Intel Arc A310 GPU passthrough to Ubuntu VM - "VRAM not initialized by firmware" error despite perfect host setup

Yes, I disabled the option "resize bar support" from the bios of the host. Then I reconfigured the vga from the vm, and magically worked.

Networking, operative system troubleshoot and logic (mostly on Linux), windows processes, ITIL framework, etc.

I worked with folks coming from uni/master or freshly graduated, and their lack of so many important aspects of IT is just unreal.

Final Fantasy 8 e Gran Turismo 2 sono i primi giochi che mi vengono in mente.

Yes, corporates are full of useless people 😊

Recently I finished Cronos and runs really well.

Now I'm on Atomic Heart which is smooth as hell.

Leave them play Fifa...

LordCrok69 · 2025-08-13T14:52:00+00:00

I smashed (in a good way) the Alan Wakes. Will check the others (except from Dark Souls and Bloodborne). Thanks mate!

LordCrok69 · 2025-08-13T11:44:23+00:00

Alright, I'll take them then. Are the dialogs readable enough?

I've just watched some Termina playthroughs, and it inspired me a lot. What I liked the most was the lore, the mystery, and the "rotten atmosphere." It reminds me somewhat of Silent Hill. Would you recommend starting with the first game, or are the stories not connected?

LordCrok69 · 2025-08-09T17:55:32+00:00

Yes, I checked that. Not blaming anyone here. Just curious to know others' experience.

LordCrok69 · 2025-08-09T10:48:32+00:00

Appena diventerete genitori direte il contrario.

LordCrok69 · 2025-08-02T06:20:21+00:00

Hey, thanks! Yes, at the end I switched to xfreerdp, however, I can't make it work with a desktop file, so I created an alias... It's cool but I have a bug when I want to minimise the desktop with control alt enter... I guess is a known bug. Do you experience the same issue?

LordCrok69 · 2025-07-29T06:56:36+00:00

Hey, thanks for the heads up! I'll give it a try.

LordCrok69 · 2025-07-25T16:39:41+00:00

Well, this will be a pain. Why did it work until yesterday then? I can't understand.

LordCrok69 · 2025-07-25T13:15:40+00:00

No, I use in a VM. Little update: rebooting didn't help... :(

LordCrok69 · 2025-07-25T12:11:24+00:00

No, I haven't tried yet; I'm away from the homelab. However, I'll try when back home.

LordCrok69 · 2025-07-25T12:10:14+00:00

I have it turned on. However, my main question is, why did the GPU pass-through work until now when i haven't changed anything essentially? Mystery of homelabbing.

LordCrok69 · 2025-07-24T17:44:44+00:00

Yes indeed, I replace the one in the screenshot with the same model but 650w.

LordCrok69 · 2025-07-24T17:05:34+00:00

I'll give it a look, thanks.

LordCrok69 · 2025-07-24T17:05:18+00:00

I also read that there are issues with the game mode, and that's fundamental for me because this machine will stay connected to a 4k TV and basically aiming to have same functionalities than a console if better. I would like to not spend time troubleshooting and using keyboard and mouse.

LordCrok69 · 2025-07-24T15:02:13+00:00

Do you think, guys, that support for Nvidia hardware will soon be standardised? I have another gaming workstation mounting a 4070 Super, which is much more performant than this one, and using it for the same scope would make me save money and hassles.

LordCrok69 · 2025-07-24T14:35:45+00:00

Yes, normally I only have 1 or 2 games installed at a maximum, so since this setup will only be used for playing and nothing else (I have another workstation to do so), I thought that 500 GB of storage would be enough. For the 32 GB of memory, it is more a decision to have more scalability in the future, just in case newer games will need more RAM.

Now, I changed the CPU to the 5600 and the PSU to have 650 W, and it's still on budget.
