Thanks for showing the debug.log on the VOD, it made it very easy for me to see where it went wrong after you DMed me about the issue and a fix has already been published! Also about the USB controller passthrough from the bash version, it did nothing as it was meant for a planned integration with QuickEMU which has been shelved for now due to lack of feedback (hence the removal in the Go version, for now hopefully). Libvirt handles USB controller passthrough by default so the question is redundant there, QuickEMU does not handle USB Controller passthrough, hence the question in the bash version, which was a proof of concept version that also created an "example" config for QuickEMU. The Go version is a lot more maintainable compared to the bash version which relies on a lot of fancy grep and perl/sed usage and piping. However i suspected someone would rather have the bash version, so i made a snapshot branch of the last bash version on the github page (and it also has the same bug you found in this VOD) PS: bash version never asked about passing through nvme, that is handled in virt-manager, the only difference between the 2 versions is that the bash version asks about what usb controller to pass through, but does nothing with that information other than write an example file for QuickEMU. other than that they are identical and the code is identical under the hood.

Unfortunately, I ran Quickpassthrough 2.0.2 on my Arch Linux install, and it broke my bootloader. I tried to follow Titus' steps to fix the broken MKINITCPIO but was unable to mount my partitions because for some reason the mount point does not exist. My Arch Linux is currently sitting on an NVMe Drive called nvme0n1 in lsblk. The drive only has 2 partitions, and i'm having trouble getting them mounted properly. I tried to follow Chris' steps in the video but he has 3 partitions in his boot drive so I am at a loss. I'm at the verge of calling it quits and just sticking to Windows because I really suck at this. If anybody can help lend me a hand that'll be great. Sorry @HikariKnight but your quick passthrough software is still causing issues.

@@HikariKnight when I ran the command to install the .tar file it gave me a message that I needed to add “iommu=pt intel_iommu=on” to the grub.cfg. Afterwards I ran the file again for quickpassthrough, rebooted the system and then Arch just froze on startup. It would freeze at the grub boot loader. I hope this makes sense to you, sorry for being a newb at this. I really enjoy Chris’ videos and your work on the passthrough is awesome.

I just started to get into windows virtualization, what a coincidence to get ultimate "walkthrough" on setting it all up correctly
This works much better for passing through pci-e ssds
This is my dream setup thank you Chris
Watching you on QEMU VM with pci-e devices passed through :)
Greetings from the UK. I take it you video title wasn't click bait, it was just sarcastic. ;) It took me 3 days to get mine working. I had GPU pass through with looking glass. And then I too broke my Windows installation, and then I watched your video. Thanks, made me laugh and cheered me up. :)
Love this kind of content. To be more educational for me i need more "explanation" (in many cases) , but anyways, love this content😊
thanks for this I been working on this myself
you're so helpful, i love your windows utility, i use linux fulltime but i have friends and family i help with thier comps lol almost all windows and your utility is so nice lol
i love you man love you setup bytheway
great stream
Just saw you break the system with quickpassthrough and remember that yesterday went with an error on openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE plasma 6 update. Thank God for creating the BTRFS file system and Snapshot. I'm getting too old for boot error on Linux.

they suck cuz then you gotta pull out your phone and copy commands and stuff manually
I had to use this since I moved to Linux moving away from MS office was not an option for me, but I wonder why you need baremetal I now have about 20 vms, everything I need, you can do things with windows you really can't do in baremetal you can make open and close windows like you open and close a browser, i also have a shared storage between the VMs, gpo auto bootstrap of all the apps i need, it is a beauty
im doing Windows 11 vm on virt manager using a laptop, and it's really good to try for you want to using windows for gaming and using linux as daily driver :). Im doing gaming like honkai star rail , genshin impact and editing video from vm using looking glass with hdmi dummy for low latency remote desktop from linux, and it's really good project so far. Maybe i want to try using quick passthrough next time. So far im doing with mutahar guides and really good setup until now. Hopefully you can continue this Qemu VM setup for another stream Chris.

genshin you can run on linux just fine, unless you have the nvidia gpu configured to vfio only. Do you have dynamic boost working on vm tho?

me personally have to configure on linux for giving 2 threads to linux and 10 threads to windows, it's run flawlessly. turbo boost automaticly active on linux sometime@@asunavk69
I haven't seen the whole video yet, but pinning the CPU cores in pairs is also something you should do if you are to play games on Windows.
Really looking forward to the Nvidia GPU passthrough. Great job with Lxappearance, i had the same problem on my KDE, i'll apply lxappearance as well. Can you go painfully slow on the CPU topology? I *think* i have 12 cores, should leave 2 cores for my host Linux? I *know* i have 18GB memory, could i still give my VMs 16384? Or should i go lower? Can you explain the pools? i have 250GB SSD (that hosts my linux) and a 2 TB spinning platter (that hosts my `/home`, store the qcows on that one or on SSD? That purple text in the XML editor in virt-manager is unreadable, I usually copy it to VScode
hey, it might be just me but i (in the starting) can see some black and grey patterns on the chatterino as of now 0:42 im seeing a creeper in bottom right side, might be cuz of bit rate thingy, dont really know just guessing
You Should Use Ly as You Display Manager!
i gave up on single passthrough, i just use the amd graphics for linux and then passthrough the nvidia card to windows instead, and then when windows shutsdown it hops back onto nvidia. other than that vming windows whole drive seems a good way to do it.
If you pass-through the hard drive like this with windows install, does this mean you could boot directly to windows on the pc or use the same windows install as a vm?
and some time i'm in linux they think i'm in windows 😂
I basically only use displayport, but not for the projector though, it's hdmi.
I wonder if this setup is possible in nixos, specially with single gpu passthrough
trying to install virt-manager on kali (yes i know u named it useless distro) came to know they removed the package from their repo i checked on Debian repo its also remove from testing repo is there a chance it may be removed from debian repo also edit: it is remove due to a bug it will soon be in the repo
The “System of Systems”.
Not sure I understand the connection between the lack of SD trim and corruption. Trim is for blocks no longer used according to the OS. I agree that NTFS sucks as a filesystem
Why did I have to re-subscribe to your channel? I have had to re-subscribe to a bunch of channels lately. "/ Oh! Because this wasn't Chris Tech Talks.
when the windows vm is not used, I'm assuming the GPU is available to the host system?
Followed your setup, just divided it by 4 because your CPU and RAM is like 4 times bigger than mine lol
please bro if can you find way to linux to linux passthrough a nvidia gpu in short will there ever be vfio drivers for linux just like windows iso
There is also a Single GPU passthrough technique. Can you try it ?

Hello. I Love your Videos. Can this run World of Warcraft though?
YA ! F@*% ADOBE PHOTOSHOP!!!!! Only reason I don't have Debian as my main system , Dream setup doing GPU passthru for windows VM !
Diabolical! Muahaha
What reason for VM if you passthrough almost everything ? Maybe i'm stupid but i don't get a reason...
There's a way to make this work with single-GPU?
Que loucura, melhor usar Windows e instalar o VirtualBox, pra que toda essa trabalheira!
Good thing I didn't follow along with Chris on this one.
Nvidia Linux to Linux pass through? Why? Its ultimate solution for the distro hopping problem
I don’t have much respect for any “expert” that says: “That’s never going to happen!”.
windows is the best linux distro.
Why
HDMI rant was so deserved
