Hi everyone, I have a workstation machine that houses all my drives. It used to be my NAS but now that I upgraded the motherboard, CPU and RAM, and moved to a smaller office, I need to be able to make that machine work more for me, with less hassle. TrueNas SCALE was a godsent when I heard about it, but I have not been able, so far, to make it work for my (very simple) use case.
I would like to run a VM with GPU passthrough (there are 2 discrete GPUs in my machine, on top of the integrated graphics used by the console output). I would also like to passthrough my USB3 PCIe card to that VM. I can also definitely settle on a Ubuntu VM (rather than dealing with the complications of Nvidia on Windows VM). I can't seem to figure out what is wrong in my configuration and there is simply not much options that should go wrong but still I was not able to get the VM to properly start with the monitor plugged to my GPU displaying the ubuntu install screen.
On some other tries, I had the VNC display work properly, installed Ubuntu but the GPU would never be detected or displaying anything. Finally on most tries, I just end up with the web interface freezing, then becoming unavailable, and the whole server not responding at all (even when plugging in the keyboard to the ports from the motherboard). The only options is to force power down then restart the server.
I would really like if someone could help me figure out how to provide more information to get a better answer.
Thank you very much.
