#

ok

#

so have you mounted the ISO yet

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

ok so looking at this im pretty sure it is already mounted

#

unless im looking at the wrong thing

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

that seems right to me

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

that's how it was, iv'e made no changes

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

check boot order rq

#

under boot options i think

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

#

should I check the cdrom? that's the one with windows mounted

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:23 PM

#

yeah

#

and also check enable boot menu

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:23 PM

#

should I leave sata disk 1 checked?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:23 PM

#

yeah but move it below the cd

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:24 PM

#

alright done

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:24 PM

#

aight good

#

now give it a boot

#

see if u can get into the installer

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:24 PM

#

do I press escape still or let it boot normally?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:24 PM

#

escape where

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:25 PM

#

in the video she presses escape when it turns on, and then types exit and selects the dvd rom

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:25 PM

#

ion think u needa press escape

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:25 PM

#

ok

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:25 PM

#

but yeah u do wanna exit outta that shell

#

then it should bring up the boot menu

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:26 PM

#

right yeah, did that and I picked the dvd rom

#

and It still just flashes without booting

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:28 PM

#

dafuq

#

ur sure this iso works right?

#

cuz i rly have no idea why else it wouldnt be booting

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:29 PM

#

same iso I have on my windows partition, and this iso works on the boxes vm

#

is it because im using that weird bios she picked?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:30 PM

#

tianocore?

#

nah thats needed

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:30 PM

#

no uh

#

this

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:31 PM

#

yeah thats just the ovmf shit

#

if theres another option in that with uefi you can try that but i doubt this is the problem

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

there was like 4 options

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

can you list them

#

idk if u can ss it since its a gtk dropdown

#

prolly not

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

I think id have to make a fresh vm cause the drop down isn't there anymore

#

but i'll do that

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:33 PM

#

you can still change it but in the xml

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:33 PM

#

oh

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:33 PM

#

try going through the new vm creation thing real quick just to see the options and cancel the creation

#

or just recreate the vm, up to you

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:34 PM

#

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:35 PM

#

ah i see its all edk2

#

so yeah the one you have already should be correct

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:36 PM

#

idk what else I could have messed up, my qemu config matches the instructions and so does my whatever other configs there were, I went back and checked everything that was done, and my iommu is enabled

#

it was the bios

#

if I pick the default bios option it works

#

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:39 PM

#

hmmm thats pretty weird

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:39 PM

#

is there any downside to me just using "bios" instead of the one she did?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:39 PM

#

yeah it wont work with bios

#

the passthrough i mean, not the vm

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:41 PM

#

that's weird af, is there a way I can just get a working bios or figure out what's wrong with this one?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:42 PM

#

ye it is pretty weird

#

ur system is fully updated right

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:42 PM

#

no, some updates came out a few hours ago I haven't gotten yet, but it's up to date as of yesterday

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:43 PM

#

that should be fine then

#

it doesnt seem like there are any other ovmf loaders in the repos

#

only edk2

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:44 PM

#

and since it boots off the default bios setting that means I didn't mess up anything else right?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:44 PM

#

i would assume so yeah

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:45 PM

#

junior flume only edk2

is edk2 something I can just download and put in a folder somewhere?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:45 PM

#

its alr installed

dawn badge Sep 15, 2022, 2:46 PM

#

you could just do this as well

#

@shadow shuttle please help!!!11!oneone

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:46 PM

#

yeah thats what i was trying

dawn badge Sep 15, 2022, 2:46 PM

#

(that's what userbyte wanted)

#

oh maybe it's a hu thing here? I just assumed anyone could tag?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:47 PM

#

nah its not lol

#

i just didnt think the ping would go through in here

dawn badge Sep 15, 2022, 2:47 PM

#

pulsar canopy

your kvm options look so pretty, mine look so bad

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:48 PM

#

looks like nordic to me

dawn badge Sep 15, 2022, 2:48 PM

#

#

look how nice their menu looks in comparison

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:48 PM

#

yeah my theme gives it weird icons

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:48 PM

#

aaaaaaaaaaaah

#

i just joined and you flash me with a light mode

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:48 PM

#

dawn badge

thats just default adwaita and i think it looks fine

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:49 PM

#

shadow shuttle i just joined and you flash me with a light mode

ok so basically ill sum up whats going on so you dont have to read back

#

the ISO just wont start when using UEFI mode

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:49 PM

#

weird

dawn badge Sep 15, 2022, 2:49 PM

#

windows ISO?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:50 PM

#

it is mounted, and they are selecting dvdrom in the boot loader

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:50 PM

#

dawn badge windows ISO?

yeah

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:50 PM

#

what would it say?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:50 PM

#

it just flashes black and reverts to the bootloader as if the ISO has nothing on it

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:50 PM

#

have they tried booting directly from the uefi firmware of the vm?

