Quick start
|
|
###########
|
|
|
|
This is the shortest path to a current Looking Glass installation. It assumes
|
|
that KVM/QEMU and the Windows guest are already working.
|
|
|
|
1. :doc:`Check the requirements </requirements>`.
|
|
2. :doc:`Download and build the Linux client </build>`. Current
|
|
releases are not provided as Linux distribution packages.
|
|
3. :doc:`Configure KVMFR and IVSHMEM <install_libvirt>` for the largest guest
|
|
resolution and framerate you intend to use.
|
|
4. :doc:`Install the Looking Glass IDD <install_idd>` inside the
|
|
Windows guest. Install the bundled IVSHMEM driver when required.
|
|
5. :doc:`Install the client <install_client>` from its build directory.
|
|
6. Start the Windows guest, then run:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
looking-glass-client
|
|
|
|
The client selects ``/dev/kvmfr0`` automatically when it is present, and
|
|
otherwise uses ``/dev/shm/looking-glass``. If your path differs, select it with
|
|
``-f`` or ``lgmp:shmDevice``.
|
|
|
|
The first connection should show the virtual Looking Glass display created by
|
|
the IDD. If it does not, follow :doc:`the no-display checks <troubleshooting>`
|
|
before changing performance settings.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
SPICE is optional for the primary IDD video and input paths. Keep it enabled
|
|
if you want clipboard, audio or display fallback services.
