Do you have any AdBlocking software in your local network running?

 

I do not

You already have installed driver version 520.56.06 from what I see from your Diagnostics.

 

What happens when you try to set it to a static version instiead of latest?

Can you open up a terminal from Unraid, issue the following command and send me the output:

cat /tmp/nvidia_*

 

From your syslog I see nothing obvious which is preventing the plugin from how it should work, something seems to be wrong anyways on your system, I'm really curious what is wrong there.

 

Have you yet tried to reboot and see if it's the same after a reboot?

Aren't shares available on boot or rather when plugins are installed?

No, the shares are only available after you start the Array and plugins are installed much earlier in that process.

If you need some help send me a PM and as said, I'm glad to help.

But wouldn't the same scenario happen right now if someone upgraded from an UnRAID version that has the OpenSource driver support to a newer version that doesn't have an OpenSource driver package like the latest version?

The Open Source GPU module is not available because it has an issue where NVENC is not working with that module -> see this GitHub issue: Click

I will start compiling packages for it when this bug is fixed because otherwise it would make no sense to publish such a package yet.

Which is why the only way for now would be that the users themselves would need to compile their driver packages for UnRAID.

Anyways, I would not recommend the package directly on Unraid because Unraid isn't a common purpose server, it should be built in a VM or even better in a Docker container like I do it.

When I got more time on my hands I'll definitely give it a try. Though I have to say the developer documentation for implementing UnRAID plugins is quite terrible, being scattered over multiple forum threads with lots of outdated info is quite tiresome.

If you need something just send over a PM and I'm glad to help.

I did try that a few times also. No difference. Odd that it's showing I have the latest installed, but not on the UI.

Can you also give me the output from:

/boot/config/plugins/nvidia-driver/settings.cfg

 

I think the settings file is messed up but I'm not too sure, I really can't tell what's going on there the output from the other files are also fine and displaying the right version numbers.

Yeah, there are pretty much all entries missing.

Do you maybe have edited it manually at some point in the past?

If so, all values must be in there like mentioned below.

 

Do you know how to edit this file in the terminal? In your case it should look like this:

first_installation=false
driver_version=520.56.06
disable_xconfig=true
update_check=false

(I assume that you are booting into GUI mode with the Display attached to the Nvidia card, if not change the line disable_xconfig to: disable_xconfig=false)

I'm not sure what to do. The server reset and plex is dead. The log reads that nvidia 470 is required and that the GPU will be ignored. I checked the plugin and 470 isn't listed, the lowest version listed is 495.29.05.

 

How do I get 470!??!????!!

I have never touched that file. Maybe it was just a failed/interrupted update in the past? I have edited it with those 4 lines and it seems to have updated now! Rebooting server and will report back if all is well.

Thank you!

Please upgrade to 6.11.5 and you will see the correct driver in the plugin.

You are still on 6.9.2 which is outdated anyways...

Just wanted to say it's all good now after the file edit. Still not sure what happened exactly, but I was able to update to v525.78.01 today.

Thank you!

Jup, my server compiled and created the package just a few hours ago...

 

Glad that everything is now working again.

Thanks. I wonder why it was working previously. Updated and it's all good now.

I would have worked previously too but only with a manual edit from the settings file.

The main reason why I asked you to upgrade was because 6.9.2 is simply outdated and shouldn't be used anymore.

 

Anyways, glad that it is now working for you!

I have many people having issues with using GTX 1600 series cards which fall from the bus for no reason or simply wont work at all.

 

Then pick a T600 it has 4GB of VRAM

 

A T400 is more than capable of 3 simultaneous streams if we are not talkig about 4K HFR…

I can transcode 3x 4K streams without any issue on my T400

 

BTW the T400, T600 & T1000 uses the same NVENC chip as the GTX 1600 series.

 

Also keep in mind for transcoding you don‘t need a powerhouse of a graphics card anyways. Even my Intel i5-10600 is capable of 4+ 4K transcodes at once with QuickSync and only uses a fraction of the power what you would need with a Nvidia card.

@ich777 @alturismo

Picked up a used GTX 1660 Super off ebay and swapped the 1070 card.  It runs great!  Chalking this ordeal up to a dead GTX 1070...it was a 2016 build date after all.

That aside, before I installed the new card, I ran a docker version of GPU-BURN and sure enough, the 1070 would not complete the test before throwing a XID: 31 READ_ERROR in the syslog.  [Remember that I was getting XID: 31 WRITE_ERRORs when Plex attempted to transcode before].  I had to manually close the docker to free up resources because the 1070 failed and locked up.

I installed the new GTX 1660 and ran the same GPU-BURN test for 5 mins.  Test completed without error.

I would love to see someone build an UNRAID docker/plugin for the GPU-BURN docker or a version of the CUDA-MEMTEST on github.

GPU-BURN

CUDA-MEMTEST

I would recommend that you request that on the Docker Engine sub forums since this is not really related to my plugin but I have to say that GPU-BURN ist just one single line that a user needs to execute and afterwards he has to delete the container from the Docker page with Advanced View turned on.

 

BTW if you want some more metrics from your card install nvtop from the CA App, this is command line only but a very useful tool if you want to see detailed utilization metrics.

 

Anyways, glad that everything is now working for you!

Tesla and Quadro cards are already supported by the plugin.

 hi im kind of confused.

 

I read multiple times that Tesla cards are supported and also multiple times that they are note Supported.

 

I own a Tesla M40 24GB card, and that some seems to be not working with your plugin.  Am i doing something wrong or is this one not supported. As far as i could see, this card is not in the list of Supported Graphics, but none Tesla seems to be in that one.

 

is there a way i could manually get the drivers running ?

 

 

Thanks alot for your efforts

Me too about the Tesla cards because they are Datacenter cards in general but the K series is confirmed working fine.

From what I see the Tesla M40 24GB card uses the same driver as the consumer cards when you select the Cuda 12.0 Toolkit so in theory it should work just fine.

 

Can you please post your Diagnostics with the driver installed so that I can see how your System is set up and what is maybe preventing it from being recognized?

Please install the Nvidia Driver plugin (and wait until the Done button is displayed in the installation pop up) as requested above and post your Diagnostics again.
