I’ve just finished up setting up my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS machine with a Windows 10 Guest VM that uses Looking Glass, and I’ve written down in extreme detail all of the problems I ran into while attempting to do so, here:
Hello everyone. Over the past 3 days, I have gone through the extremely painful process of getting a Windows 10 Virtual Machine with PCIe Passthrough working adequately on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Along the way, I’ve run into problem after problem, many of which were problems that required multiple hours to figure out, so I’m making this thread to put all the problems and solutions I’ve run into in one place. Hopefully, this will make setting something similar to this up on your own machine, much less time consuming.
Without further ado, I used the following guides for various points in the process:
Ubuntu 17.04 – VFIO PCIe Passthrough & Kernel Update (4.14-rc1)
Ubuntu 18.04 – VFIO PCIe Passthrough
Looking Glass Quickstart
Rokups’ Sharing HID devices with KVM virtual machine Guide
NOTE: Apparently New Forum Users can only post 5 links at a time, and huge posts need approval, so this thread is probably gonna be a pain to navigate/missing parts at first.
Hopefully some of you will find this useful!
