Failed to create EGL surface

cmoida · May 10, 2020, 12:49am

Hi there,

I am trying to get started with Looking glass. I followed the guide but when I try to run the client.

It crashes with a “Failed to create EGL surface (eglError: 0x3005)”

Any ideas what is happening and where I should look next? I am running the host on debian 9.4

Thanks,

Sure - Can you please list your hardware?

Assuming you’re using AMD gpu?

Have a look at this https://github.com/gnif/LookingGlass/issues/186

HI!
I am using an integrated graphics chip on the i7-8700K,

Intel® UHD Graphics 630

i am passing through a nvidia 2070

I already tried the suggestion of geoff in this post but I dont have a stack trace.

No stack.

Thanks!

The archive download doesn’t include the submodules and you need to use git. This will be fixed at a later date.

See the note.

Great I will clone the repo. Thanks!

Hello,

I tried to follow the instructions in creating the bleeding edge version that I checked out from GIT. I was able to get a client that would open although it then crashed.

I then realized that I needed to make the vm host executable also. This however is not working although I followed the instructions

Thanks again for taking a look.

Again you did not clone the submodules.

However, you don’t need to build the c-host, just grab it from the website. Scroll down for bleeding edge builds.

That still did not work. I am currently fighting with debian buster to try and see if that will work better. I’ll report back with success soon…

cmoida · May 11, 2020, 12:31am

So finally got it running after setting up debian 10! Thanks for all your help!

Do you know of any work-arounds for AMD pro driver users?

I need the PRO driver for Davinci Resolve and my endless hours of gameplay on Overwatch on Arch Linux. But I want to be able to access my Windows VM without having to switch drivers all the time

gnif · May 17, 2020, 6:21am

Don’t use them, they are not needed. OpenCL can be made to work without the entire AMD pro driver suite.

Tim_Carruthers · May 17, 2020, 11:20am

Ahh I see.

Is the any OpenCL package in particular I should use?
