GPU-Passthrough-Arch-Linux-to-Windows10 VS Single-GPU-Passthrough

I'm not sure I'd describe the process as "sane", but I basically did as described in this guide[0], followed by following the setup guide for Looking Glass[1].

I followed this and this guides, and managed to isolate the card. Sadly, every single time i try to install the OS, the system freezes, and is said to be paused by virt manager. I cannot unfreeze it, and i don't know how to troubleshoot it. I also tried to do a normal installation (without passthrough), and it still froze

This is for Arch. But should be doable on any distro.

Here is the guide for Arch Linux just in case if you want to disregard the advice above. The differences amount to a different package manager and a different initramfs generator (so, steps 2 and 3 of that guide become different, and apt should be used instead of pacman). For PopOS, you will need to edit the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file (and just list the needed modules) and run update-initramfs -u -k all.

Hi, My main focus is to use "moonlight host" in the win10 VM, I have an Nvidia 880M (discrete GPU) and the host GPU is a cheap Intel graphic card. I've used this beautiful guide: https://github.com/vanities/GPU-Passthrough-Arch-Linux-to-Windows10 to configure VFIO and libvirtd.

Yes but that's a different kettle of fish. You then don't need two gpus, although if you do it can be useful. Start here and see how deep the rabbit hole goes https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough

Im assuming you're on a single gpu setup and, as such are trying to do single gpu passthrough with a single nvidia card. so you'll likely have to run some libvirt hooks or smth to run scripts to unbind your gpu once you start your vm. In which case id suggest going through these two guides 1 2 which go over completely passing through your single gpu when you start your vm

Out of curiosity, who is Muta, the video dude, or the guide writer, or someone else? From the GitHub it sounded like running the commands from the guide would create a qemu.d/[VM Name]/prepare/begin/start.sh . If I were to simply create those directories myself, and then script as described in the video, I should be good?

Thanks for the info. Some of these I recognize from a single gpu passthrough project on github that i used on my main rig... https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough
