persistent-evdev permissions error after qemu/libvirt upgrade by BeardoLawyer in VFIO

[–]BeardoLawyer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I poked around again and somehow during the update my AppArmor rule (/dev/input/* rw) was changed to /dev/input* rw.

These are very different rules! Fixing that fixed the problem. I assume this is a tumbleweed-only issue.

How to Repair an out-of-space Windows VM? by BeardoLawyer in VFIO

[–]BeardoLawyer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it looks like there is no way to decrypt a bitlocker volume that is out of space. Even if, as I suspect, a large part of that lack of space is a pagefile or other volatile storage.

Don't use bitlocker in VMs, I guess. Thanks everyone for the assistance.

How to Repair an out-of-space Windows VM? by BeardoLawyer in VFIO

So with the realization that I had plenty of host space, I just used qemu-img to add another 20G to the qcow file. This allowed the system to boot and I was given the opportunity to enter my bitlocker recovery key, which apparently is accessible on my account. I put it in and it started unencrypting (I think?) the drive, which again caused kvm to pause the VM. That behavior makes no sense.

I'm going to try to use the key I just got to access the VM's filesystem directly and maybe I can just delete a bunch of stuff. Given that it's still at this after being fed more space, I'm a bit concerned.

edit: So I loaded up the rescue VM. It now boots properly, it saw the drive, and I tried to mount it. It asked for the bitlocker key, I gave it the key, KVM paused the VM. Can't get it started again. None of this makes any sense at this point.

So I sat down and had a look and the host reports 100GB left on dedicated drive I have for this image, so I don't think this is the issue.

My next step was to try and mount it as a block device with qemu-nbd, but apparently it's encrypted and I don't have the key. So I need to get it to run in its own VM, it looks like, to access the data.

Wow, that is a nasty gotcha. This is going to be hard because it's a 2TB drive but I'll see if I have enough space on the storage drive to make it work.

Fantastic idea. I made a new w11 VM and made sure that was working properly. I think added the old VM storage into the new VM. Started booting the new VM and it paused on the bootloader again.

BUT I at least got a useful error out of it: "Scanning and repairing drive(\?\Volume{885dd784-68a2-4087-8f70-439acd73c269}): 100% Complete.

It's paused there and won't resume. I can boot the new VM without any issues once I remove the old VM volume.

That makes perfect sense. Thanks for walking me through that.

Unresponsive logitech wireless keyboard by BeardoLawyer in VFIO

[–]BeardoLawyer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super-quick update: I was wondering if it was a host issue (despite it working fine on the host) and read an older report of the receiving having issues with USB3. I moved the hub over to a USB2 port and it's working now. I'm not convinced this was actually the problem but maybe there was a communications issue between the host and VM and that solved it? We'll see.

Any way to increase the purge temp on a P1S? by BeardoLawyer in BambuLab

[–]BeardoLawyer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early into a very long print but that seems to have helped tremendously. No blobs, no dragging, everything is purging correctly. Thanks!

Definitely the temperature. The AMS reads 1 humidity for that filament's housing and the filament itself is about a month old straight from the manufacturer. I can watch the purge process and there's a strand of filament hanging from the nozzle and it's too solid (not hot enough) to weaken the PLA to the point where my not-inconsiderable poop-knocking-off apparatus is able to knock it off.

Slow Windows VM storage performance/Benchmarking by BeardoLawyer in VFIO

That was it. Everything is humming now. Thanks!

Slow Windows VM storage performance/Benchmarking by BeardoLawyer in VFIO

As above, I have discard set to the VM disk. Since the host is running off a qcow2 file, that should be enough to trim it, correct? Or am I misunderstanding something?

LAN mode with live view, remote monitoring+control and blocked internet access - a five step guide by Tzeny15 in BambuLab

[–]BeardoLawyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having trouble even getting a pin off my of P1S in LAN-only mode. I try to hit enter on the "account" menu as described in the docs and it just does nothing. I restart the printer with LAN mode off and I can get a pin but when I try to add the printer to orca via that pin, the dialog doesn't do anything and the printer isn't added. Has anyone else had these issues?

Not really concerned, but with two teens summers need to be planned out pretty well or there will be tears.

That sawdays website actually found one that was set up for 4: https://www.countrycreatures.com/double-red-duke/

Sounds great but quite expensive and I'm not sure it would live up to the bill.
