There are many different issues that can arise when setting up Looking

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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- **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.**
- **Did you install them twice?**
- The Spice VDAgent is available in both Spice Guest Tools, and
standalone as a separate installer. Check your installed programs
and uninstall the VDAgent if it's installed separately.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Depending on your distribution, various 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:
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
