Hi, I am working on my first virtual machine, and I’ve hit two major problem. I am using the following: VMware Workstation Windows XP SP3 The sound is off, like static/too loud sometimes. The other main problem is games refuse to stretch to fit the screen, or if I up the resolution it doesn’t change a thing. I am trying to get the EA MVP Baseball games to run her. Minor problem is despite having a superior video card video isn’t as smooth as I know it can be. Any ideas how to fix these errors?

I have a tattoo studio which runs up to six PC's and a couple laptops. In an effort of economy I would like to create a best possible networked system which would utilize one main machine as a server and perhaps utilize one machine(or the same machine) for the GPU hardware. The idea is that instead of buy 6X fully decked out PC's. I buy one PC with mass storage and a decent GPU, the other 5 PC's utilize this main PC's hardware. The main work done on these PC's is photoshop design on almost all PC's and one content creator PC (video and photo editing) From some reading I've done a GPU server wouldn't work without multiple GPU's. Then someone else mentioned that a smaller gpu is used and helped by a larger gpu to do all the heavy lifting. I'm a total noob to servers/networking so be gentle... Is this idea even feasible? What is the best way to approach this? -
i would like to have some advice... i would like to have a NAS solution but i can not afford it now.. 1. I got my PC at home that i use for work and i´m thinking if it would be a good idea to install an OMV VM inside Win10 in order to hack a backup solution and get acces to those files (easily) from the internet (outside of mu local network) ? 2. also i have a few HDDs in my PC (3 desktop drives and 2 WD nas drives) i would like to know if the VM is running with the WD NAS drives mounted on it.... the other drives mounted on win10 will keep spining all the time ? this can cause some damage to the desktop drives? Thanks a lot -
I'll try to be as specific as possible here. My server had CentOS 7 installed to it previously and is now the default OS (it was initially installed via bootable USB). However, I now want to replace it with ProxMox to make other VMs. The server is an IBM/Lenovo x3850 x5 with a IBM 88Y5351 motherboard and four Intel Xeon E7 4830 processors (32 physical cores across all of them). In BIOS, hyperthreading, Intel Virtualization (VT-x), and VT-d are all enabled. To boot ProxMox, I used the most recent ProxMox ISO (ProxMox VE 6.3 iso release 1) etched to a 16 GB USB. I will note that the only thing that seemed a bit off was that the ISO was a mere 800 MB, which I'd imagine is pretty low for an OS. After plugging in the ProxMox USB and going into the boot options, I selected "USB Storage," as seen below (see image "20210212_233733") After selecting this option, I was greeted by what I assume to be a fairly nominal loading screen (see image "20210212_233813") After this, I got the normal "ProxMox" screen with a couple options, of which I selected the top one ("Install ProxMox VE"). See image 20210212_233843. Edit: When I select the "Install ProxMox VE" option it immediately tells me that my monitor is going into screen saver move but my server is still running. What might I have done wrong?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for assistance in figuring out what setting in my router is blocking my home assistant virtual machine from working. I keep getting TX hang errors which is causing my PC to become non responsive when trying to run home assistant via virtualbox. Through a process of elimination I've managed to narrow it down to something in my Unifi setup. I know it's something in there as I plugged in my ISP's router and home assistant launches fine so something in Unifi is blocking this from working. Here's the log I get when it becomes non responsive: Here -
Long story short, I want to be able to have as many different desktops in virtual space as possible, and was surprised back when I bought the Vive years ago that this was limited to actual ports on the motherboard and or connected GPUs. I picked up an Index and am back to the same quandary. Or are there other solutions? I looked into headless hdmi plugs years ago but had hoped there was a better solution since the Vive years. Any help in the right direction. Was inspired by the LTT video of the mobo with the ridiculous number of USB ports for what was clearly an industrial solution. ‘’Thanks in advance, ‘’Kevin -
Hey so I am leaving for a road trip, and business meeting have started for me.

Hello, everyone. I'm building a virtual lab for fun and I'm running into some issues that I could use some help with. The Default Gateway to my Domain Controller keeps becoming unavailable within a server on the domain. It appears to drop when I try to access the internet from inside the server. I discovered the error when attempting to download chrome from internet explorer. Resetting the adapter resolves the problem temporarily, but if I try to do anything on the internet, say, install chrome, the internet will drop. I have static IPs on both the DC and the Server. Changing Bridge to NAT with the IP set via DHCP in the server itself restores access to the internet, but it appears the server needs to use a static IP if I want to use Windows admin center. However; when I switched back to Bridged, set the server to a Static IP and attempted to install a browser, the internet speeds dropped to the floor. Ultimately the downloads failed. The issue appears to be related to assign the Static IP and a preferred DNS to the server. Would anyone know what might be the issue? I would appreciate any assistance that is available. Thank you. PS: Included an image of an error found in Event Viewer and the status of my Virtual BOX Thank you all in advance. Version 6.1.12 R139181 MacOS Enable VT-x/AMD-V Hyper-V (Not applicable)Installed guest additions.

Trying to build my own server farm, but old servers are not available in my country and it's really hard to get good spec rack servers, so I'm thinking if it is logical to use consumer desktops for my virtualization projects (ovirt,openstack,ceph) Thinking of CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900x Motherboard: Need help Ram: 4 x 16GB adata (total 64GB) PSU: Need help Case: Need help (Thinking of getting custom case) Also should I get cooling? I believe the Ryzen 3900x already includes a fan I hope that is enough. This is only for home and will turn off from time to time. More of a practice bench for me.

Hey Linus and Community! :-D. How are you all doing?, I'm new to the Linus tech tips forum, but I'm a long time follower of Linus's Videos. As stated above is this even feasibly in the realm of possibility????, if it is I would love to see it done(I'm poor so I lack the hardware). But Linus is crazy, I hope he's crazy enough for this, SQUARE UP LINUS. -
I'm trying to build a virtual Network lab simulator setup for a classroom setting. Thinking about using a big ol 32GB RAM/i9 CPU server with GNS3 on it and just have like 10 laptops for the students to connect to it. However, a couple of things are required: the setup needs to be completely mobile, remote capability from anywhere in the world, each student laptop GNS3 session is completely separate from one another so they won't interfere with each other's work, not looking to spend more than $30,000. I'd like to know your ideas how this can be accomplished.

I was looking for some advice for my current server build. Any help appreciated. PS: I took this template from a reddit forum lol What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using. * I am a machine learning developer looking to build a virtualization server. I need high computational resources on the fly. I am also an occasional gamer, so I want the option to run games. Additionally want to possible run a plex server on this build. * I need to use multiple OS's constantly for what I do, so I want to be able to run many operating systems concurrently. I want to connect to my machine with a monitor and connect externally via the internet with GUI or SSH. What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes? Let's assume that money is not a concern When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy. Let's assume right now. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc) Just the PC components, I am not concerned with the case (fun fact I might be building it into a desk), or peripherals Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location? Canada If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated. Nothing to reuse Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?** Overclocking is a yes Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc) CUDA, and possibly RAID Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components? No case concerns, as I might be building it into a desk Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference? Nope Other Info: Let's assume that money is not a concern, and I am looking to incorporate an 18 core CPU, 64GB ram, and 4 graphics cards maybe P4000s or even RTX 2080s. I want to share the 4 graphics cards between the OS's if that's possible. What's the best value hardware for this scenario, and possible virtualization software setup. Needless to say, I want to minimize video tearing and I/O complications. -
hi how do i copy my virtual machine from one place to another. i tried to export it but it doesnt and fails

Hi all, I’m interested in building a VR set up for under $4000. I need to purchase a PC and am open to both laptop and desktop options. What configuration might maximize immersion/graphics quality? I’d like to use VR for gaming and general recreation. How does the Oculus Rift compare to the Vive Pro, immersion wise? VR and PCs fall outside my wheelhouse. I welcome all thoughts. Thank you.

