Esxi running macos For selur

[Adamcarter]

Even if there was not enough data space creating the snapshot should abort and not destroy the existing vm. :/
So in ~2hrs I should be back at a clean Mac OS.

This may be a bug in 6.7u3. 
That may have been fixed in 7.0

But i have no experience with 7.0. Also the macos script unlocker needs to be updated Using the newer 3.0.1 and again i have never used it.
Also the 6.7 serial doesn’t work to get full processor core access.

We could try proxmox which is an opensource equivalent of vmware. With supposed improved gpu support. 
I assume the steps are similar
Create a bootable usb with installer, install on a usb key 
Create a new vm, pick the mac iso and away ya go. 

I think in the future i may test it out, but i have used vmware for ages. And will probably try esxi 7 before i try proxmox as it supposedly has improved gpu support.

Let me know if you find a better version/way.

Let me know if you find a better version/way. 

Will do.

Okay, to be sure there is enough space for a full backup I shutdown the vm server, added a 480GB drive I had lying around (from a system where the mainboard died a while ago) to it and extended the current datastore with it to ~670GB (~110GB used for the Mac VM).
Then I created a snapshot and tried to start the VM and ... it died again.
-> okay, snapshots simply don't work with this setup. Setting up Mac OS again,...

[Adamcarter]

Hmmmm.
Frustrating

I will try looking for an answer. In the meantime no snapshots.

I can recommend backup software

When i click to "Filter view" checkbox i see pop-up warning meassage "setButton called with icon or button as nullptr!"
Same time Filter view (dual view mode) seems works well.

Anime4KCPP works on CPU. But seems something broken with my GPU support

Waifu2x NCNN Vulkan works with GPU ID: 0 (seems that is very heavy filter and rather slow even on GPU)

DotKill R2 works (seems R2 is also 8-bit only filter)

Meatwad stated problems with gpu likely when working with anime4k , not a hybrid issue.

Yes waifu2x vulkan is slow even for gpu, not a hybrid issue.

There's a nice little file included called "INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS" that clearly states you need to place the dependency in the Library folder.

[shijan]

Seems my mistake. I simply didn't install that version of Waifu2x filter because you noticed that it is way slower than Vulcan. I read the instructions
