sgx: There are zero EPC sections - qemu

I use i7-8700 and asus tuf z370 motherboard now.
I already changed SGX option to "software controlled"(there are no option "enabled")
I tried to use kvm-sgx following this document
I compiled kernel to 5.0.0 and I checked and changed grub to use 5.0.0+ compiled kernel for kvm-sgx
but when I do
dmesg | grep sgx
It shows sgx: There are zero EPC sections.
How can I solve this problem?

I found that there are support from intel.
In gihub intel/sgx_software_enable repo
You can make and run sgx_enable executable

Errors thrown when trying to run basic.sh in sosumi

I was hoping that you could help me. I've been stuck on this problem for quite a while.
When I try to start up the clover boot loader or run the basic.sh file, I get these errors in the terminal:
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: host doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.sse4.1 [bit 19]

qemu-system-x86_64: warning: host doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.07H:EBX.avx2 [bit 5]
etc.
I have no idea what they mean. Could you please tell me a solution? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling manually. It didn't work and it threw these errors at me again. I followed the instructions in the readme: https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM
Qemu and everything it needs, all the dependencies are installed on my computer.
When I run the clover bootloader, it just shows a bunch of text then brings me back to the menu. I hit enter again. last time i kept ending up in the shell, and I don't know why.
Why does it keep crashing? Could you tell me pls how to fix it?
This is the second time I'm struggling with this, please help.
UPDATE: I tried using this repo: https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM and got the same errors. It's still not working.
The shell script you're running starts QEMU asking it to provide a guest CPU with various features (including SSE4, AVX and AVX2). With KVM, the only way we can give the guest a CPU with a feature like AVX is if the host CPU has it, because we run guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU is warning you that you asked for something it can't do, because the host CPU you're running it on doesn't have those features. QEMU removes the features it can't provide from the set of things it tells the guest about via the CPUID registers.
If the guest OS really needs a CPU with AVX2 and all the rest of it, you need to run on a newer host CPU.
If the guest OS is happy to read the CPUID registers and adjust itself to avoid using features that aren't there, then you could adjust the -cpu options the script is passing to make it request something with fewer features, but all this will do is mean that QEMU won't print the warnings -- it won't change how the guest runs on that kind of CPU.

Why won't DraftSight run on Fedora 26 with Intel graphics?

DraftSight 2017SP1 Linux (beta) worked on Fedora 24. It fails after upgrading to Fedora 26. Running it from the command line so you can see the low-level errors,
/opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux/DraftSight
Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
Could not parse stylesheet of object 0x238a050
Could not parse stylesheet of object 0x238a050
In the graphics environment you see the usual start screens, then error pop-ups which offer to report the error and then close the application when clicked. One says that error-reporting is not available.
Similarly with 2017SP3 and 2018SP0. Fedora updates are current as of today.
This system is an Intel core i3. lspci reports "Intel Corp Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen core processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)"
2018SP0 does work once an Nvidia GT710 card and the nvidia driver module are installed. It does not work with the nouveau driver module and the same card.
Does anybody have any insight as to the cause? A regression in Fedora, or a latent bug in DraftSight, or anything else?
Knowing whether it works with Fedora 26 and AMD graphics might be very helpful.
Edit March 2018
Doesn't work but differently on a system with AMD R5 230. No "Could not parse" errors, not anything else on the terminal window, but Draftsight starts up with the display all wrong and then locks up. Clicking the "X" gets to "the program is not responding".
Also worth noting that this isn't a Wayland issue. Systems are running Cinnamon and lightdm, so it's good old X.
Also a work-around, if performance is unimportant. (And it probably isn't, with Gen 4 Intel Graphics). Run it as a "remote" application on localhost, on a system with Intel graphics.

Also kernel 4.20 plus NVidia 390.87 fails to build. There's a patched NVidia installer that does work at if_not_false_then_true site.

