Running Looking Glass

You can run Looking Glass with the usual options; however, you will need to add the -c and spice:captureOnStart=yes options to allow keyboard, mouse, and audio support to work properly. If you have not configured your VM’s SPICE server to listen on external interfaces, you must do so as well. On the host:

Warning

This exposes your VM SPICE channel at all times. A future update will open the SPICE channel on demand, but it has not currently been implemented.

Example:

./looking-glass-client -c 172.22.0.1 spice:captureOnStart=yes -f /dev/kvmfr0
