H3+ GPU Driver Debian 11 (bullseye)

[hyp]

Hi there,
I purchased a h3+ for nas usage and emby as media server with debian as system (debian because very stable and on long run better for upgrading to newer version). The UHD GPU isnt recognazied by system automaticaly.
Can someone provide me a link/howto for intalling the driver or do i have to wait for debian 12 with newer kernel version?

Thanks for helping!

Are you using x11 or wayland? What do you mean by the gpu isn't recognized?

Show us lsmod output as well.

Server is headless, want to transcode with gpu. Allready installed xserver-xorg-video-intel package

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

Code: Select all

tty

no xserver or wayland?!

lsmod

Code: Select all

According to this, for N6005 you may need a kernel higher than 5.15 to use hardware encoding: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admin ... eleration/

Ok, then I have to wait until Debian 12 or use a backport kernel. Anyway thanks for your help!

[fvolk]

just checked, Debian 11 has currently kernel
Linux 5.10.0-19-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.149-2 (2022-10-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux

A modern kernel detects the H3 something like:

Ok, then I have to wait until Debian 12 or use a backport kernel.

In these cases I compiled my own kernel.

Might be a stress test for the CPU as well
Bookworm will get a useful temperature after January 2023.

Server is headless, want to transcode with gpu. Allready installed xserver-xorg-video-intel package\

Recently looked into Intel hardware video codecs on my H2 running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.0-52-generic x86_64)

To see if debian will support hardware video decoding maybe this will help

1)

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install vainfo intel-media-va-driver ffmpeg

2) If you want to test non free codecs install this as well

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install intel-media-va-driver-non-free 

3) By default a standard user does not have access to video resources so it needs to be added (your user to both video & render groups) eg:

Code: Select all

$ sudo usermod -aG video brad
$ sudo usermod -aG render brad

NOTE: Ensure you restart you ssh session to pick up groups

4) Check supported VA-API video profiles

Code: Select all

$ vainfo

4) Download a test video

Code: Select all

$ wget http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4

5) Test using defaults (confirm if vappi is used - in my case on H2 no)

Code: Select all

$ ffmpeg -v verbose -threads 1 -i BigBuckBunny.mp4 -f null - -benchmark

6) Retest with vaapi hardware option enabled

Code: Select all

$ ffmpeg -v verbose -hwaccel vaapi -threads 1 -i BigBuckBunny.mp4 -f null - -benchmark

[hyp]

Thanks for your howto. Sadly didnt work. Think debian 11 is to old for proper support. Will wait until soft or hard freeze and upgrade to bookworm. It looks like the new kernel version will be 6+

[mad_ady]

Thanks brad! I've tried your instructions and on H3+ (with ubuntu 22.04) I get about 154 fps with software encoding (for a 720p video), with one cpu core loaded at 100%. With hardware encoder I get 194 fps with low cpu usage. But my system isn't idle at the moment (I'm in a teams meeting that uses about 30% cpu), so my numbers may be irrelevant.

I wonder if the browser (and various electron apps) use the hardware decoder...

Interesting, I haven't tested with a screen on the H2+. I'm using it for zoneminder (https://zoneminder.com/) in headless setup with 2 camera's (2k network & 960p usb).

a load of 1.4 for capturing both camera's and analyzing the stream for motion detection. If I stream the 2k via a browser in full resolution adds a load of 1 to so total of 2.4 load.

I need to buy myself a H3

I will test out chrome / chromium and firefox acceleration this weekend if I can

Debian always has something called "backports" you simply have to activate the repository:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/apt/sources.list| grep backports
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-backports main contrib non-free

There you will currently find Kernel 6.0.3 which you can easily install (and keep up to date with)

Code: Select all

apt install -t bullseye-backport linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64

I'm using this on my work laptop and other devices as well:

Code: Select all

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release:	11
Codename:	bullseye
$ uname -a
Linux ... 6.0.0-0.deb11.2-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.0.3-1~bpo11+1 (2022-10-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux

The backports repository offers updates drivers, and applications normally not available.

I have H3 (BIOS 1.11).
I tried Debian 12 (Bookworm), without desktop environment with kernel 6.1.0:
[ 0.000000] Linux version 6.1.0-9-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-12 (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.40) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.27-1 (2023-05-08)

Everything seems working until I unplug HDMI cable when it immediately freezes and whole device is unable to reboot (power and reset button doesn't work), also all LEDs are off.
When I boot with HDMI cable unplugged, few seconds after system boots, it freezes and I need to unplug power.

This is in dmesg: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes
- maybe it's relevant.

I had the same issue some time ago (viewtopic.php?p=363327&hilit=[drm]+Cann ... 50#p363327) when I was on Debian 11 with kernel 5.19.0-0.deb11.2-amd64 and then I changed m.2 SSD to SATA SSD and kernel to newer: 6.0.0-0.deb11.6-amd64 and this problem was gone.

[odroid]

I can't reproduce the issue while I've daily used Ubuntu 22.04 stock kernel 5.15 and 5.19 only.

BTW, how did you make HDMI disabled?

When I boot with HDMI disabled, few seconds after system boots, it freezes and I need to unplug power.

[xnd]

Sorry, I said it wrong. Not HDMI disabled, but I mean HDMI cable unplugged. Sorry for that, here it's morning and I had no caffee yet.

[fvolk]

When I boot with HDMI cable unplugged, few seconds after system boots, it freezes and I need to unplug power.

I boot my H3 NAS with kernel parameter
i915.modeset=0
which I think disables the graphics subsystem, which is not needed for a headless server.

Worth a try and see what happens?

[fvolk]

i915.modeset=0
which I think disables the graphics subsystem, which is not needed for a headless server.

Correction: it disables modesetting on Intel (i915), meaning whatever BIOS initialized video (low resolution to surely get video output up), kernel does not reprogram it (to e.g. native max resolution found on connected video connections, which may lead to very tiny fonts on pure text console).
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_mode_setting

[xnd]

Thank you @fvolk, I've added i915.modeset=0 into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX using: sudo nano /etc/default/grub (Now, I have there: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 i915.modeset=0" and then sudo update-grub and reboot. It helped.
Now my H3 is working without freezes after unplugging HDMI or booting headless with HDMI clable unplugged.

[fvolk]

It helped.

Great! - but it was just a guess :-)

I've used this option for some time, if I remember I added it somewhere in the BIOS 80x25 textconsole->UEFI high-res graphics console transition time, which lead to very small text with UEFI. I disabled modesetting for always readable console text and never thought about it anymore, and this is still in my config :-)
