###############
|

|

There are many different issues that can arise when setting up Looking
|
||||
Glass. Below is a list of known issues with potential solutions:

|
||||
When Launching Looking Glass the Desktop Doesn't Appear
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
- **Using an AMD GPU?**
|
||||
|
||||
- After the end of the Radeon HD Series AMD started incorporating a
|
||||
feature into their GPU's that effectively puts the card to sleep
|
||||
when no display is connected. For this reason one of two
|
||||
conditions need to be met.
|
||||
|
||||
#. The GPU needs to remain plugged into a monitor (this is good for
|
||||
testing & troubleshooting).
|
||||
#. The GPU needs to have a plug like the ones used in GPU Crypto mining
|
||||
installed to trick the card into thinking that a display is
|
||||
connected.

.. _the_clipboard_is_not_working:
|
||||
|
||||
The Clipboard is not Working
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
- **Did you enable it?**
|
||||
|
||||
- Before you can Copy/Paste content between the Guest and the Host
|
||||
you must `Enable Clipboard
|
||||
Synchronization <https://looking-glass.hostfission.com/wiki/FAQ#How_to_enable_clipboard_synchronization_via_SPICE>`_
|
||||
|
||||
- **Did you install the Spice Guest Tools?**
|
||||
|
||||
- Before you can Copy/Paste content between the Guest and the Host
|
||||
you must install the `SPICE Guest Tools
|
||||
driver <https://www.spice-space.org/download.html>`_. The
|
||||
download is labeled as "spice-guest-tools".
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE: Do make sure that you do NOT install the QEMU Guest
|
||||
Tools driver. These are not the same.**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Are you using Wayland?**
|
||||
|
||||
- Clipboard functionality is not compatible with Wayland. If you are
|
||||
using it you need to disable it for the clipboard to work.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _followed_installation_instructions_but_looking_glass_still_doesnt_launch:
|
||||
|
||||
Followed Installation Instructions but Looking Glass Still Doesn't Launch
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
At times depending on your distribution circumstances can cause Looking
|
||||
Glass to still not run. Below is a list of known issues that can prevent
|
||||
Looking Glass from running properly.
|
||||
|
||||
AppArmor
|
||||
^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
AppArmor is a security application that can prevent Looking Glass from
|
||||
running. How to add security exceptions may vary on your distribution:
|
||||
|
||||
Debian(Ubuntu)
|
||||
''''''''''''''
|
||||
|
||||
Start by opening the file ``/etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu``.
|
||||
Now locate and edit the following lines to represent how they appear in
|
||||
the example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: text
|
||||
|
||||
# for usb access
|
||||
/dev/bus/usb/** rw,
|
||||
/etc/udev/udev.conf r,
|
||||
/sys/bus/ r,
|
||||
/sys/class/ r,
|
||||
/run/udev/data/* rw,
|
||||
/dev/input/* rw,
|
||||
|
||||
# Looking Glass
|
||||
/dev/shm/looking-glass rw,
|
||||
|
||||
Save, exit, and restart AppArmor:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: text
|
||||
|
||||
sudo systemctl restart apparmor
