough

2. Boot the vm using vnc

3. Open netplwiz (if Windows) and allow users logon without entering password. This will ensure your system boots to desktop and does not get stuck at a logon prompt you cannot see.

4 Install splashtop streamer in the vm.

5 install splashtop viewer on some other system

6. Reboot the vm, still in vnc mode, and ensure you can access it using splashtop

7. Shutdown the vm, and add back the gpu passthrough, ensuring you follow all advice about bios dumps, not splitting the video and audio devices etc.

 

now when your system boots, even if your display is dark, you should be able to access the vm via splashtop and see what’s going on. I suspect you’ll see an error -43 when you view the gpu in device manager.

 

if the above does not work, you may need to be lame familiar with virt-manager docker which will allow finer control over vm configuration and troubleshooting.

When editing you VM, look at the top right of the page. See a toggle widget labeled 'form view'? Switch this to XML vide. This shows the VM configuration data in a code (XML) view.  Please paste that here.

 

Please also paste the 'PCI Devices and IOMMU Groups' section when you navigate to  Tools->System Devices 

 

The fact that Splashtop is not enabled when you boot with GPU only indicates that your system is not booting, but you cannot see why.

 

My advice here would be to install the VIRT-Manager docker, add a QXL adapter  alongside your GPU, edit the VM XML to ensure this new adapter is the first to init and observe the boot process in VIRT-Manager.

 

However, the fact that you are not aware of what your VM XML is means that's quite a hill to climb! Le's start with the XML and PCI IOMMU device listing first and take it from there.

Hey @Masterbob221

 

Good to chat with you just now. For others, to go over what we discussed;

 

1. You set up a new VM using SeaBios

2. You made edits to XML to ensure that GPU Video & Audio devices are not split across two virtual slots (don't forget the 'multifunction' tag)

 

If when your VM comes up, you still don't have picture, you can try following SpaceInvaderOnes more recent videos on obtaining, editing and passing through a ROM Bios file for your specific card.

 

If you do get a picture, but have issues installing nVidia drivers or see a -43 error in Device Manager, you can add the configuration to your XML that I outline here.

 

Good luck!
