Hey all,
I’m on the new RC1 testing and I couldn’t get intel_gpu_top to recognize my new GPU (even with sudo).
I’ve pulled it out and went back to my old nvidia for now until I can find more information on this. Do I need to install or do something else in particular? I thought support for ARC was in the kernel now.
They mentioned this on one of the recent T3 episodes - there is ARC support in the kernel, but not for the Battlemage cards. Probably won’t be supported for a while, unfortunately. I think there are some very sketchy experimental things you can try, but they are probably unadvisable.
Yep, that’d be me. AMA, I guess.
The xe driver does exist in the kernel but it’s very immature - mine was segfaulting trying to transcode video - and the Battlemage cards can’t fall back and use the legacy i915 set.
The userland software like intel_gpu_top and ffmpeg also still seems to be missing a few critical pieces to talk to the B-series.
Ah
Thank you for letting me know.
Isn’t this resolved in the latest kernels like 6.14?
It might be, but we’re using the 6.12 LTS kernel in 25.04.
Bottom line: TrueNAS is an appliance OS based on a LTS branch, not a rolling distro.
To rush fror brand new harware as soo as it hits retail is NOT a good idea…
Arc B may get support in 25.10 or 26.04.
