    [SOLVED] how to make future updates no longer break nvidia.

    this message is really just overhead and not really needed for the thread in the first place; But I felt the need to defend a desktop environment over a server OS like Proxmox. You see, some of us think that root on ZFS should be the default. on any system, any device. period. :) Now that I...

    [SOLVED] how to make future updates no longer break nvidia.

    thank you thank you :) I accept graceful the scouts honers badge :) Nah all jokes aside. Thank you for the response. And yes you were correct. It were the non free nvidia drivers that went haywire after the kernel update. I am still not sure though do I really need them? especially given now...

    [SOLVED] how to make future updates no longer break nvidia.

    The title sais it all. I am once again in a pickle because like a good trooper I hit update when I am told there are available. Especially when it is security related. But what I would like to learn is how to prevent then the nvidia drivers going bad and I can no longer use them. No longer...

    [SOLVED] Are linux headers required or save to delete? Even if they are old

    interesting point. I am running PVE 8.2.7. So I am not sure why I got these updates :( I am unsloving this thread and changing the title to reflect the following question. How do I make sure I am using the latest kernel?

    [SOLVED] Are linux headers required or save to delete? Even if they are old

    after the cups incident I would like to remove as much unneeded stuff as possible. Just now I saw the following (security) updates available Do I need those or are they save to delete? I am running non free drivers though in case that matters.

    [SOLVED] PVE 8.2 zfs now grub? and rescue still not working :(

    marked the thread as solved again. it turns out that my laptop running proxmox 8.2.2 did have secure boot enabled yet somehow the boot process states "booting in insecure mode" Also going forward I will try forcing each new installation of proxmox to use grub rather than systemd-boot

    something like this is what you want to see on the host when you run dmesg | grep amdgpu [ 5.084765] amdgpu 0000:06:00.0: enabling device (0006 -> 0007) [ 5.087448] amdgpu 0000:06:00.0: amdgpu: Fetched VBIOS from VFCT [ 5.087458] amdgpu: ATOM BIOS: 113-CEZANNE-017 ATOM BIOS: ***** And...

    AMD iGPU passthrough won't work

    none of it during your reinstall and getting the amdgpu driver to load correctly on the host. once you have that up and running then it becomes time to think about passing it through

    AMD iGPU passthrough won't work

    in your case it is best to start over. as disabling IOMMU is not required in order to not blacklist or load vfio drivers. So better use a clean slate and document well what you are doing or use a tutorial from proxmox it self like https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI(e)_Passthrough
