What do you mean with that, the Driver Plugin only uses wget to download files...

Seems like there is something not configured properly...

 

This is always a bad idea to block the Google DNS server, why would you do that?

The plugin tries to ping 8.8.8.8 because it's an anycast IP address and is basically always online, just a little side note: not only my plugin tries to connect to 8.8.8.8 to check if there is actually a internet connection available...

In this case the boot takes about 30 seconds longer.

 

i had problems with unraid when IPv6 was enabled, when its enabled the vm's and docker container wont work with ipv6, so i disabled it and using the second NIC with IPv6 enabled only for the docker containers what need ipv6, and this solution works for me. the vm's got an ipv6 address and docker will work on ipv6.

but sometimes unraid itself will try to use that nic to download stuff by using the ipv6 address and this will fail of course because unraid isn't setup for ipv6...

 

i changed the firewall rule by only blocking 8.8.8.8 on port 53

(i want to prevent any device on my network to use googledns)

But then something also let's Unraid itself use IPv6 otherwise this can't be the problem.

Then it should be fine since it will only ping 8.8.8.8

So I just wanted to see if anyone could help me with Handbrake to do GPU transcoding? I can't figure out why its not working. I am running 1.3.3 jlesage/handbrake.

Have you also added the parameter '--runtime=nvidia' to the Extra Paramerters when you switch on the advanved view in your template?

 

Please keep in mind the application itself also has to be compatible with Nvidia and when it's not compiled with Nvidia support then it can't work.

@ich777 Sorry in advance If I should've created my own thread...

I am having trouble getting this plugin to detect my Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650.

 

I have tried all options for ACS Override as well as trying the different versions of the driver which show up in the plugin page (I have checked btw, and all these drivers should be compatible with the card).

On an earlier version of Unraid (pre 6.9) the same graphics card was working and I had even managed to get the Plex container to make use of it - but it stopped being detected one day out of nowhere.

 

Attached are various screenshots, showing the plugin page, IOMMU groups, and nvidia-smi output for each of the different ACS Override options, and additionally one image showing the system info.

 

What can I do to troubleshoot and fix this? The card works fine in another machine (Windows 10).

 

Thanks

Dan

This would nothing do to the plugin and the way that the driver detects the card.

Without the Diagnostics (Tools -> Diagnostics -> Download -> drop the downloaded zip file here in the text box) I really can't tell what's the problem here.

 

EDIT: Also I would recommend to upgrade to 6.9.2 first.

Ok thanks - I have upgraded Unraid to 6.9.2 and ACS is back on disabled since you said that doesn't matter.

The plugin still shows "No devices were found" and nvidia-smi says the same.

 

Diagnostics attached

May or may not be your problem, but you might also want to update the plugin..

Oh yeah, good point - thanks.

Unfortunately that made no difference to the problem - still can't find the card according to the plugin page and the nvidia-smi output. I have changed my driver selection to use the "Production branch" (I'm doubtful it makes any difference here but once it's working I want to stick to stable builds only).

 

New diagnostics attached in case that's needed again. The server has been restarted twice - once after updating the plugin and once after changing the driver selection. The diagnostics are from the most recent boot.

 

Thanks

This seems like a hardware related issue, are you sure that your card get's enough power from your power supply?

Please make sure that you enable above 4G decoding in your motherboard.

 

Is it eventually possible that you put the card in a system where it works under Windows, create a new Unraid USB Key with a Trail key (don't start the array), install the CA App, then install the Nvidia Driver plugin and after that look if the card is recognized on this system (just to be sure that it's not a issue of the hardware combination cpu/motherboard/gpu?

 

The last thing that you can do is to reset your BIOS (only if you know how to set back everything back so that you can boot Unraid).

 

Also make sure that you boot Unraid with Legacy Mode and not UEFI.

Greetings all!

First of all, I love this plugin. It works great and I really appreciate all the work you've put into it!

 

My rig (running 6.9.2) has a Quadro P2200, and I've observed that any driver newer than 460.73.01 causes a bug check/kernel panic. If I install one of these newer drivers and try to load the plugin page, it will never load (because the system has locked up). Alternatively, if I connect via the terminal and run 'nvidia-smi,' this will also cause the machine to lock up.

