Hey I am Trying to install a vm of windows 10 for my friend hes pc has been broken for a while and he has a old laptop that he uses Geforce now on to play some game but lots of games are not on there and i have 2 Gpu What would i need to do to setup a vm with windows on it and have it use one on my gpu with good fps My Specs Are : AMD Ryzen 9 5900x 80 GB Of Ram 6900xt 1060 6gb Had the 1060 laying around from a while ago and plugged it in to set it up

I was downloading a virtual machine to test some stuff in it. And i deleted it i though its gone. But now everytime i restart my pc its saying repairing my storage card. I can see that im missing 150GB Of my 1TB Storage card. How do i fix this?!?! I think a file of the virtual machine is still on my pc so my pc will think i have 2 times a storage card. (My english is bad i hope someone can help me)

Hey I Have a Windows VM Setup But its Been Using my Main GPU I Have Hyper-V As The VM Software and I used Easy GPU-P To Set it Up But With Easy GPU P says that I can't pick a Specific GPU In Windows 10 Is There Anyway around this issue I use to VM To let one of my buddy's play games on since he's pc has been broken for a while and I have 2 GPUs so it does not hurt me but when I want to play heavy games we both get fps drops and I would like to give him the 1060 6GB to play on Specs Ryzen 9 5900X Vengeance RGB Series 64GB DDR4 3200MHz XFX Speedster MERC 319 Radeon RX 6900 XT MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GT OC MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE Thanks.

keeps on appearing on my windows 11 vm no matter what I do, btw here are the specs before you're gonna ask

Hello I have some trouble with my vm. It's a Ubuntu 20.04 guest on a windows 10 host. Everything works fine when I start the vm. But after a certain amount of time (sometimes 30 min, sometimes 1 hour, sometimes even sooner) it becomes incredibly slow. The mouse jumps instead of the normal movement, dragging windows is a pain cause it gets later at the position then the mouse. Opening files is slow as a snail, etc. My host device has 32 GB RAM and 8 cores 16 thread CPU. I located 6 cores to the vm in VMWare and 16GB of Ram. All the VMWare tools are installed. While the guest is being slow, there is no swap memory used and the 16GB is not fully used, the CPU is also at very low usage. Does anyone know how to solve this or why this is happening? About half a year ago it still worked perfectly fine and i didn't change a thing. I'll already thank you for reading my problem.

I hope someone can finally help me here, And I would like to make my live streams over a VM in Unraid. Here, the VM should serve as a streaming PC, which only encodes the video signal. For this purpose, both computers are connected via a 10GBit line. This connection is for the video stream only. The video signal from OBS runs via NDI. Means, all scenes etc. are hosted in Obs on my gaming calculator and OBS sends the signal to my VM via NDI. For this purpose, I have created an extra subnet over the 10GBit line and this NDI also assigned via the Access Manager. In Unraid I have assigned one of the two 10Gbit ports of my emulex card an IP in the subnet and created a bridge for my VM. This bridge is also visible in the VM and can be passed. If I want to see the signal from my gaming calculator now in the VM, I see my sources, but no picture. Werder in NDI as well as in the Studio Monitor of NDI. Firewall is disabled on both computers and the GPU is also integrated into the VM. The streaming over NDI has also worked without Unraid. Only in the VM I get no picture. I hope someone can help me fix the problem.

So im trying to set up a Arma 3 Exile Server. Its all set up but the only issue is that i cant see the ports open from the outside. Unraid on a Dell R320 UDM Pro is the Router What I've done so far I've turned off Windows firewall on the VM to test I've port Forwarded to the VMs IPs The Default Gateway is 192.168.1.1 The VMs IP is 192.168.1.67 --The VM Network setting are set to Network Bride br0 Network Model virtio-net The UnRaid IP is 192.168.126 I have a PiAware feeder for flight radar 24 working on port 30002, 30003 and it shows open

I just finished setting up my server with TrueNAS. While trying to create a vm I found that I can't create new storage pools because my whole Drive is allocated to the boot-pool(just to clarify this, I have more then one drive I just have them in a Raid-0 configuration using a raidcard.). Is there a way to store zvols on the boot-pool or to resize the boot-pool so it doesn't take up my whole storage and I can create a new storage pool?

