Thanks for the video and scripts. You talk about looking glass, but no mention of an additional display. Can you not just connect another display to the connector from the integrated Intel graphics and have that be a dedicated display for the VM?
Sorry to throw more questions at you on this! When trying this in Ubuntu 20.04 I found that my Linux environment ran extremely slowly when my primary display was connected to my 2080ti, but fine if the display was attached to the igpu. This is regardless of whether the vm was on it off. Have you seen this before? Also, a lot of the time my mouse and keyboard doesn't get passed back when shutting down the vm, works sometimes but not others? Thank you for your videos, they're fantastic.
In Linux try to change some settings in Nvidia Prime. Maybe try setting it to performance mode. Im just guessing though. I think I had a similar issue on an optimus equipped laptop.
This time I able to install GVT-g on my skylake i5-6500 CPU but I had to use arch linux and seabios instead of UEFI OVMF. No more BSOD and things running perfectly well. Just your virsh.txt helped me here. Thanks for your work on that part and I wanna see arch/manjaro tutorial from your channel about gvt-g.
If it's possible to do single gpu passthrough with a dGPU (in my case, a nvidia gtx 1060 with a Intel i5-9400F meaning it has no iGPU) could you link any guides or try to make a guide on it?
Unixian You can not do exactly the same thing with a 1060. Only Intel iGPUs and a couple of of server GPUs support it. If you look for single GPU passthrough guides, they allow you to switch GPUs between the host and the guest. In those cases only one is using it at a time.
Will this work in my system? GVT-g helper dl are a bit intimidating. My system is Jammy LTS > uses the same kernel driver i915 in my host. I have virt-manager already. Windows 10 in default settings/setup works fine but I want to do this, the pass through. any advice.
Beer Goggler I personally use Fedora, but Ubuntu and Manjaro are really popular too. You’ll find a lot of help on the Internet for all of these. Can’t go wrong with any of them.
Pavol Elsig I’m struggling to even get Ubuntu desktop installed on my Z620. Got an old GT710 as my primary GPU and Ubuntu refuses to boot to it on install USB, and after install on safe graphics mode. Managed to get to terminal and lots of Nouveau data error messages on dmesg. Trying apt-get update/upgrade but not hopeful. Will fall back to Fedora if this does t work
Beer Goggler Do you also have an AMD GPU in that PC? In cases like that, it might help to add nomodeset to grub. It helps with errors like that, at least until all the secondary GPUs are bound to vfio-pci.
Update: managed to isolate the amd gpu with vfio, then had a weird edid issue with the gt710 on HDMI. Got lucky by swapping the HDMI monitor port. Got it all working in the end. Why does it have to be so difficult? Thanks anyway.
I really enjoy all your tutorials, very informative and helpful. Thank you. Just tried this tutorial (a little modified as I am on Arch) on a thinkpad with Intel/Nvidia combination. All works fine until the restart of the VM after adding the intel graphics adapter via virsh. The VM comes up and I believe it found and the new graphics adapter, but the screen turns black. It does not crash, as I am able to shutdown the laptop. Both monitor outputs (mini display as well as HDMI) don't have a signal either. Any idea/pointer as to what might be the problem for further investigation? Thanks!
Arno Speitkamp Glad to hear you find these tutorials helpful. I was having issues like that too. I had to disable the Nvidia GPU through nvidia-control panel / prime. After that it seemed to work pretty well.
@@PavolElsig Thanks for taking the time to answer, really appreciate it. The pointer with NVIDIA/Prime is great, to be honest I actually skipped this step in your tutorial, as the NVIDIA control panel (450.66) does not have the section with the PRIME profiles on my Thinkpad.

Arno Speitkamp Yes, that should disable the dedicated GPU. I’m sure the is a different way of getting this to work too. I would check the Arch Linux wiki’s GVT-g section to see if they have any helpful tips.
Hi, I following your guide. I get my intel vga driver installed, but after restart windows display adapter still there, and I cant start looking glass on guest side. Any step I missed?
Pavol, this tutorial is amazing. It was very easy to accomplish the installation with your scripts and commentary. Unfortunately, I'm facing strange problem that I haven't solved yet. Even though everything is installed on the first attempt with no error (according device manager UHD630 seems installed within guest) my user experience is very, very bad. Every mouse move is incredibly slow (looking glass capturing is enabled), every graphic render stutters . It seems like frame rate is somehow decreased and latency somehow prolonged. Do you have any advice for this situation?
Try changing the CPU topology in VM manager. Change it to one socket and a couple of cores. And than make sure that the allocation on the top of the page matches it.