I had similar problems when I updated Fedora 24 to 25. The parse stylesheet messages still show up but I can run draftsight from an Xorg session, (not Wayland), using the nouveau drivers but only under root privileges using sudo .
You might try the following script:
sudo DISPLAY=$DISPLAY vblank_mode=1 /opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux/DraftSight
I can only get DraftSight to run as root under Fedora 27, 4.18.16-100.fc27.x86_64. I have installed a VM with Ubuntu, and it runs fine, without elevated privileges.

gdb: unknown target exception

When trying to run a program using gdb I get
[New Thread 4612.0x158c]

Program received signal ?, Unknown signal.
0x746623d2 in RaiseException () from /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNELBASE.dll
I researched this and found three possible causes: (1) path environment variable not set, (2) drive not mapped, and (3) using the wrong version of gdb (32-bit or 64-bit). So I added C:\cygwin\bin to the path environment variable, typed mount and got
C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

When I type show configuration get

and my computer is 32 bits, so it appears to be the correct version.
gdb itself seems to work, e.g. I can type watch followed by an address and it will set a watchpoint; gcc and g++ work fine, and the program I am debugging will start if I run it from the command line but not from gdb.
What other things should I check?
This is a special technical exception that communicates thread name to supporting debugger (Delphi RAD Studio, Visual Mess etc.). It is convenient to look at the thread list in the debugger and understand what is going on by looking at names. Threads throw this exception and instantly catch it, doing nothing in the handler. Until recent SetThreadName introduction, it was the only common way to set thread name. SetThreadName is Unicode, but SetThreadName not widely supported yet, so many libraries use supported method. It can be IME, OLE, whatever spawns threads.
I guess, gdb is aware of neither method. Just ignore this exception.
I had the same problem. I am also using x86 with eclipse mars.2 on a Vista, and by default, gdb 7.10 was downloaded by setup. I also tried all you have tried to no avail.
Lastly, I noticed the link below and upgraded gdb to 7.11 and the problem was fixed.

how to force chrome to use mesa software driver for webgl

I want to force chrome to render WebGL using software drivers, not hardware.
I'm using Ubuntu Linux and I understand that the Mesa GL drivers can be forced to use a software implementation by specifying the environment variable, LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1, when launching a program. I confirmed that the driver changes when specifying the env var.
bash$ glxinfo | grep -i "opengl"
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 10.1.3
OpenGL extensions:
bash$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 glxinfo | grep -i "opengl"
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128 bits)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.1.3
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL extensions:
The default GL driver provides OpenGL 1.4 support, and the software driver provides OpenGL 2.1 support.
I tracked down where the desktop launcher exists (/usr/share/applications/) and edited it to specify the env var, but chrome://gpu still shows GL version 1.4. The Chrome GPU info contains a promising value:
Command Line Args --flag-switches-begin --disable-accelerated-2d-canvas --ignore-gpu-blacklist --flag-switches-end
I wonder if I can customize the --flag-switches-begin.
I also found the '--use-gl' command line switch, but I'm not sure how to leverage it to force the driver into software mode.
As a side note, I have already enabled 'Override software rendering list' in chrome://flags/, which did remove my model from the 'blacklist' making it possible to use WebGL, but the OpenGL feature set is still quite limited.
I have an old laptop with a terrible 'gpu' that I would like to use to develop some shaders and test in WebGL, no matter the performance.
Is it possible to tell Chrome to use the software drivers?
I don't have a linux box so I can't check but you can specify a prefix chrome will use for launching the GPU process with
--gpu-launcher=<prefix>
It's normally used for debugging for example
--gpu-launcher="xterm -e gdb --args"
When chrome launches a process it calls spawn. Normally it just launches
path/to/chrome <various flags>
--gpu-launcher lets you add a prefix to that. So for example
--gpu-launcher=/usr/local/yourname/launch.sh
would make it spawn
/usr/local/yourname/launch.sh path/to/chrome <various flags>
You can now make /usr/local/yourname/launch.sh do whatever you want and finally launch chrome. The simplest would be something like
#!/bin/sh
"$#"
In your case I'd guess you'd want
#!/bin/sh
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
"$#"
Be sure to mark launch.sh as executable.
given the script above this worked for me
/opt/google/chrome/chrome --ignore-gpu-blacklist --gpu-launcher=/usr/local/gman/launch.sh
after which about:gpu gives me
GL_VENDOR VMware, Inc.
GL_RENDERER Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x301)
GL_VERSION 2.1 Mesa 9.0.3