I decided to test-flight the Windows 11 Beta. I got my filthy hands on the ISO. So far so good. Now, I'm used to just dumping the ISO content onto a GPT/FAT32 partition and UEFI boot off of it. But this ISO is not making it easy. The install.wim file is over 4GB in size and as such cannot be copied to a FAT32 volume. I google-fu'd a solution, which was to use DISM to split the wim into multiple files. Fair enough, I have do my share of DISMing back in the day (turns out these DISM operations have a pretty neat PowerShell analogs these days, and one feels more like a pro using those, right?: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/dism/split-windowsimage?view=windowsserver2019-ps). This installer (with the split wim files sneaked into the relevant folder (sources) instead of the install.wim) boots fine, but the installation falls on its face prematurely with an error some 2% into the 'copying files' part. Now, this might be due to the split wim image, I don't really know, maybe there were more steps to follow after the splitting that I overlooked . Now, I'm a resourceful boi so this didn't stop me, though the following step might feel like a bit of an overcomplicated reach-around: I have - created a virtual machine in Hyper-V (has to be Gen 2 if we want it to UEFI boot, which we do) - loaded the original Win11 ISO into the VM's emulated optical drive - attached one of my physical drives to the VM (my other, non-system M.2 NVMe disk) - this is done by first making it offline in Disk Management, then adding it to the VM - booted the VM from the ISO - started the Windows 11 Beta installation to the attached disk - wait for the first (or the second is fine, too) reboot phase and shut down the VM - booted up my PC from the SSD that was in the middle of the install process - It picked up from there Anyway. This is how I managed to handle my 'installer media' problem. This may be helpful to someone with a similar problem, or you can share if you have a different solution (as long as it's not burning the ISO to an actual DVD - it's 2021 ffs!). Hmm, maybe I could have just 'imaged' the ISO onto an external USB flash drive? But in my experience those tools don't always work as they should.

Anyone that plays games on Linux has this one dreaded enemy. Anti-Cheats. Even if your game would run flawlessly under wine/proton. An Anti-Cheat like EAC would just crush it because it would think that wine/proton are a cheating engine instead of a compatibility layer. So the only way to play those games on Linux would be through a windows Virtual Machine. The thing is that those VMs can't have 3D hardware acceleration unless you passthrough a GPU. If you do passthrough a GPU that GPU cannot render the host OS. So it was advice for a long time to have 2 GPUs one for the Linux host or the VM. The thing is that today we have a GPU shortage so even the RX 550 I have in my system is a luxury. It seemed that all hope was lost, that I would never play Smite again. Until I met VMware Player. I don't understand the guru coding magic it goes under it. But for some reason I have 3D Accelerated Graphics on a VM without a passthrough! And I can play SMITE again. And it runs very close to native. (It causes some stutters from time to time but after a restart of the VM everything is fixed) I don't know if all games run this way. I tried Dauntless and the game couldn't make it past 4 fps. Maybe I could tweak the settings a bit and make it run, but honestly I am not that into Dauntless in the first place. All I cared about was SMITE and now I can run it again and I am very happy Thought that it would be nice to share that VM. Maybe VMware Player can help you to run your own game past that pesky anti-cheat.