@@PavolElsig I think I did. Manual assignment: 1 socket, 3 cores, 2 threads. Do you think that this issue is related? github.com/intel/gvt-linux/issues/35
@Pavol Elsig I tried a lot in recent days and I managed to collect further details. The problem seems to be related to looking glass to me. I have found out that there is a quite considerable performance difference between QXL and Looking glass approach. I switched to QXL that within guest's resolution seems to be stucked to 800x600. Anyway, I tried to download Unigine benchmark, I put it to low settings, picked DX11 and the result was around 75FPS. Then I turned it off and went for looking glass approach again. I set the guest's resolution also to 800x600 and ran benchmark with same settings, the result was only around 30FPS. After that I ran looking glass with -k parameter to view a frame related information. There are two values - FPS is always close to 60FPS, but UPS is not. When I run 60FPS video within guest that its resolution is set up to 1920x1080 the UPS is about 27FPS. When I increase guest's resolution to my screen native 3840x2160 and run the same video the gap between UPS and FPS is even worse - UPS is just about 6-7. It seems that I'm facing performance problem in my particular setup. But I don't understand why. I mean it supposed to be native like experience...at least in 1080 resolution, isn't it? My setup is pretty generic I'd say. Intel 10th gen core processor with UHD630, plenty of RAM, SSD, newly installed Ubuntu 20.10 and within guest it seems that UHD630 is correctly installed.
@@albertogarcia5311 Have you tried adjusting the memory size value for looking glass. Other than that 4k might be a lot to ask for from Looking Glass. You could try one of the game streaming utilities like moonlight or steam streaming.

Jim It will probably work for gvt-g. I don’t know how well it’ll run since it’s only a ULV quad-core. Make sure to set the CPU topology (in VM manager) to single socket and give the VM a couple cores.
@@PavolElsig Follow-up question tho, I don't quite understand how GPU passthrough works so If I will use the igpu in windows VM, does it mean I can't now use it to play some linux native games? I read that this will be difficult to do. So I have to use Dgpu like egpu. Is that correct?
Jim With gvt-g you can use the Intel iGPU for both the host and the guest at the same time. Any other form of GPU passthrough gets pretty difficult on laptops. For most other forms of passthrough, you’d need two GPUs - one for the host and one for the guest.

@@PavolElsig what about the gvt-g drivers and can the igpu passdown to the macos, as my laptop is a optimus based laptop and i cannot use mx230 gpu in macos
@@PavolElsig later I found out it's a bug side from intel, tried everything, changed driver from safe mode. Same case, BSOD when guest tries to load iGPU driver. HD 530 is not for GVT-g then for now. Here's the github issue comment github.com/intel/gvt-linux/issues/60#issuecomment-691852789
@@vboodesu9150 That’s an interesting error. Just to make sure, you see 2 GPUs in the device manager and neither one works (one should be the qxl emulated and one the iGPU). Make sure you’re using UEFI and 64bit Windows 10. Possibly trying an older driver might work.
Jarvis Smith You can passthrough the 1070 to a VM and I have guides for that. You would then use Looking Glass to display the content of the VM on the host. But you’d need two GPUs. You can not use the 1070 concurrently in the host and the guest if it’s the only GPU. GVT-g is only available on some server GPUs and on Intel iGPUs.
@@PavolElsig Understandable. I took a jab at the passthrough earlier this month, but I believe I wasn't able to make my GPU use virt-io as it was stuck on Nvidia. After going through the helper steps
@@jarvissmith7868 If you ever want to try it again, try my Fedora guide (I think Suse would work too). Those can take grub parameter rd.driver.pre=vfio-pci. That should help with vfio-pci loading before nvidia/nouveau. That usually happens when both your GPUs are Nvidias. Just make sure that Linux display output is not coming from the same GPU.
@@jarvissmith7868 If you have both an iGPU and a 1070, it makes the most sense to passthrough the 1070. You’d end up with linux using the iGPU and the guest using the 1070. You’re right that you’d have to change the boot GPU to the iGPU in that scenario. Once the 1070 is bound to the vfio driver, the host can’t use it. Intel iGPU is the only consumer GPU that can run the guest and the host at the same time. If you want to passthrough anything else, you have to decide beforehand which GPU will be used for the host/guest.
Everything worked well, but unfortunately, after that, I found out that snapshots are not supported when passthrough is enabled :( Btw, many thanks for your work.
I'd like to thank you so much for your efforts, i just came through some errors on pop os, i think it's mainly due to using systemd and not grub. will be highly appreciated if u can assist with this.
@@hilaleah Try the one from the other versions. The full release of B2. You’ll probably have to start over though. The password requirement is new. It wasn’t there when I made the video.
@@PavolElsig okey its working for me , i run full screen and its open but when i pess click L and right in mouse Mouse cursor goes to corner automatically
For PCI GPU you don't usually have this functionality (it depends on whether the host driver supports it). On the other hand classical passthrough works properly on them and, since you're outputting to an actual display it's much easier to deal with.
Antoine Roquentin You’d have to have a GPU that supports SR-IOV like Firepro S7150. Even then, it would be quite a journey. Your best bet is just passing a dedicated secondary GPU.
Antoine Roquentin In his case the host and the VM aren’t using the GPU concurrently. The host has to disengage the GPU and then the VM can use it. If you follow that guide, the performance can be much better because you’re not stuck with an iGPU. The only downside is that you can’t alt tab between the VM and the host.
A video on how to switch GPU between host and guest and more on looking glass and sound had been nice :)
OzzyKampha That would be nice. One day I’ll make it
Thankyou so much for making this.