Cannot run CUDA code that queries NVML - error regarding libnvidia-ml.so

Recently a colleague needed to use NVML to query device information, so I downloaded the Tesla development kit 3.304.5 and copied the file nvml.h to /usr/include. To test, I compiled the example code in tdk_3.304.5/nvml/example and it worked fine.
Over a weekend, something changed in the system (I cannot determine what was changed and I am not the only one with access to the machine) and now any code that uses nvml.h, such as the example code, fails with the following error:
Failed to initialize NVML:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WARNING:
You should always run with libnvidia-ml.so that is installed with your NVIDIA Display Driver. By default it's installed in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64. libnvidia-ml.so in TDK package is a stub library that is attached only for build purposes (e.g. machine that you build your application doesn't have to have Display Driver installed).
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, I can still run nvidia-smi and read information about my K20m's state, and as far as I am aware nvidia-smi is just a set of calls to nvml.h. The error message I receive is somewhat cryptic, but I believe it is telling me that the nvidia-ml.so file needs to match the Tesla driver that I have installed on my system. Just to ensure everything is correct, I re-downloaded CUDA 5.0 and installed the driver, CUDA runtime, and the test files. I am certain that the nvidia-ml.so file matches the driver (both are 304.54) so I am quite confused as to what could be going wrong. I can compile and run the test code with nvcc as well as run my own CUDA code, as long as it doesn't include nvml.h.
Has anyone encountered this error or have any thoughts on rectifying the issue?

You are getting this error because the application that is trying to use nvml is loading the stub library that is located in:
...tdk_install_path/lib64/libnvidia-ml.so
instead of the one in:
/usr/lib64/libnvidia-ml.so
I was able to reproduce your error when I added the stub library path to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. So that is one possible source of error, if someone added the path of the stub library that comes with the tdk distribution to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, but probably not the only way this could happen. If someone in an unusual fashion copied the stub library to some system path, that might also be an issue.
You'll need to try and figure out why your system is loading that stub library in place of the correct one in /usr/lib64. Alternatively, for discovery purposes, you could try deleting all instances of the stub library anywhere on your system (leave the correct libraries in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 alone), and you should be able to observe correct behavior.
I solved the problem this way on a GTX 1070 using windows 10 : go to device manager, select the GPU that is having a problem, disable the GPU and enable back.
I was having this same or similar issue with EWBF Cuda Miner for zCash.
Here is a way to automatically implement Pro7ech's answer (which worked for me) for WIN10:
Install WDK for Windows 10 if you don't already have it: This will give you the ability to use devcon.exe which allows manipulation of devices via batch scripts:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/download-the-wdk
You might also need the Windows SDK if you don't have visual studio with Desktop development with C++ workload:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk
To make things easier, you might want to add the installation path to your PATH environment variable:
https://www.howtogeek.com/118594/how-to-edit-your-system-path-for-easy-command-line-access/
Devcon.exe was installed here for me:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Tools\x64
So now run this or similar in a cmd.exe prompt to get the device id:
devcon findall * | find /i "nvidia"
Here is what mine looks like:
C:\Users\Soenhay>devcon findall * | find /i "nvidia"
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10DE&DEV_0083&SUBSYS_38426674&REV_1001\5&1C277AD4&0&0001: NVIDIA High Definition Audio
SWD\MMDEVAPI\{0.0.0.00000000}.{574980C3-9747-42EF-A78C-4C304E070B81}: SAMSUNG (NVIDIA High Definition Audio)

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1B81&SUBSYS_66743842&REV_A1\4&1F1337ch33s3&0&0000: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
From that I see that my graphics device id is:
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1B81&SUBSYS_66743842&REV_A1\4&1F1337ch33s3&0&0000
So I create a batch file with the following to disable and re-enable the driver:
devcon disable "#PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1B81&SUBSYS_66743842&REV_A1\4&1F1337ch33s3&0&0000"
devcon enable "#PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1B81&SUBSYS_66743842&REV_A1\4&1F1337ch33s3&0&0000"
Now, when I get the NVML error when starting the miner I just run this batch file and it fixes it. You could also just add those 2 lines to the beginning of your start.bat file to do this every time but I found that the error does not always happen every time I restart the miner time now.
References:
superuser post

No matching devices found.
NOTE:
The command should have the # symbol at the beginning of the device id.
The batch script should be run as administrator.
I have faced the same error.
Found a solutions is to run command:
