initial arcd deploy failing due to missing introspection-installations.rom

The part that fails is moving the introspection-installations.rom, if you choose not to use any introspection tools (will fail) it will work perfectly well. We will likely deprecate this portion with the release of libvf.io applications.

@matt22207 Are you using Arch? There is a known issue with the line makensis installer.nsi in scripts/install-arch.sh. I think this may be due to a difference between the makensis utility on Arch and the equivalent utility on Ubuntu although I think to confirm this I will need to run a few more test installs on Arch.

[matt22207]

@arthurrasmusson .. I am running Ubuntu.

[arthurrasmusson]

@matt22207 Which version of Ubuntu and LibVF.IO are you on? Also would you mind sharing your motherboard model, CPU vendor and model, as well as your GPU model?

Finally would you mind running this script and sharing the output here?

#!/bin/bash
for d in /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/*/devices/*; do
  n=${d#*/iommu_groups/*}; n=${n%%/*}
  printf 'IOMMU Group %s ' "$n"
  lspci -nns "${d##*/}"
done

All of that information would be very useful in helping narrow the scope of where our problem might reside. Thanks for posting this issue.

@arthurrasmusson .. requested info:

• OS: Ubuntu 21.10 x86_64
• Kernel: 5.13.0-20-generic
• Host: Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model (Early 2020) - RZ09-033 5.04
• CPU: Intel i7-10875H (16) @ 5.100GHz
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Mobile / Max-Q
• GPU: Intel CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics]

I wasn't able to tell in my bios what motherboard this is.

For LibVF.IO version, I cloned the repo on master as of Oct 24.

OS: Ubuntu 21.10 x86_64
Kernel: 5.13.0-20-generic

@matt22207 unfortunately this is the problem. Right now we don't have support for kernel version 5.13 with Nvidia graphics. We can support 5.10 and 5.11, we also have a patch file for 5.12 in the /patches/ folder (https://github.com/Arc-Compute/libvf.io/blob/master/patches/twelve.patch) however we haven't tested that enough to guarantee it works well.
I suggest for now if you want to use LibVF.IO that you install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. We'll try our best to support newer kernel versions in the future. :)

[arthurrasmusson]

I'm going to close this issue since I'm fairly sure this was due to the use of an unsupported kernel version.

[matt22207]

Thanks @arthurrasmusson . Understood about not supporting kernel 5.13 (yet).

That said, can you please clarify why you feel this is related to the kernel? During my initial attempt, I thought this was related to the order of the lines in the install.sh script.

For example, everything works fine if I move the arcd deploy command to be after the mkisofs and cp introspection-installations.rom ~/.config/arc/) .. This is because arcd deploy expects that rom, so you need to generate it first.

Maybe I'm missing something or moving the deploy line down breaks something else, but wanted to get some additional clarification on your thoughts here.

Thanks!
