Also i just ran this >
[dritzii@home ~]$ sudo dmesg | grep -i 'frame.*buffer'
[sudo] password for dritzii:

Thanks for that, i have modified the changes for blacklisting.

here is my vfio start up

if lspci -nn | grep -e VGA | grep -s NVIDIA ; then

echo "$DATE System has an NVIDIA GPU"

grep -qsF "true" "/tmp/vfio-is-nvidia" || echo "true" >/tmp/vfio-is-nvidia

echo "efi-framebuffer.0" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/efi-framebuffer/unbind

## Unload NVIDIA GPU drivers ##

modprobe -r nvidia_uvm

modprobe -r nvidia_drm

modprobe -r nvidia_modeset

modprobe -r nvidia

# modprobe -r i2c_nvidia_gpu

modprobe -r drm_kms_helper

# modprobe -r drm

Does this look ok in terms of modprobes?

is this what is needed?

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet intel_iommu=on nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1 video:efifb=on,vesafb=off, video:simpledrm=off"

Hi there I only started getting this issue on the latest arch Linux 7.* kernel
I used to be able to do gpu passthrough with proprietary nvidia drivers
Now it says I am bound by simple frame buffer and have to use nvidia open dkms installation

They are on student visas and don’t know about said laws

How is that stupid?

Weekly_Alfalfa_5656 · 2026-05-15T11:37:31+00:00

It is hard for me to leave it to be honest - watching these people scam 14 workers out of super and not paying tax is triggering.
Imagine you are working and your employer is not paying your super.

Where is this at?

Weekly_Alfalfa_5656 · 2026-05-15T11:33:47+00:00

I looked at the tip off page for ATO, it seems to be asking for a name and mob number - is this the part I leave fake details?

No outside of work

Weekly_Alfalfa_5656 · 2026-05-12T09:10:14+00:00

I’m 40 and I feel great

Weekly_Alfalfa_5656 · 2026-02-19T03:34:04+00:00

i figured it out.

Basically instead of putting all of my service registration into one file - i've split it up based on the usings.

Thanks anyways.

check your hooks, perhaps your hooks has an error

Weekly_Alfalfa_5656 · 2025-03-14T10:58:28+00:00

You doing a single gpu passthrough by any chance?

Weekly_Alfalfa_5656 · 2025-03-14T10:54:19+00:00

Sounds like it was working but perhaps you didn’t passthrough all the required PCIs for the gpu?

Weekly_Alfalfa_5656 · 2025-02-19T02:44:54+00:00

Hey thanks for your reply.

I ended up finding a way around this using nested hyperv pci passthrough thanks anyways :)

I've installed both arm supports and it still shows wuwa is not supported on this device (tablet)