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:50 PM

#

junior flume it just flashes black and reverts to the bootloader as if the ISO has nothing on...

have a vid of it?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:51 PM

#

i can probably recreate it quickly

#

its the same behavior that happens when it tries to boot a disk with nothing on it

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:51 PM

#

I can get a video

#

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:52 PM

#

shadow shuttle have they tried booting directly from the uefi firmware of the vm?

yeah thats whats not working i think

#

the boot menu appears after the tianocore shell exits so id assume its the firmware

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:53 PM

#

pulsar canopy

it looks like it can see the disc's existence perfectly fine so i highly doubt its a mounting issue

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:53 PM

#

have they tried a different iso?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:53 PM

#

the ISO works in normal BIOS mode

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:53 PM

#

pulsar canopy

the iso does work with a different bios

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:53 PM

#

and apparently on boxes and real hardware

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:54 PM

#

this iso is the latest just from microsoft's site it's not custom or off of 4chan or some weird shit

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:54 PM

#

yeah i assumed that by the file name lol

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:54 PM

#

lol

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:56 PM

#

pulsar canopy

choose a different one
the one withour secureboot or csm
and is 64bit

try that one cus that's what i always use on my vms

#

see if it works

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:56 PM

#

shadow shuttle choose a different one the one withour secureboot or csm and is 64bit try that ...

does it work with the gpu passthrough?

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:56 PM

#

yes it's uefi

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:56 PM

#

if its uefi it should yeah

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:56 PM

#

ok lemme see

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:56 PM

#

these are all OVMF-supporting images in your list

#

wait

#

i found the issue

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:57 PM

#

what is it?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:57 PM

#

pulsar canopy I think id have to make a fresh vm cause the drop down isn't there anymore

#

ia32

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:58 PM

#

32 bit

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:58 PM

#

you are trying to use a itanium 32 bit bootloader

#

i dont even blame you for choosing that one its literally a 5 character difference in the file name

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:58 PM

#

OHHHH FUCK WHY

#

ok would this one work? it's 64

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:58 PM

#

junior flume you are trying to use a itanium 32 bit bootloader

perhaps the uefi option defaults to that which is why

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:58 PM

#

thats the one you want

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 2:59 PM

#

pulsar canopy ok would this one work? it's 64

yes

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:59 PM

#

I just picked the same one that she did quite litterally without reading it

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:59 PM

#

understandable

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 2:59 PM

#

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 2:59 PM

#

holy shit

#

finally

#

now just run through the install, let it reboot itself a few times, then unmount the iso

#

then you should get put into OOBE

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:01 PM

#

it uh did some weird stuff

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:01 PM

#

such as?

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:02 PM

#

I picked the dvd rom and it kept saying press esc to boot from a dvd or whatever, and now it says guest not running, I got distracted with something really important right when i booted it so im not sure I saw it all properly

#

#

yeah kept saying this after picking it

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:03 PM

#

oh that should be fine

#

jus hit a key

#

while the vm has keyboard focus

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:04 PM

#

uh, also sorry if my music is loud lol

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:04 PM

#

hit a key

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:04 PM

#

oh instead of enter

#

whoops my bad

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:05 PM

#

press enter on the thing

#

then hit a key when it says "Press any key to boot ......"

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:05 PM

#

did that, then it spun the windows logo for a bit then guest not running

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:06 PM

#

it just stops after the windows logo part?

#

doesnt say anything at all?

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:07 PM

#

just crashes and does guest not running, lemme get a better recording

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:07 PM

#

aight

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:08 PM

#

it also just freezes my pc a slight bit as it crashes, and I just running out of ram or something?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:09 PM

#

pulsar canopy

dafuq

#

thats very strange

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:09 PM

#

pulsar canopy it also just freezes my pc a slight bit as it crashes, and I just running out of...

how much ram you got?

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:09 PM

#

16gb

#

I gave the vm 8

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:09 PM

#

hmm

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:09 PM

#

mabye my cpu settings are weird?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:10 PM

#

try giving it half the ram it should be fine
and you can always change it once the VM is completely setup

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:10 PM

#

ok

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:10 PM

#

and show ur cpu settings aswell

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:10 PM

#

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:10 PM

#

yea looks fine to me

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:11 PM

#

ram fixed it

#

good thing im planning on buying more anyways

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:11 PM

#

dope

#

16 is usually fine especially when running linux

#

you probably just have a lot of cache shit in ur ram

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:12 PM

#

so from here is there any more complicated sutff I gotta do or should it install windows fine and work with my single gpu passthrough?

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:13 PM

#

now that you got into the installer you can probably return to the part in the video where it boots the iso

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:15 PM

#

ok

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 3:32 PM

#

I'm having more problems but I need a break honestly

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

we warned you lol

#

its quite the process to get working

dawn badge Sep 15, 2022, 3:48 PM

#

junior flume its quite the process to get working

I think there are specific discords for gpu passthrough because it's so difficult?

bright cradle Sep 15, 2022, 3:58 PM

#

What was the last stand?
Did you get it to work?

dawn badge Sep 15, 2022, 4:00 PM

#

bright cradle What was the last stand? Did you get it to work?

the last message as them saying they're taking a break

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

junior flume we warned you lol

The thing now is I can't remove the desktop spices

#

Which is required to get the gpu pass through working

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

you cant remove the display thing?

#

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 5:09 PM

#

junior flume you cant remove the display thing?

Nope, gives me an error

#

And when I try to remove it from the xml I also get an error

shadow shuttle Sep 15, 2022, 5:13 PM

#

what's the error?

#

make sure the vm isnt running btw

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 5:14 PM

#

I'll show you guys when I get back home

#

I got dragged into something

junior flume Sep 15, 2022, 8:04 PM

#

hmm weird

#

what does it say under the details thing

#

oh wait i think i know what it is

#

you need to remove this first

pulsar canopy Sep 15, 2022, 8:29 PM

#

junior flume you need to remove this first

ok, lemme remove that real quick

#

it let me remove channel spice, but I still get the same error when removing display spice
