Hello,
I’ve installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 amd64 LTS on an Acer VN7-593G-73E7 notebook with a GTX 1060m (6GB VRAM) and did all updates/upgrades. After that I added GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_iommu=on iommu=pt i915.enable_gvt=1 vfio-pci.ids=10de:10f1,10de:1c20" to /etc/default/grub and ran update-grub and did a reboot.
After installing all the KVM/QEMU/Virt-Manager packages I created the following Windows11 Home 22h2-VM:

When I try to install the GameReadyDrivers (tested with 528.24 and 528.49) I get the error message (translated from german) “This graphics driver is not compatible with this Windows version. The graphics driver could not find a compatible graphics hardware.”
How can I find the reason for that inexpressive error message?
Are there any logs available from the installer?
Thanx for any hint! :-)