I just got a single GPU passthrough thing working on my Manjaro system (7700K, 1080ti, Z270I Gaming Pro Carbon AC), but I’m not getting any sound. I have already enabled linger, and I set nographics_allow_host_audio to 1 in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf. When I run a normal VM without passthrough, qemu is running is my own user, as is virt-manager, as is pulseaudio. I’ve also tried adding the following to my xml, but it doesn’t solve anything: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='ich9-intel-hda,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x1b'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='hda-micro,audiodev=hda'/> <qemu:arg value='-audiodev'/> <qemu:arg value='pa,id=hda,server=unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native'/> </qemu:commandline> So, anyone got an idea on how to get sound working? Preferably both microphone and audio out.

so i want to disable hyper-v since with it enabled i can't run a VM (my processor is Celeron N3150 (Brasswell)) and i just installed WSL and hyper-v got enabled, and i go search how to disable it, found microsoft documentation, but it didn't work in any ways, powershell ? failed, control panel (turn windows features on or off) ? failed as well, idk what to do again, this isn't a urgent thing but i hope you guys can help me (the instruction i followed : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/virtualization-apps-not-work-with-hyper-v )

Hey y'all! Just watched the new video where Linus talks about NVIDIA GPU passthrough. Here's my question. Can I use passthrough on my RTX 2070 to send NVIDIA Broadcast from my gaming rig to my streaming rig which has a GTX 970 which, as you probably know, is not compatible with that software? Or is that just not what passthrough is for? He talked a lot about Linux use cases but I'm not on a Linux machine. It's Windows 10 on both. Thanks in advance!

Budget (including currency): ~$5,000 Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 3x Type-2 VMs (2 running windows 10 pro, 1 running full kali linux) && the Main OS the VMs are run on as Windows 10 pro w/ WinKex running the Kali-linux-everything metapackage in seamless mode w/ sound support. All windows VM's need to be able to run productivity applications such as Photoshop, Audition, mail, OBS, and a external Voice mod controller to simulate different voices for different users, just to name a few. The Windows VMs as well as the Main OS need to be able to utilize multiple browsers (Edge, Firefox and Firefox Dev Edition, Opera GX in particular) The Kali VM needs the highest Network speeds out of all VMs by about 50% while the others are at about the same speeds. All VMs are expected to run a VPN client as well. ALL of these are expected to be run fairly as effecient as a single 4th gen i7 haswell CPU does with a single NonVM Windows 10 OS does natively or better.. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 3x 4K monitors via display port and 1 48"oled TV via HDMI 2.1 will be used to separate the VMs into their own displays, the TV will be used as an in-between to run and rearrange VM's etc. Refresh rates @ 60fps or better each @ 4k or better Resolution. Advice needed to suggest what hardware would be best/most bang for buck for this rig. No gaming needed. I would like to know how many cores I need on the cpu (no preference for brand, but my testing has concluded that the AMD brand is better for this workload but feel free to explain if I'm wrong and why as I don't care as much about brand loyalty, only efficiency and functionality.), what kinds of storage and RAM (I hope to give all VM's and the base machine about 1-2TB's of storage and ~16Gb of ram on All systems, VM and Base OS), etc. as TBH, I'm more of a software nerd not a hardware geek. Thanks! Current build plans attached, but as I have stated above, I don't know much about hardware, only software, and I am allocating ~6 cores/~12 threads to each vm and the majority rest to the main OS.. Help me to make sure I'm doing this right and make sure I get enough and if I need more please let me know as the Budget is loose on this (though I wish to make it as cost effective as possible) Much appreciated ahead of time, Thank you again!

Hello fellow geeks! I am looking for some guidance, as i want to swap to Linux from Win10! The swap is not because of Win11, but because i am fed up with annoying bugs/missing features. Some of my issues are: Can't use the win search for anything anymore, have to reinstall after some windows updates because of BSOD(occurs less frequently now), escaping strings while programming, setting %path variables requires 1-3 reboots for magic reasons, 15 desktops needs to be setup from scratch whenever i reboot and the list goes on.. The software i must have available: Discord Photoshop (it is fine if it can run okay'ish on a VM as i am not using any of their performance functions) Google Filestream (might just be called a mounted/mapped Google Drive now) Hardware concerns: Bose QC 35 II - How is Bluetooth support in Linux now? Tried Mint 3 years ago and took me a long time to get Bluetooth running properly. Current system: Ryzen 3700x 64 GB RAM (2x32 GB 3600MHz) Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI Gigabyte RTX 2060 2TB Gen4 SSD From looking at different Linux distros i am a bit taken with Manjaro, not sure why.. I would love some advice! I am not a total noob in regards to Linux, have been using Debian(for servers) and Raspian for many years. However, i have never been happy/satisfied with the amount of trouble that has come with Linux desktop environments and this might have been influenced by trying to get docking stations and other non-standard devices to work. Luckily i don't work on a laptop with "special" requirements anymore and i think that will make the transition better =)

