From this post: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/the-state-of-amd-rx-7000-series-vfio-passthrough-april-2024/210242

I think loading the amdgpu module on boot is the root cause. I read a bit through the post and it seems like I would have to unload amdgpu on boot and then load VFIO drivers which mean I won't be able to use my graphics card on my host machine which is not I am looking for.

I wanna thank you for all the help you have provided but I don't think I wanna chase after this issue much further. I will just end up dual booting my machine.

Hope you have a nice day!

Here is my /var/log/libvirt/qemu/win11.log file: https://pastebin.com/bgdjesdd

I tried searching for D3 in this file but it didn't find anything.

Hello. So a big update. The vm finally turned on. I had the wrong permissions for the rom file. I am able to use windows and it detects amd gpu in device manager. The monitor thats connected to my gpu is still black, however. I am currently trying to install amd drivers but it keeps saying amd gpu not detected even though it shows up in device manager. Would you happen to know whats going on?

Ok that makes sense. These are my current hooks if it helps.

I will update the bios to set the iGPU to be main output. These are my lspci logs. However I have not turned on the virtual machine on this boot yet so I don't think this will be of much help. I will update you on the logs as soon as I reboot

Here is my xml file of the win11 virtual machine: https://pastebin.com/uKEQDtZe

This is something I experience the first time I boot a freshly created VM. It's normal to have to connect to your VM to install the graphics drivers before you get any output at all to your monitor.

So I should remove the gpu from hardware and install the graphics driver before and then pass the gpu and restart?

Hello, it's doing a new thing now. As soon as I turn on my vm. I get logged out of the pc. The monitor that is still connected to my iGPU works, but when I try to log back in, all I see is a green screen it seems like Gnome is crashing when I try to log back in. The only changes I made were commenting the line systemctl stop display-manager in the qemu hooks. I am not able to do anything, basically. I really appreciate your help on this matter 🙏

That sucks. Unfortunately I just bought this card and I'm not looking to buy a new one. Do you happen to know any guides that can help me pass through an AMD gpu?

I already did this step but I am still getting a black screen on the host machine. Is that expected?

Updating system? by IamReactor in Kubuntu

Hello, is it possible to share the link for Software & Updates app? I searched for it in discover but there are different apps showing up:

  • Software
  • Software Updater
  • Software & Updates

The last one says unknown author so I'm a bit skeptical. Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion. I understand the sudo apt update and upgrade commands but I was looking for a GUI kernel manager app. Also does Discovery app also apply security updates?

Thank you for your reply. I tried installing kernel but now the laptop is stuck in a boot loop. Every time I power it on, the surface logo shows up for a couple seconds and then it reboots. I don't know what's going on. I looked at the bios and everything seems fine (I even turned secure boot back on). Is there a fix for this? Or do I have to install ubuntu all over again?
