My way of doing single gpu passthrough the simplest way, I've gathered many sources together to make the perfect Single GPU passthrough guide the simplest and easiest way.
DISCLAIMER: This guide is pretty similar to many other single gpu guides, I am not trying to copy them nor take their credits, This guide is combining them all together for a better more fluid guide, this way you can use the scripts on all display-services and both amd/nvidia gpus (there might be some anomalies)
- Go to this url https://gitlab.com/risingprismtv/single-gpu-passthrough/-/wikis/1)-Preparations
- and follow steps 1-6, you could follow the rest of the guide but I believe my way is a bit more efficient and works more of the time..
- clone my repo and and copy the hooks folder to /etc/libvirt/
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/wabulu/Single-GPU-passthrough-amd-nvidia.git
cd Single-GPU-passthrough-amd-nvidia/{Nvidia/AMD} depends on which graphics card you have
sudo cp -r hooks/ /etc/libvirt
Now that the hooks folder is in the right place you are going to change the kvm.conf file to match your setup.
to do this you first need to write:
sudo lspci -nnk
It should spit out something similar to this:
you need to look for your gpu and audio pci number and change it accordingly in the kvm.conf file, for this all you have to do is write:
sudo nano /etc/libvirt/hooks/kvm.conf
(reminder: you start writing the numbers after pci_0000_{your numbers} and all dots should be replaced with _)
Now all you need to do is:
sudo systemctl restart libvirtd
Next we will need to make the scripts executable, you can do that with the 3 line below.
chmod +x /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu
chmod +x /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu.d/win10/prepare/begin/start.sh
chmod +x /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu.d/win10/release/end/revert.sh
If you did everything right you can try running the vm (make sure it's named win10 otherwise make sure the folder win10 in /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu.d is named accordingly) nvidia users might also want to go to the url mentions at step 1 and follow the rest.
