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.