Hi there I am new to Unraid so this may be a rookie mistake but I setup a Windows10 VM using the virtual display driver at first. A lot of the tutorials out there are getting old enough that they are becoming just out of date enough to cause issues. After some trial and error I got that to work fine. Then I attempted to pass through a newly acquired EVGA 3080Ti to the VM. When I try to boot the VM I get nothing. The status symbol still says stopped and the red arrows just keep spinning. If I move away from the VM Manager screen and try to come back the GUI never renders the VM manager again with no error codes. I should also note that when I try to reboot the server it never fully cycles down and I have to do a hard power off in order to reboot. I am assuming I did something wrong here. Can anyone shine some light on the issue for me?

Long time watcher, first time poster so please be gentle haha Currently trying to setup a QEMU based Hackintosh based around Foxlet's github (link) and I managed to get it working through my GUI, but i'm trying to passthrough the GPU and it spent the past 3hrs spitting out errors and refusing to boot. I managed to sucessfully execute the shell script and recieve an output on the display BUT: *big ol display error* I've checked through and confirmed all the PCIE devices in that IOMMU group are pushed into VFIO_PCI, so I don't think it's a config error I think there's probably something wrong with the parameters in my booting script (unhide spoiler for code) I'mma be real with y'all, I am waaaay in over my head. Like I understand this sorta stuff, but I am not Anthony. Anyone got any idea of where I'm going wrong, and what could fix it? I'm at a dead end...

Is there a way to set up a dedicated gpu for gaming on my host os whilst having another gpu in a vm for seperate usecases?

I don't know exactly how good these forums will be for VM's, so if you know of a better place where I can seek out help, I would be very grateful to know about it. I am no expert to VM's, but I needed one, and I gave it a shot. I couldn't find any advanced, in-detail tutorials on this, so my settings are the most reasonable I could find. Despite it running quite well, it tends to freeze up after a while. This used to happen to my attempt at making an Android VM as well, and I don't know what could be causing it. I have attached the log for the VM and these are my PC specs and VM settings: PC: 32 GB RAM | 2 slots AMD Ryzen 7 2700 CPU NVidia GeForce RTX 2070 VM 32 MB of video memory VBoxSVGA graphics controller no 3D acceleration 4096 MB RAM 2 processors 100% execution cap Nested VT-x/AMD-V enabled KVM Paravirtualization Interface Hardware Virtualization enabled (enabled in BIOS as well) Those are really all the settings that I see relevant. Please provide a configuration that could help me if mine has the incorrect settings, or notify me if I'm lacking a setting that is crucial for VM's or something. If you know of a better place to find answers, again, please let me know. Thank you all for your help! Windows 2-2021-05-11-00-19-00.log

Hi folks, I do have a question concerning a hobby project which is stuck in my mind for a couple of days and I can't seem to figure out a decent answer for myself. Therefore, I decided to ask for help from the community of my favorite Youtube hardware channel; Linus Tech Tips. Thanks a lot for the help in advance and my apologies if my questions are rather stupid, but I am definitely not a hardware expert myself Project description: So in the last couple of weeks I have been working on a decent collection of Python scripts which automatically scrape a few websites once every 7 days to show the offerings of these websites. I do this to automatically list new product offerings. However, currently these scripts are running on my own computer, where the terminal automatically starts the scripts Saturday. at 00:00. The downside is off course that once I shutdown my computer the scripts won't be able to run. So I thought; its time for an upgrade and I decided to look for a VM/VPS on which I can run the scripts, database, middleware, front-end etc. However, since it is just a hobby project my hardware requirement are very low and the costs of a dedicated VM/VPS are rather expensive for this purpose. Possible solutions A couple of days ago I searched around for a company which provide a VM/VPS and discovered multiple services. However, I just have the idea the prices are rather high for the RAM being offered. Below I listed some numbers of a Dutch company which offers a VPN solution. Couple of days ago I had a discussion with a colleagues about Raspberri Pi's and checked them out; and now I am stuck with the question whether I should just buy a raspberry Pi instead of a VM/VPS since it seems to be way more cost efficient. However, due to my lack of knowledge in hardware I may be missing some crucial points. Therefore, any help is highly appreciated VPN; €10,- a month; 1 CPU core; 1024MB RAM; 50GB SSD; €20,- a month; 2 CPU cores; 4096MB RAM; 150GB SSD; Raspberry Pi; €115,- once; 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, including a case with a cooling fan. TLDR; I want to host a couple of python scripts, a SQL database and a front-end. However, i think VM/VPS prices are rather high for the amount of RAM being offered (see numbers above). Therefore, i have the idea that buying a raspberry Pi may be a good solution. I have no experience in these projects; therefore I am looking for some general opinions on this subject. Thanks in advance

