I don’t know what to do. I set rd.qubes.hide_pci with the number of my external GPU, but now I can’t boot.
I checked the bios, there’s a property of “Advanced\graphics config”, but there’s nothing I can do there… the “Graphics config” is grayed out and I have only the DVMT Pre-allocated option to set.
I tried to follow this guide https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/create-a-gaming-hvm but can’t even boot now.
Thank you so much!
I removed the grub value and could boot up, but what are my options with the GPU then right now? My laptop isn’t suitable for this then or maybe there’s something I still can do in order to pass the GPU?
I can’t install standalone even without the GPU, it gives me an error.
Do I need to disable some things compare to normal installation, maybe disabling bootloader or something alike?
I tried to install endeavouros, but it gives me an error of: The package manager could not prepare updates. The command pacman -Sy returned error code 1.
Maybe there’s some other better OS to try? Manjaro? Or maybe it’s the installation settings I need to tweak?
I don’t get it… I’m trying with manjaro now, but I have “Limited connectivity” while trying to boot from usb-live.
I did exactly as with endeavouros(I had connection there just fine), but this time with manjaro it connects, but says it’s limited.
I can ping 1.1.1.1 but that’s it, can’t ping anything else nor can go to any website.
Any hints please?
If you are just starting on with Qubes, my recommendation is to start with a standalone from the default templates if that’s possible.
Sadly, I am also not too experienced with Endeavouros or Manjaro…
If you take a default one for now, you can focus on your goal on making a gaming vm and see if it’s possible.
Hopefully, you can then port your solution easily to another os, where you can fully focus on creating a new HVM.
I’ve already did half the way, I think.
I can’t figure out why I’m not getting the Nvidia GPU inside my standalone though.
When I check lspci, I see it, but goverlay doesn’t recognize it and selects Intel’s instead.
Maybe someone could drop a hint why this can happen?
Maybe start a new thread for that question?
You (or I if you can’t anymore) can rename the topic of this thread to something like How to edit GRUB to boot? and you could mark the answer of @apparatus as solution.
I have a laptop with HDMI, this HDMI works even without Nvidia, I don’t have any other option to attach any other display.
I tried two versions, currently using the latest provided by manjaro, it doesn’t display any number on it though, a bit confusing. It just says “video-nvidia” for the name and “2023.03.23” for the version.