 

I've tested up through version 465.31 and have experienced the same results. For now I'll stay on 460.73.01 as I assume this is an NVIDIA driver issue. I just wanted to get a post out there in case anyone else runs into this. If a future version resolves this, I'll note it here.

 

If you do happen to get stuck in this scenario, here's how I've gotten out of it:

- Reboot your machine. When it comes back up, avoid going to the dashboard or the nvidia driver settings page

- Uninstall the nvidia driver plugin

- Reboot, then reinstall the nvidia driver plugin. Close the window when it starts downloading the driver package (I know it says not to, but this part is important)

- Now go to the nvidia driver plugin page. Select the driver version you want to download, then click the Download button on the left

- Reboot your machine. When it comes back up, reinstall the nvidia driver plugin. The installer will use the local version instead of downloading the latest, and your machine should hopefully be back in business! Test things are ok by running 'nvidia-smi' or opening the driver plugin page.

The card only takes power from the motherboard and it SHOULD be enough but that's something I need to check - maybe with all the hard drives I've added since the time it worked has caused a shortage of power?

Not sure what above 4G decoding is so will look into that.

 

It's a pain in the butt but yes if it comes to it I have another system I can use to temporarily run unraid and test the card that way.

 

The BIOS has been reset at least twice since I have been having the problem so I'm not convinced I could make a difference doing it again, and I am booting with Legacy Mode already so that's definitely not the issue.

 

I will try the 4G decoding, check the power situation, and try the card in a temp unraid server and get back to you.

Thanks

The only hardware I changed was adding the P2000 and it's been a while since I updated the bios. This is a custom build with new hardware and I'm not sure what gnif/vnedor-reset patch is so I'm assuming I don't have it.

@jtmoore81

 

I was having the same problem with a blank screen for the nvidia driver plugin and the system locking up until the other GPU in my system was bound to vfio. This was with unraid version 6.9.2. With version 6.9.1, I was able to get it working without binding the GPU to vfio as long as the BIOS was configured to legacy boot.

This should be a setting in your BIOS.

I can't think of a different way to check if the card is working and to check if there isn't any weird hardware combination related issue on your existing setup.

I haven't tried that yet but I ran the server details through a PSU calculator and even if I over-exaggerate on the number of drives etc, my PSU should have plenty of overhead. It's about 400-460W recommended but the fitted PSU is 750W.

 

I'll endeavour to follow the other suggestion (temporary unraid server using an entirely different machine - one where this card can work in Windows) tomorrow.

Thanks

I've run into an issue I can't figure out.

I noticed my Plex server stopped using hardware transcode, so it was sucking up the CPU instead.
When I added "--runtime=nvidia" to the extra parameters in the docker from Linux Server guys.

I was using the latest version of the driver (v465.31), and the UUID of the GPU was showing.

So I decided to go the for the production version instead, and rebooted the server.
Now it's no longer showing the UUID of the GPU.
 

I can't figure out what has changed, and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.

Any ideas?

It popped up with a new driver, so I need to reboot. But right now (before the reboot) it says:

Gonna reboot, and get back to you in 5-10 minutes.

 

EDIT:

It's working atm...

Edited May 31, 20215 yr by Nanobug

It works now.
I did verify the checksum before I posted here, since I was talking to the Linux Server guys on Discord.

It's hard to tell what worked, since it had an update to the production driver at the same time.

Anyway, thank you for your help, as always

 

EDIT:
One side question;

How do I make the GPU part work on the unRAID dashboard?
It looks like this:

It's a P2200.

Eventually the download failed and it can't install the driver package, but on the other hand that can't happen because I have built in a check if the download fails that the plugin installation aborts.

Really don't know what caused this...

That's a good question, some cards display more than others do, what is the output from 'nvidia-smi' now?

Eventually make a short post in the GPU Statistics plugin support page, @b3rs3rk is the real master when it comes to this plugin.

It checked okay before I started having issue.

I only noticed it since it randomly saw it CPU transcoded on my Plex server.

Looks fine to me, and it's transcoding as well:
