similar problem, but I even cannot detect nvidia.

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

I am not sure how to generate the bug-report.

I also try to use
sudo prime-select on-demand
Error: no integrated GPU detected.

I copy and paste the bug-report from ubuntu to a .txt file, I am not sure whether it can be use or not

The desktop versions of vmware/virtualbox/hyper-v don’t support pci passthrough.

Hi generix,
you answer me or him?
so, I need to use another version of virtualbox, is that right

7

Hi, generix. Please give me direction to csyoo on top. Thanks!

@csyoo the xserver is runing on the on-board matrox graphics, please connect the monitor to the nvidia gpu and create an xorg.conf to use it.

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "nvidia"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    BusID          "PCI:8:0:0"
    Option         "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

@ruyik
You would have to use a completely different base system installed on the bare-metal hardware, e.g. Windows Server Hyper-V, Linux-KVM, VMware esxi.
Running a simple Windows system doesn’t make this possible.

@generix, two questions. 1) Does Tesla T4 has the monitor connection (RGB)? 2) how to create xorg.conf after connecting the monitor to my Nvidia T4? Thanks!

11

The T4 doesn’t have any monitor outputs. Sorry, I didn’t look after what model you were using. It will use a virtual monitor (NVIDIA VGX) when the xserver is configured to use it. It can then be used over X11vnc/vnc0server or the like.
What kind of setup are you trying to run?

12

I need to change Nvidia setting to “Performance mode” so that the system can detect Nvidia instead of LIvmpipe… Now in the “Nvidia Setting”, the tab “Prime profile” is not shown, from which I can select the GPU I would like to use. Simply, I am having a problem in rendering with my S/W as the LIvmpipe is getting detected instead of Nvidia. Thanks!

13

This doesn’t work with a Matrox, the driver of that is very simple and doesn’t support any prime functions.

14

What would be the solution, then? Should I change the on-board graphic card for my monitor? Please list possible solutions to handle the problem. Thanks!

15

Hi, generix
I tried to use VMware, but the same problem happened.
Meanwhile, someone told me that only linux host will have pci passthrough, the window host will not.

16

@csyoo depending on your use case, try using bumblebee or virtualgl. Or use a different graphics card.

@ruyik vmware ESXI aka vsphere. Like said, a comsumer Windows can’t do passthrough, only Windows Server versions with hyper-v.

17

Thanks, generix. Can you instruct me about how to install virtualgal?

18

usually, it’s an install and go.

19

I have the same problem, any help ?