Is there any way to fake at least threads or create virtual ones? Same for cpu cores -
Hi All, I have a running Virtual Machine is Hyper V with about 4 different virtual adaptors. I need to give each adaptor a unique name (they were all original called something like adaptor but they are all now called 1) The only way I have found so far is to use powershell and type "Rename-VMNetworkAdapter" with an option at the end for the new name. If I run this command with the VM name and the new name then I can rename all of the virtual adaptors on the virtual machine but this doesn't help as the final result is a virtual machine with 4 adaptors that all use the same name. There is an optional parameter "-name" which lets you name the adaptor you want to change the name of, however, this doesn't help as they are all currently using the same name so they all change again. haha I am reading from this doc for context https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/hyper-v/rename-vmnetworkadapter?view=win10-ps If someone can think of a way to get around this then I am forever in your debt! Thanks, Scott -
I have an iMac, and I was curious if I could play windows games on it. I first started thinking of turning into a windows machine all together, but I was wondering if running a virtual machine inside of Mac OS would be possible to game with? Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi, so... the tittle seems legit... If you don't want to read all, scroll down to the RESUME at the end. I have my new PC (Ryzen 5 2400G) running and playing all day (when im not working). The problem is that recently i found my copy of "Shogun Total War: Warlord Edition"... i've tried everything, all solutions i've found online, and seems to go nowere. The problem is that my hardware and the SO (W10) don't wan't to run it. The game was released in 2000, so, retro-compatibility is a nono. I come with an idea, set a VM, get my older Wxp and install the game in it, another "fiasco". The game runs at 3fps, not playable at all. Diggin in the configurations I ended up in the hardware administrator on the XP in the VM... to my surprise is running in software mode, i go to the unknown devices and is there, the graphics card, but windows reject to recognize it. No drivers to install and no way to solve it. The main problem is that after 4 days+ reading and surfing the net, it seems that "GPU EMULATION" doesn't exist, or i really suck in english (not my language so im working hard tipyng here). If is someone out there that knows more of this than me, ¿is it possible to "emulate older gpu's" in a newer gpu?, that includes triking the OS to thinking that i have another gpu apart from the integrated one (like GTX450 or ATI equivalent), and emulated in my integrated GPU or even in the CPU, so i can install the drivers in the VM-Wxp to run the game. Resume: Is some way to emulate an older GPU on my newer GPU or CPU (doesn't matter in wich one) so i can play older games in my virtual machine with WindowsXP? All other options (like compatibility mode, even editing files of the game) are a nono, no one works. (The game: "Shogun Total War: Warlord Edition")

Good morning from Germany, I would like to connect a physical Maschine to a virtual internal switch (for example in hyper-v) to test software without having multiple machines available to the router. Haven't tried it yet but if I would create a pfSense VM with a physical nic to the PC and a internal one for internet connectivity wouldn't work, right?

Hey guys, I've been planning this build for a while (delayed gratification + time to save up!) and plan on purchasing it sometime in January. I'm located in the United States and my goal is to create a gaming PC with a budget of $1600 for the PC and Monitor. I would like to play games at 1440p running at least 60hz, as well as VR games with the Oculus Rift. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel - Core i5-8400 2.8 GHz 6-Core Processor ($215.85 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: NZXT - Kraken M22 Liquid CPU Cooler ($82.58 @ Amazon) Motherboard: MSI - Z370-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($99.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill - Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($109.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($52.99 @ Newegg) Video Card: Zotac - GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB Mini Video Card ($329.99 @ B&H) Case: NZXT - H500 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ B&H) Power Supply: EVGA - 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($37.99 @ Monoprice) Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit ($98.99 @ Amazon) Monitor: Dell - S2716DG 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor ($439.00 @ Amazon) Total: $1537.36 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2018-12-06 15:57 EST-0500 I've included a monitor choice (single monitor, 1440p) in the build since it will factor into the budget. I'm not worried about a keyboard or mouse recommendation as I will be purchasing those separately after the PC has been built. Please let me know what you guys think, in particular if there are any noticeable bottlenecks in the system. In my experience bottlenecks give me the most trouble; having a mismatched GPU and CPU has been an issue in the past. Thanks in advance!

Hi, am working on a test form a IT company so i might work ther. but at stuck at one point. 2nd task is to set up an virtue server for a client. it has to be ubuntu 14.08 LTS. and SSH. (btw working in Openstack on the companys desktop) it is one tips with the task: the username is ''ubuntu'' and i need to use sudo to root. i think i did the setup wright but i don't know the password so i cant figure out how i can sudo anything. you guys can look at det Instance console log and the consol.

Hi folks, I recently built myself a new system, leaving me with my old computer having the following specs : i5-3570k @ stock speed 2*8 GB DDR3 @ 1333Mhz 4*1 TB WD Blue 7.2k Drives 120 GB Kingston UV400 SSD 2*Gbe Intel NIC I'm planning to use this machine as an ESXi Server, virtualizing all my physical instances of various servers. I'm curious as to know whether at this point of time, given that my processor is fairly old, is there any point in adding two more sticks of 8GB ram, or should I just continue running the same config, and save money for an entirely new build ? I'm also a CS and IT undergrad, so sometimes I can have anywhere from 4-10 VM's running (hence the 4 * 1 TB Disks in my old system). Also, if I do upgrade to 32 gigs, together with a RAID 0 of 8 * 1TB Purple WDs (Raid controller and spare disks lying around from various builds), how many VMs can I run simultaneously run without the CPU being a bottleneck ?

Is there a way for those that can't attend LTX 2018 in person to interact virtually with either LTT staff or audience members?
