We've moved to the newly-stable 4.20.0 branch. There are also other changes:

  • stubdom is fixed by disabling the vtmp and vtpmmgr components. This gets rid of a few source files and our remaining patches.
  • Debug files are only removed if the debug option is not set in makepkg.cfg (or the PKGBUILD itself)
  • pygrub has been removed
  • optdepends are adjusted for the upcoming xen-grub split package for the various Xen flavored builds.

If you're still using pygrub note that it is deprecated. The solution is to build PV grub instead, which used to be in AUR but is now missing. I am asking a couple questions on the mailing list, and I intend to put my current build of xen-grub (which supersedes xen-pvhgrub) on AUR as soon as possible. If you need to build it before that occurs, you can find it in my PKGBUILD repo.

EDIT: 4.20.0-2 adds support for the xen-edk2 package, which has a fixed UEFI for xen

As of today, I pulled this package down and built it with no problems.

Ok, just released an update - quick changes: added a pre_remove section to handle stopping and disabling systemd services before the package is removed. Also added the latest XSA patches (security advisories) Note: for anyone who was looking into gfx passthrough with a plain nvidia gtx card, I'd suggest checking out the archives at http://www.davidgis.fr/blog/

It looks like xenstored (and the other services, too) isnt getting disabled when you uninstall xen. It produces log outputs since the service isnt available anymore.

I personally haven't tried recently - when I first started to play with gfx passthrough some initial research showed that GeForce cards & drivers didn't really like to be virtualized, so I picked up the Radeon 6770, used the GeForce 550 Ti for my dom0 and passed the 6770 through to Windows. This was several months ago now, and I ended up switching out the 550 because the Nvidia binary drivers didn't like to be run under dom0 either. My lab server doesn't currently support IOMMU so can't test easily if thats changed. I have been watching some developments of people modifying their GeForce cards to pretend to be Quadro cards (Quadros have much better virtualization support) and their stories appear to be mostly successful - examples would be http://www.davidgis.fr/blog/index.php?2013/09/18/969-xen-430-vga-passthrough-gtx-480-soft-moded-to-quadro-6000 and http://www.altechnative.net/2013/09/17/virtualized-gaming-nvidia-cards-part-2-geforce-quadro-and-geforce-modified-into-a-quadro-higher-end-fermi-models/ (note: newer GeForce mods require hardware changes, earlier can be done by flashing a modified bios)

kantras: thank you for taking this on! I tried to get gfx passthrough (PCIe passthrough of a NVidia GeForce 660 card) working a few months ago and failed. Do you have pass-through working for an NVidia GeForce card currently or recently? (This is off-topic so if you want to take it to email, please feel free to email me.)

Ok, the latest v4.3.0-5 version has been uploaded. If anyone needs the 4.2 version, that should be still available via the previous link (and I can backport fixes if still needed)

@ironicbadger: This is a known issue when dealing with passing through ATI graphics cards - the graphics card isn't reset and the graphics drivers don't do it either. There has been success when using an Nvidia Quadro card (or a GeForce which has been modified to look like a Quadro - the Nvidia Quadro drivers are better designed for handling virtualized environments) I'm also watching some discussion on the xen-devel list about other ways this could be tackled but nothing available there yet.

I had offered, we just hadn't been around at the same time to be able to transfer :)

shanmu commented on 2013-09-28 21:05 (UTC)

Kantras, please take ownership :)

karol_007 commented on 2013-09-28 11:45 (UTC)

shanmu isn't very active with this package, kantras, have you thought about maintaining it? Your PKGBUILD fixes at least some bluez v. bluez4 issues: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1330200#p1330200
