    [SOLVED] Does proxmox still offer a fully free version?

    No worries and nobody flames you :) It's easy to be confused, that's why I've opened this thread in the first place, I was in the same position. And kudos for providing a sample proposal of the way it could look, I'm certain the team will took this into consideration.

    [SOLVED] Does proxmox still offer a fully free version?

    @Ruprecht I believe @proxuser addressed your points. The only difference between the absolutely free and the paid-for community version is that the latter provides you with access to the enterprise repos. Perhaps the paid-for community license could be renamed to "base / base license" in order...

    [SOLVED] Does proxmox still offer a fully free version?

    @Ruprecht, I have been operating proxmox for 10 years without a subscription. Still using it today and I'm gonna buy the small business subscription for one of our work servers running proxmox. No, you don't have to buy it! You can stay on the free version, like I and a lot of people over the...

    [SOLVED] Enable secure boot on Windows 10 VM

    The efi file is not a partition, even though pve allocates it as a disk. It contains the UEFI settings, like the keys etc.

    DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 on GPU passthrough to LibreELEC VM

    Addendum: the libreelec VM does not start when intel_iommu=on,igfx_off is used. Error: Cannot open iommu_group: No such file or directory Obviously I had to revert to my previous setup containing only iommu=pt. What's driving me crazy is that the issue appears after some videos are played...

    DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 on GPU passthrough to LibreELEC VM

    Tried it, but did not notice any changed in dmesg. Regardless of igfx_off is used, I received the following: .. [ 0.027691] DMAR: IOMMU enabled [ 0.069681] DMAR-IR: IOAPIC id 2 under DRHD base 0xfed91000 IOMMU 1 [ 0.261239] pci 0000:00:02.0: DMAR: Skip IOMMU disabling for graphics ...

    Thanks, I will try that. Shouldn't the kernel complain about an invalid option though?

    IGD GPU passthough issue

    Apologies for reviving this thread, but it might solve my issue in https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/dmar-drhd-handling-fault-status-reg-3-on-gpu-passthrough-to-libreelec-vm.168547/ How did you obtain the GPU BIOS, via GPU-Z or other means? I'm also trying LE as a VM, but after 1-2 hours of...

    DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 on GPU passthrough to LibreELEC VM

    Stumbled upon a thread in Arch forums with a similar issue on a system (no hypervisor), that was solved by modifying GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to "quiet iommu=pt,igfx_off" (basically adding ,igfx_off to the iommu option). Did not solve the issue...

    DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 on GPU passthrough to LibreELEC VM

    I've created a LibreELEC 12 VM, based on an image suitable for Intel N150 graphics and written a howto here: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/29811-x86-64-le-12-as-a-proxmox-vm-with-gpu-pass-through/ Using GPU passthrough I watch Kodi on my television. It works perfectly, until it doesn't...

    Is configuring with fixed memory for Windows-based VMs still an issue?

    Years ago one could create Linux VMs specifying a dynamic memory allocation (ie with a minimum memory setting different from the normal one). This did not work well on Windows VMs. Has this been rectified in recent PVE versions?

    [SOLVED] VM cpu flags usage: which ones should be enabled for max performance and how?

    Re-read what I wrote and indeed does not make sense :D From an admin's point of view the way the toggles are setup one might assume that there is some performance-related consistency. That is if the switch is set to the left (off) performance improves, whereas moving it to the right security...

    [SOLVED] VM cpu flags usage: which ones should be enabled for max performance and how?

    Great information, thank you! A bit confusing is the fact that these flags do not operate in the sense that setting them to off improves performance. For example, the aes option, if I understand correctly will decrease if the flag is set to off. I'll set the following to off: pcid, spec-ctrl...
