getting this warning in the logs now when i restart whisper. I verified avx is enabled in the bios. I never got this before and i've tried everything to reset it.
#AVX Warning from whisper
viscid bobcat
my assumption is it has something to do with the vm. i didn't change any setting...
what CPU are you suing and what are you using for VM's?
terse wedge
Still vmware atm. Intel i9 11th gen

i havent used vmware in a very long time, but probably on the VM config somewhere you will be able to mess with CPU options and you likely want to change its type to "Host" or something like that
on proxmox it would look like this
that way the VM can use the HOST cpu instruction set directly
terse wedge
Not at home but ill check. Dont remember seeing host though in the options
viscid bobcat
can ensure all the virtualization settings are enabled on the host system too.
treat it as a sign to ditch vmware and join us in the glory of proxmox 🙂
terse wedge
Yes. I wanna get a mini pc and install proxmox on it and put ha on it.
One other thing to note. I had tried my hand at docker desktop and had to enable wsl for terminal. I though it had been one of those things at first because for whatever reason it caused an error in the vm saved state so i had to delete that state.
But after deleting docker and disabling linux for windows none of that fixed it
I just fucking hate windows
viscid bobcat
that could be it, you can only have 1 hypervisor. so when you installed WSL you probably disabled the vmware hypervisor so its switching to using a purely software based virtual system instead of a real hypervisor...
if that makes any sense?
a mini pc with proxmox is definetly the way to go though
terse wedge
Yes it does
viscid bobcat
if you enabled WSL i know virtualbox vomits and tells you off. VMware might just silently do its own thing
terse wedge
Wonder if it isnt best to do a fresh install of vm for the time being
viscid bobcat
fresh vmware install may help it reconfigure itself back to normal setup
terse wedge
It just seems to me after disabling wsl it should have returned to normal
viscid bobcat
the VM itself is probably fine, its just getting loaded without a proper hypervisor
terse wedge
I fucking hate windows
viscid bobcat
lol, yeah any way of running HA or Docker on windows is bad.
stuff is kinda fine for testing/getting your feat wet etc...
but a production setup needs to be on linux
terse wedge
Ok so gonna push the button on a mini pc for ha. However unsure what i need really. I want to run proxmox with ha in a vm and thinking of putting plex on it to with kometa. Ill run whisper on the desktop

i have a post here with my general thoughts on hardware. there is stuff at the bottom about mini pc's
for media centre stuff i recomend looking at jellyfin, its great
terse wedge
Has the Beelink EQ14 gotten better support?
viscid bobcat
its fine as long as you update the kernel. proxmox is based on debian stable so by default i think it still uses 6.1 but theres others in the repo
terse wedge
The other model seems unavailable
viscid bobcat
can check various suppliers, guess it depends where your located though
terse wedge
I wouldnt need a secondary m2 slot tbh. I found the s12 on another site
But performance wise is there really a difference between the 2?
viscid bobcat
not really
theres some videos with more details but realistically n100/n150 are basically the same its just the n150 costs more
terse wedge
Hmm ordered. Reading another thing where some say its best to run ha directly on one of these without virtual to make use of the whole machine. Plus make it easier for usb detection
viscid bobcat
you can definetly run haos directly if you want but realistically the system is overkill for just haos, so running proxmox means you can run other stuff alongside it
usb passthrough is easy enough in proxmox
you can passthrough either a "device" or a "port" in the ui
having proxmox means its easier to reinstall any guest OS too should you need to
but whatever works for you
terse wedge
Even with piper? I get whisper would be slow on it.
viscid bobcat
i run piper on my mini pc without issue, i offload whisper to another system
piper doesnt require too much power
tbh with the "tiny" model whisper runs "okay" on an n100. experience with accuracy may vary though
terse wedge
I tried every size tbh. Every single one below medium sucked
viscid bobcat
yeah i had a simalar experience. i use larrge-v3-turbo and its pretty good most of the time
terse wedge
After i get ha on the mini, im going to try my hand again on the desktop with whisper. When i tried through docker desktop the container kept stopping and restarting Maybe it was due to having ha on the other vm at the same time. My question though is, should i scrap windows all together on the desktop. I was trying the linux container for whisper that most suggest.
It was a crash course figuring out docker tbh.
viscid bobcat
if you can scrap windows then go for it, i use windows on my desktop. primarily because i also use it for gaming and i am not gunna bother dual booting.
however most of my servers are linux including the one I run whisper on.
I know some people have gotten whisper containers working with windows but i havent ever tried.
terse wedge
whats the best way to go about it? i do have some things like icue that need to run, drivepool. wonder if i should load proxmox directly and do a vm of windows?
viscid bobcat
if your wanting to be using applications on this machine directly then proxmox is not the answer
terse wedge
i'm at a lose. getting same avx warning after completely uninstalling and reinstalling virtual box
these settings should be correct
viscid bobcat
check the bios for the intel virtualization tech and vt-d and stuff is switched on
maybe windows just fucked up hypervisors once it used its own for a bit
terse wedge
when i checked bios before for avx it was set to auto, then switched to on but ill check again
viscid bobcat
its probably just windows fucking you over tbh
you could play by its rules and try hyper-v 😛
terse wedge
should i switch to hyper-v in the vm to?
viscid bobcat
you could give it a go
given it started when you were messing around with windows virtualisation stuff i am pretty sure its that messing with stuff
terse wedge
if all else, a windows restore lol

same thing for whisper
viscid bobcat
thats so odd
terse wedge
not sure if this helps but found it from the logs of virtualbox
yea im at a lose lol
for whatever reason the vm isnt allowing it to ha
viscid bobcat
yeah i am at a loss also, i think its just windows acting up though
