For what would you use it with the legacy drivers? This card isn't even capable of transcoding most of the things out there today.

Also the legacy drivers won't work properly with Docker container in general.

 

I can recommend you to get a Nvidia T400 you can get them brand new for about $130,- (2GB Turing card).

I installed that plugin with Unraid 6.9.2 and restart the server.

After restart dont start the docker service.

What can I do?
I tried disable and enable the service via gui, and restart the server and  uninstall plugin and restart server.

 

Thanks so much!!

 

 

I see, my problem seem its caused by Unassigned Devices plugin.
thanks.

Yes, looking good. This card can do h264 and h265 without a problem.

So the plugin wasn't the issue and everything is now working I think?

I have installed all things I can and the Nvidia Driver seems works fine.

 

But it's werid that I can't startup the Emby Container with "--runtime=nvidia".

Alright, I think I figured it out by myself. I just add runtimes in /etc/docker/daemon.json and restart docker function once. Then the Emby container could use the nvidia runtime by adding extra parameters now.

 

It‘s troublesome that I can't access domain or website related to Unraid and the plugin cannot be installed normally because I'm living in China. I'm expecting editing http proxy via webUI in future version.

What? Why? Have you restarted the Docker Daemon once or even read the first post or the red warning about that you have to restart the Docker Daemon once?

I think someone already forked my driver and also the repo and made it available, please ask in the Chinese language subforums.

does this driver version support the M series cards?  M10? 

Alright, Ive spent hours reading and trying to get this to work, but I just cant get nvidia-smi to work with my card.

 

Failure and card info:

root@Singularity:~# nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

root@Singularity:~# lspci -k | grep -i NVI
84:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 770] (rev a1)
        Kernel modules: nvidia_drm, nvidia
84:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)

 

It is supported.

I do not have it part of a group attached to a VM:

 

 

I have ACS override disabled:

 

Still cant get it to communicate. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

On the first page in the Troubleshooting section I've linked the Nvidia Unix Driver page where you can see which cards are supported by which driver (click on the driver version and on "Supported Products").

 

I don't think that a Tesla card is supported by this driver because these are Datacenter cards.

You have stubbed the card in your syslinux.config:

BOOT_IMAGE=/bzimage pci-stub.ids=10de:1184 initrd=/bzroot

 

...and here you can see that it uses pci-stub instead of the nvidia module:

84:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 770] [10de:1184] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: eVga.com. Corp. GK104 [GeForce GTX 770] [3842:3774]
	Kernel driver in use: pci-stub
	Kernel modules: nvidia_drm, nvidia
84:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 HDMI Audio Controller [10de:0e0a] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: eVga.com. Corp. GK104 HDMI Audio Controller [3842:3774]

 

 

Please remove the part 'pci-stub.ids=10de:1184' and it should work fine (go to Main -> click on the blue text that says "Flash" -> remove the mentioned part -> click "Apply" -> "Reboot").

Can you post your Diagnostics please?

It says that the driver package was found locally, are you updating the package or how did you get to this window?

I have tried to install more than once but the initial install froze at the same stage (Installing Nvidia Driver Package v470.94). this message was at the install plugin screen, the same one that says dont click the "X". the install never finishes, i sat at this window for hours during the initial install and finally clicked the x. It appears that it gets halfway installed because in settings>userutilities i see the "nvidia driver" listed.

Actually not, only the plugin page but not the driver is installed, have you tried to click the "Download" button on the driver page itself yet?

 

What card are you using? Can you try to switch to the latest production version and then click the Download button?

 

If that also doesn't work can you try if this download is working for you: Click

Have you installed AdGuard, PiHole or any other blocking software in your network, maybe try to disable it when downloading the driver.

The download button worked and everything is working now.

Have you restarted your server after you've pressed Download or am I wrong?

Hi there,

 

I have a GTX 960 that is on the list of supported devices, and the device shows up in the hardware list, but nvidia-smi states no driver loaded as no hardware ?

Please try to boot with Legacy mode instead of UEFI mode and make sure that you've enable "Above 4G Decoding" and "Resizable BAR Support" in your BIOS (maybe you got only the "Above 4G Decoding" option).

 

Here is the error that the plugin reports and is most likely related to Above 4G Decoding beeing disabled:

nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 245
NVRM: This PCI I/O region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid:

Thank you so much ! Not sure I have that option in my BIOS I am running a T310 with external GPU setup. Will have a look but if not is my option to ha e a card below 2G ?

I think if you don't have this option in your BIOS you will be out of luck, but I think you should at least have somewhere a similar option for Above 4G Decoding, I'm not too familiar how Dell names things in the BIOS.

 

EDIT: Sorry forgot to say that this has nothing to do with the memory of the card, this option is for reserving memory regions for the hardware.

Is there anyone that could help me out with this issue.   I cannot get the HW transcoding working on Plex.  

Things I have confirmed.   

Latest Nvidia plugin.

GPU parameters on the docker.

Running latest Unraid 6.10-rc2

Running a EVGA GTX 1060 6GB

Using the standard plexinc docker with plex pass.

 

Followed the steps outlined at the beginning of this thread.   

 

Here is my nvidia-smi output:
