    Status

    Resolved in NVIDIA vGPU software 12.1

    3.3. NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver installation fails in Ubuntu guest VMs

    Description

    Installation of the NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver from a .run file fails in Ubuntu guest VMs that are running Linux kernel version 5.8 or later.

    Version

    Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 18.04 with Linux kernel version 5.8 or later

    Workaround

    Revert to a Linux kernel version earlier than 5.8.

    Status

    3.4. NVIDIA Control Panel fails to start if launched too soon from a VM without licensing information

    Description

    If NVIDIA licensing information is not configured on the system, any attempt to start NVIDIA Control Panel by right-clicking on the desktop within 30 seconds of the VM being started fails.

    Workaround

    Restart the VM and wait at least 30 seconds before trying to launch NVIDIA Control Panel .

    Status

    3.5. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops session corruption occurs in the form of residual window borders

    Description

    When a window is dragged across the desktop in a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops session, corruption of the session in the form of residual window borders occurs.

    Version

    This issue affects only Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops version 7 2003

    Workaround

    Use Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops version 7 1912 or 2006.

    Status

    Not an NVIDIA bug

    3.6. Remoting solution session freezes with VGPU message 21 failed and VGPU message 14 failed errors

    Description

    The remoting solution session sometimes freezes while a window is being resized. For a Windows guest VM, the error message VGPU message 21 failed is written to the log file on the hypervisor host. For a Linux guest VM, the error messages VGPU message 21 failed and VGPU message 14 failed are written to the log file on the hypervisor host.

    Workaround

    Try resizing the window again.

    Status

    3.7. On Linux, the frame rate might drop to 1 after several minutes

    Description

    On Linux, the frame rate might drop to 1 frame per second (FPS) after NVIDIA vGPU software has been running for several minutes. Only some applications are affected, for example, glxgears . Other applications, such as Unigine Heaven, are not affected. This behavior occurs because Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) for the Xorg server is enabled by default and the display is detected to be inactive even when the application is running. When DPMS is enabled, it enables power saving behavior of the display after several minutes of inactivity by setting the frame rate to 1 FPS.

    Workaround

    If necessary, stop the Xorg server.

    In a plain text editor, edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to set the options to disable DPMS and disable the screen saver.

    1. In the Monitor section, set the DPMS option to false .
    2. At the end of the file, add a ServerFlags section that contains option to disable the screen saver.
    3. Save your changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and quit the editor.

    Start the Xorg server.

    Status

    3.8. Microsoft DDA fails with some GPUs

    Description

    Microsoft Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) fails with GPUs that have more than 16 GB of GPU memory. After the NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver is installed in the guest VM, a second display device appears on the GPU and the driver prompts for a reboot. After the reboot, the device disappears and the Microsoft Hyper-V Video device appears.

    This issue occurs because less memory-mapped input/output (MMIO) space is configured for the operating system than the device requires.

    Workaround

    Perform this workaround in a Windows Power Shell window on the hypervisor host.

    Set the upper MMIO space to the amount that the device requires to allow all of the MMIO to be mapped. Upper MMIO space starts at approximately 64 GB in address space.

    mmio-space The amount of MMIO space that the device requires, appended with the appropriate unit of measurement, for example, 64GB for 64 GB of MMIO space.

    The required amount of MMIO space depends on the amount of BAR1 memory on the installed GPUs and the number of GPUs assigned to the VM as follows:

    mmio-space = 2 Лџ gpu-bar1-memory Лџ assigned-gpus

    gpu-bar1-memory The amount of BAR1 memory on one of the installed GPUs. For example, in a server in which eight GPUs are installed and each GPU has 32 GB of BAR1 memory, gpu-bar1-memory is 32 GB. assigned-gpus The number of GPUs assigned to the VM. vm-name The name of the VM to which the GPU is assigned.

    The following example sets the upper MMIO space to 64 GB for the VM named mygpuvm , to which one GPU with 32 GB of BAR1 memory is assigned.

    For more information, see Deploy graphics devices using Discrete Device Assignment on the Microsoft technical documentation site.

    Status

    Not an NVIDIA bug

    3.9. DWM crashes randomly occur in Windows VMs

    Description

    Desktop Windows Manager (DWM) crashes randomly occur in Windows VMs, causing a blue-screen crash and the bug check CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED . Computer Management shows problems with the primary display device.

    Version

    This issue affects Windows 10 1809, 1903 and 1909 VMs.

    Status

    Not an NVIDIA bug

    3.10. NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver fails after Linux kernel upgrade with DKMS enabled

    Description

    After the Linux kernel is upgraded (for example by running sudo apt full-upgrade ) with Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) enabled, the nvidia-smi command fails to run. If DKMS is enabled, an upgrade to the Linux kernel triggers a rebuild of the NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver. The rebuild of the driver fails because the compiler version is incorrect. Any attempt to reinstall the driver fails because the kernel fails to build.

    When the failure occurs, the following messages are displayed:

    Workaround

    When installing the NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver with DKMS enabled, specify the —no-cc-version-check option.

    Status

    3.11. Blue screen crash occurs or no devices are found after VM reset

    Description

    If a VM on Microsoft Windows Server with Hyper-V role is reset from the hypervisor host, a blue screen crash (BSOD) occurs on Windows VMs and the nvidia-smi command reports No devices were found on Linux VMs. This issue occurs only on Windows Server 2019 with Tesla T4 GPUs with SRIOV enabled, Quadro RTX 8000 passive GPUs, and Quadro RTX 6000 passive GPUs.

    Workaround

    Contact NVIDIA Enterprise Support for a workaround for this issue, referencing the knowledge base article Workaround for Blue Screen Crashes On Hyper-V DDA With SRIOV-Enabled GPUs . This article is available only to NVIDIA Enterprise Support personnel.

    Status

    Not an NVIDIA bug

    3.12. Publisher not verified warning during Windows 7 driver installation

    Description

    During installation of the NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver for Windows on Windows 7, Windows warns that it can’t verify the publisher of the driver software. If Device Manager is used to install the driver, Device Manager warns that the driver is not digitally signed. If you install the driver, error 52 ( CM_PROB_UNSIGNED_DRIVER ) occurs.

    This issue occurs because Microsoft is no longer dual signing WHQL-tested software binary files by using the SHA-1 and SHA-2 hash algorithms. Instead, WHQL-tested software binary files are signed only by using the SHA-2 hash algorithm. All NVIDIA vGPU software graphics drivers for Windows are WHQL tested.

    By default, Windows 7 systems cannot recognize signatures that were created by using the SHA-2 hash algorithm. As a result, software binary files that are signed only by using the SHA-2 hash algorithm are considered unsigned.

    For more information, see 2019 SHA-2 Code Signing Support requirement for Windows and WSUS on the Microsoft Windows support website.

    Version

    Workaround

    If you experience this issue, install the following updates and restart the VM or host before installing the driver:

    Status

    3.13. Frame capture while the interactive logon message is displayed returns blank screen

    Description

    Because of a known limitation with NvFBC, a frame capture while the interactive logon message is displayed returns a blank screen.

    An NvFBC session can capture screen updates that occur after the session is created. Before the logon message appears, there is no screen update after the message is shown and, therefore, a black screen is returned instead. If the NvFBC session is created after this update has occurred, NvFBC cannot get a frame to capture.

    Workaround

    Press Enter or wait for the screen to update for NvFBC to capture the frame.

    Status

    3.14. RDS sessions do not use the GPU with some Microsoft Windows Server releases

    Description

    When some releases of Windows Server are used as a guest OS, Remote Desktop Services (RDS) sessions do not use the GPU. With these releases, the RDS sessions by default use the Microsoft Basic Render Driver instead of the GPU. This default setting enables 2D DirectX applications such as Microsoft Office to use software rendering, which can be more efficient than using the GPU for rendering. However, as a result, 3D applications that use DirectX are prevented from using the GPU.

    Version

    • Windows Server 2019
    • Windows Server 2016
    • Windows Server 2012

    Solution

    Change the local computer policy to use the hardware graphics adapter for all RDS sessions.

    Choose Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Remote Session Environment .

    Set the Use the hardware default graphics adapter for all Remote Desktop Services sessions option.

    3.15. A segmentation fault in DBus code causes nvidia-gridd to exit on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS

    Description

    On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8 and 6.9, and CentOS 6.8 and 6.9, a segmentation fault in DBus code causes the nvidia-gridd service to exit.

    The nvidia-gridd service uses DBus for communication with NVIDIA X Server Settings to display licensing information through the Manage License page. Disabling the GUI for licensing resolves this issue.

    To prevent this issue, the GUI for licensing is disabled by default. You might encounter this issue if you have enabled the GUI for licensing and are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8 or 6.9, or CentOS 6.8 and 6.9.

    Version

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8 and 6.9

    CentOS 6.8 and 6.9

    Status

    3.16. No Manage License option available in NVIDIA X Server Settings by default

    Description

    By default, the Manage License option is not available in NVIDIA X Server Settings . This option is missing because the GUI for licensing on Linux is disabled by default to work around the issue that is described in A segmentation fault in DBus code causes nvidia-gridd to exit on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS.

    Workaround

    This workaround requires sudo privileges.

    If you are licensing a physical GPU for vCS , you must use the configuration file /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf .

      If NVIDIA X Server Settings is running, shut it down.

    If the /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf file does not already exist, create it by copying the supplied template file /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf.template .

    As root, edit the /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf file to set the EnableUI option to TRUE .

    Start the nvidia-gridd service.

    When NVIDIA X Server Settings is restarted, the Manage License option is now available.

    3.17. Licenses remain checked out when VMs are forcibly powered off

    Description

    NVIDIA vGPU software licenses remain checked out on the license server when non-persistent VMs are forcibly powered off.

    The NVIDIA service running in a VM returns checked out licenses when the VM is shut down. In environments where non-persistent licensed VMs are not cleanly shut down, licenses on the license server can become exhausted. For example, this issue can occur in automated test environments where VMs are frequently changing and are not guaranteed to be cleanly shut down. The licenses from such VMs remain checked out against their MAC address for seven days before they time out and become available to other VMs.

    Resolution

    If VMs are routinely being powered off without clean shutdown in your environment, you can avoid this issue by shortening the license borrow period. To shorten the license borrow period, set the LicenseInterval configuration setting in your VM image. For details, refer to Virtual GPU Client Licensing User Guide .
