I'm struggling to disable the VMware SVGA II Adapter in a VM created in VMware ESXi 8.0, where I would like to use only an Nvidia Quadro GPU, provisioned as a passthrough PCI device.
I successfully disable the nouveau driver, and install the nvidia one, but some applications are still using the SVGA as is the first entry ad graphic adapter:
lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D"
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107GL [Quadro P620] (rev a1)
The adapter is still present, even if I've set Host > Management > Advanced Settings > VMkernel.Boot.vga = False
I've even tried to disable the graphic adapter also in the OS, without any success, I'm running Rocky Linux 9.1, and following the same path used to disable nouveau din't works disabling vmwgfx which I belive to be the module related to the VMware SVGA
lspci -vs 00:0f | grep modules
Kernel modules: vmwgfx
Any Idea on how to disable on ESXi VM setting or in the OS?
Thanks!

I'm trying to set up a Raspbian image in VirtualBox 6.1.14 for development. I downloaded the latest .iso from the RPi website, and set up a VirtualBox machine with the OS set to Debian (32-bit). When I mount the .iso and start the machine, I'm able to get through all the installation steps until it gets to the point of configuring the package manager--at that point it freezes in both the text installer and the GUI installer.
I've tried doing this with the network adapter enabled and disabled, which made no difference. Is there a specific configuration to the VM that will get the installation to work?
I am a dum dum. I needed to up the memory on the VM. Below are the pertinent stats for it to work.
OS: Debian (32-bit)
Base Memory: 1024mb
Video Memory: 128mb
Graphics Controller: VMSVGA
Storage: 8gb
I am attempting to use KDE as a gateway server for my environment to support 6-10 users. I have installed KDE with XRDP on a EC2 Redhat 7.4 m4.2xlarge instance. The server has significant graphics lag, with windows stuttering when dragged across the screen, not affected by number of users.
KDE Version:
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.8
Plasma Desktop Shell: 4.11.19
Graphics (Default):
direct rendering: Yes
GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer,
GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer,
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.9, 256 bits)
GL_ARB_conditional_render_inverted, GL_ARB_conservative_depth,
GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_NV_depth_clamp, GL_NV_fog_distance,
GL_OES_element_index_uint, GL_OES_fbo_render_mipmap,
VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446
I am wondering if potentially I need to switch to a different instance type or install updated graphics drivers ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I have a project that requires me to create an esxi server within VirtualBox. Upon creation of the esxi server, i seem to run into the error below when i try to power on a newly created VM within the esxi.
Any idea how to get around this? The VirtualBox infrastructure is running on 2014 macbook pro which supports virtualization.
Have you enabled VT-x option
That's under System > Acceleration > Hardware virtualization
I am trying to install Openstack on a Ubuntu 12.04 guest machine running on virtual box and hosted on a iMac'11. More preciesely, I am trying to install the KVM hypervisor on my Ubuntu guest machine.
My Intel i5 processor supports VT-X, however, when I run
lili#CloudletVM:~$ sudo kvm-ok
I get the following output:
INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
KVM acceleration can NOT be used
Any one can help me enable KVM on my Virtualbox Guest machine, if possible?
Thank you in advance!
You cannot use KVM in Guest OS running in Virtual Box.
In installation step it's clearly indicated this.
Determine whether your compute node supports hardware acceleration for virtual machines:
$ egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
You can use KVM if and only if it returns a non zero value. In your case the above command returns zero. Even though your original hardware supports hardware acceleration, it's unavailable inside virtual box guest OS.
So I recommend use QEMU instead.
Edit the [libvirt] section in the /etc/nova/nova-compute.conf file as follows:
[libvirt]
...
virt_type = qemu
Environment:
Motherboard: Asus P5Q3 Deluxe
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 # 2.33GHz 2.34 GHz
Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00GB
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Scenario:
I am trying to run OpenShift Origin in VirtualBox and when clicking 'Start' I am getting the error:
"VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot".
From my searches on the internet, it seems that such a setting is available in the BIOS however I have been unable to find it.
So I am considering that such an option may not be available on my system?
If this is the case, what options do I have in regards to running OpenShift Origin in VirtualBox?
The specification on the Intel website suggests that your CPU doesn't support hardware virtualization (look for the 'Virtualization Technology (VT-x)' setting):

Hardware virtualization is a requirement for 64-bit guests in VirtualBox, and there is no workaround.