Preface This guide REQUIRES you to have a working Mac or access to an existing macOS install. Obtaining the macOS operating system files outside of an existing macOS installation is software piracy, as such it is against the forums ToS to provide help with obtaining macOS IN ANY OTHER WAY than the method I will outline in this guide. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME OR ANYBODY ELSE FOR HELP REGARDING OBTAINING macOS ON LINUX OR WINDOWS, YOU WILL BE IGNORED!! Prerequisites 1: A fairly modern CPU with X86-64 support (Intel or AMD is fine) 2: A PC running Windows or Linux with a MINIMUM of 16GB of RAM (The instructions in this guide will be for Windows, for Linux its almost identical) 3: Access to an existing macOS install to obtain the installation files 4: Some way of transferring the ISO from macOS to your host machine (shared folder, 32 GB USB flash drive or external HDD) 5: A copy of VMWare Player 16 or VMWare Workstation 16 (EXSi is also mentioned as being supported however I haven't tested it) 6: VMWare macOS Unlocker 7: Notepad++ (Optional) 8: Virtualisation support must be enabled in your systems UEFI Basic setup 1: Install VMWare in the usual way 2: Download and extract VMWare macOS Unlocker 3: Open the extracted folder and run "win-install.bat" as administrator 4: Wait, it might take up to 5 minutes to find and download the macOS VMWare Tools ISO 5: When the command prompt goes away we are ready to proceed with the next step Create the installation ISO 1: On your existing macOS installation download Big Sur from the app store 2: When the download finishes Big Sur setup will run, quit the installer back to desktop 3: Open Terminal 4: Create a blank image by issuing the following command (type your password when prompted) and hitting Enter sudo hdiutil create -o /tmp/BigSur -size 16384m -volname BigSur -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J 5: Mount the image you just created sudo hdiutil attach /tmp/BigSur.dmg -noverify -mountpoint /Volumes/BigSur 6: Next use the Create Install Media command to create a Big Sur installer on the image you just mounted sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/BigSur --nointeraction 7: Unmount the image hdiutil eject -force /Volumes/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur 8: Convert the DMG to a CDR and move it to your desktop hdiutil convert /tmp/BigSur.dmg -format UDTO -o ~/Desktop/BigSur 9: Rename the CDR to ISO mv -v ~/Desktop/BigSur.cdr ~/Desktop/BigSur.iso 10: Clean up temporary files left over from Create Install Media (optional) sudo rm -fv /tmp/BigSur.dmg 11; Using whatever method you choose transfer the ISO from your desktop to your host machine Create the VM 1: Run VMWare, create a new machine, name the VM & select macOS > Big Sur 11.1 as the Operating System 2: Create a new HDD image as per your requirements (80GB Minimum) 3: Click Finish then click Customise Hardware 4: For my machine I gave it 4 of my Ryzen 3800X cores and 8GB of RAM, you do whatever you need 5: Click on Video and enable 3D Acceleration (ignore the warning, not using this option forces 3MB total VRAM, even with it you can only get 128MB) 6: Delete the existing SATA Hard Drive, create a new NVMe Hard Drive and point it to the HDD image you created in step 2 7: Set up any other options as you need them but don't change any other hardware, macOS works OOTB with the default sound card and NIC 8: Point the virtual CD drive to the ISO we created earlier in the guide 9: When you're finished close the Customise Hardware page If you have an Intel CPU you can now skip straight to Install Big Sur. If you have an AMD Ryzen CPU please carry on with Customising the VM Config Customising the VM Config Only follow this section if you have an AMD CPU, otherwise skip on to Install Big Sur. Throughout this section I will use *vmname*, this refers to the name you gave your VM when you created it. For example if you called the VM "macOS VM" then replace *vmname* with macOS VM. 1: Open the folder containing your VM Files (Default on Windows 10 is /Documents/Virtual Machines/*vmname*) 2: Locate the file called *vmname*.vmx and open it in your favourite text editor 3: Scroll down to the very bottom of the file and on a new, blank line paste the following cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111" cpuid.0.ecx = "0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110" cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001" cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001" cpuid.1.ebx = "0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000" cpuid.1.ecx = "1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011" cpuid.1.edx = “0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111” featureCompat.enable = "TRUE" 4: Save the file and close it Install Big Sur 1: Start the VM 2: macOS installation should fire up 3: Install macOS as per your requirements Install VMWare Tools VMWare won't automount the Darwin VMWare Tools images on a Windows or Linux host so you have to locate it manually 1: Once setup has finished and you're on the desktop of macOS click VM > Settings (on the VMWare Toolbar) 2: Click CD/DVD 3: In the ISO Image File section click the Browse button 4: Navigate to your VMWare installation folder (default is C:\Program Files (X86)\VMware\VMWare Workstation or C:\Program Files (X86)\VMware\VMWare Player) 5: Locate the file called darwin.iso and double click it 6: If its not already ticked then click the Connect checkbox 7: VMWare tools setup will mount automatically 8: Before running the setup script open System Preferences > Security & Privacy, click the padlock icon and enter your password to unlock edit mode 9: Run the VMWare Tools setup script and follow it through 10: About half way through a warning will pop up about VMWare Extensions, on the Security & Privacy page click Allow 10a: If you don't click allow fast enough VMWare tools might fail to install, if this happens just run it through again (as long as you've already clicked Allow it will work) 11: Reboot 12: Enjoy running macOS Big Sur in VMWare What works and doesn't work Most basic applications I have tested work. Office, Virtual DJ, Steam (though I haven't tried running any games) and Ableton Live. I have not tested any of the built in Apple apps. I have not signed in to an Apple account (and I would advise you don't either). I'm going to say that macOS virtualisation stuff (like Parallels Desktop) will not work though I haven't tested any. For whatever reason it is impossible to give the VM more than 128MB of VRAM, I have tried everything I could find to change the value, nothing works. With VMWare Tools installed drag and drop works, shared folders work, mouse integration works and dynamic resolution scaling works.

I was looking but every piece of information is old on that topic. So what is better? You can build two middle range systems with all the extra hardware or build one with better components and split it between two users (separate GPU's of course). What advantages and disadvantages you get with each solution? For example I would like to have two gaming systems in one place. For games and some light work, used mostly by one of users. Logic says VM. Less components, less space. I would like to hear from you but real live examples are my field of interest. If there are bottlenecks with hardware, issues with managing VMs or any other things person should know before deciding I would love to hear about it.

What is the best Free Os to run VMs on an old Pc (it doesn't need to have tons of features, it just needs to run 2 linux vms one for a minecraft server and one for a website) I tried to install Vmware Esxi, but it doesn't detect my network card, I also tried to install Oracle VM server, but I got an error message halfway through the installation and couldnt find any documentation about it. Thanks in advance
