====== Issues & Solutions ======

===== Windows 10 =====

==== GPU code 43 ====

Reinstall uninstall and reinstall GPU drivers

==== VM S3 (suspend/sleep) not available ====

Install ''qxldod'' drivers.

==== Slow suspend ====

Disable hibernation: ''powercfg /h off''

==== My IO is too slow ====

[[https://www.nikhef.nl/~dennisvd/lvmcrap.html|Delet LVM snapshots...]]

==== ''virsh dompm{suspend,wakeup}'' does not... ====

Install ''qemu agent'' and ''vioserial'' driver in guest

==== VM crashes when idle for some time ====

Well, disable screen blanking and autosuspend...

==== Audio on PulseAudio ====
[[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/libvirt#PulseAudio]]

  <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
   [...]
   <qemu:commandline>
     <qemu:env name='QEMU_AUDIO_DRV' value='pa'/>
     <qemu:env name='QEMU_PA_SERVER' value='sound.waw.hackerspace.pl'/>
   </qemu:commandline>
  </domain>

==== Audio stutters ====

Change ''Default Format'' from ''16bit 48kHz'' to ''16bit 44.1kHz'' in emulated sound card properties in guest.

==== Shitty IO performance vol. 2 ====

==== Everything's shit ====
Enable "HIGH PERFRORMANCE" power profile.

==== GPU crashes after host resume ====
Seems like keeping QXL enabled on VMs with Radeon GPU passed through fixes GPU crashes on host suspend. (VM needs to be suspended first as well)

==== QXL/Spice display does not automatically resize to client window ====
Install spice guest tools:

===== FreeBSD =====

==== 11.1 ====

=== Hypervisor configuration ===

  * Network: choose bridged. Bridge name: ''br0''.

=== Hypervisor bug ===

There's a problem with the ''Opteron_G5'' hypervisor, which is set by default.

The solution is to replace ''Opteron_G5'' with ''kvm64'' or ''Opteron_G3''.

Also, there is an open bug report for this issue on [[ https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213333 | FreeBSD Bugzilla ]].

Fixed in 12.0.

===== Linux Guests with PCIe Passthrough =====
Use UEFI & Q35 platform model. (re https://forum.level1techs.com/t/fedora-28-pci-e-gpu-passthrough-linux-guest/127161/3)

===== MacOS =====
https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM + ''wieloryb:/storage/common/S*/O*/*.README''

Works perfectly fine, including GPU passthrough.