@@PavolElsig later I found out it's a bug side from intel, tried everything, changed driver from safe mode. Same case, BSOD when guest tries to load iGPU driver. HD 530 is not for GVT-g then for now. Here's the github issue comment github.com/intel/gvt-linux/issues/60#issuecomment-691852789
I desperately need your help in making these steps work for macOS guest vm
Plz plz help out
🙏🙏🙏
will this work on my chuwi tablet / laptop. has intel 650 graphics and a celeron 8gb ram and real SSD
It might, but performance won’t be very good. I think a quad-core might be the minimum for reasonable performance.
@@PavolElsig it has 4 cores. Although I undertand it is only 2.2ghz per core (unlocked)
Ryan Birks Only one way to find out
will it work on arch linux?
Thankyou so much for the video, i have aorus b450 pro with r5 3600 and gtx 1070 ^_^ any Single GPU passthrough guide, if you can help :)
it done :D i resolved by myself thanks
after passthrough intel 630 can i add in gtx1650 also?
As long as you follow the right steps for direct GPU passthrough.
When i tried to install the drivers for my intel hd 520 it doesnt find any drivers. Any fixes?
Try downloading them from Intel’s website
@@PavolElsig Ill try doing that
@@PavolElsig it just tells me your device does not meet the minimum requirements to run this program
@@vboodesu9150 That’s an interesting error. Just to make sure, you see 2 GPUs in the device manager and neither one works (one should be the qxl emulated and one the iGPU). Make sure you’re using UEFI and 64bit Windows 10. Possibly trying an older driver might work.
@@PavolElsig i think it doesnt detect my gpu
Can you make a video about Lokking Glass on Pop OS?
I could look into it one day, but it should pretty much the same as Ubuntu.
Pavol Elsig thank you:) having problems with it, you see
Would I be able to use something similar to this with a GTX 1070
Jarvis Smith You can passthrough the 1070 to a VM and I have guides for that. You would then use Looking Glass to display the content of the VM on the host. But you’d need two GPUs. You can not use the 1070 concurrently in the host and the guest if it’s the only GPU. GVT-g is only available on some server GPUs and on Intel iGPUs.
@@PavolElsig Understandable. I took a jab at the passthrough earlier this month, but I believe I wasn't able to make my GPU use virt-io as it was stuck on Nvidia. After going through the helper steps
@@jarvissmith7868 If you ever want to try it again, try my Fedora guide (I think Suse would work too). Those can take grub parameter rd.driver.pre=vfio-pci. That should help with vfio-pci loading before nvidia/nouveau. That usually happens when both your GPUs are Nvidias. Just make sure that Linux display output is not coming from the same GPU.
@@PavolElsig I gotcha. So silly question, would that mean I would have to switch my input to the igpu for the GPU to have guest?
@@jarvissmith7868 If you have both an iGPU and a 1070, it makes the most sense to passthrough the 1070. You’d end up with linux using the iGPU and the guest using the 1070. You’re right that you’d have to change the boot GPU to the iGPU in that scenario. Once the 1070 is bound to the vfio driver, the host can’t use it. Intel iGPU is the only consumer GPU that can run the guest and the host at the same time. If you want to passthrough anything else, you have to decide beforehand which GPU will be used for the host/guest.
would this work on Debian as well?
I haven’t tested it on Debian. It might need some adjustments.
Everything worked well, but unfortunately, after that, I found out that snapshots are not supported when passthrough is enabled :(
Btw, many thanks for your work.
Live snapshots don't work with passthrough. You should still be able to create a snapshot of a machine that's shut down.
When i try to extract the files it asks me for password any fixes?
They added a password. It’s the commit hash right next to the date.
I'd like to thank you so much for your efforts, i just came through some errors on pop os, i think it's mainly due to using systemd and not grub. will be highly appreciated if u can assist with this.
Unfortunately, 10th gen and higher does not supports this technology.
It worked with my 10210u
looking glass host win required password to extract , what is it ?
It’s the commit hash. Right next to the date in the row where you clicked on the download.
@@PavolElsig i use this version Tag: B2-rc2 i type d579705b but give me wrong
@@hilaleah Try the one from the other versions. The full release of B2. You’ll probably have to start over though. The password requirement is new. It wasn’t there when I made the video.
@UCM-_JBFej0QAuVYKv2mTSgg Do you get any errors?
@@PavolElsig okey its working for me , i run full screen and its open but when i pess click L and right in mouse Mouse cursor goes to corner automatically
can you make a gvt g tutorial for manjaro?
I might update that script at some point to work with Manjaro.
@@PavolElsig Thank you! I would like to know when that happens!
can i use single igpu for macos?
I haven’t tried it, but it should work
@@PavolElsigPlease do try it if you are available , please
Can you make one for ArchLinux?
Arch linux wiki has a really good guide for gvt-g.
Stupid question: I need to compile the intel/gvt-linux kernel myself right?
@@prathameshjadhav5047 I didn’t compile anything. I don’t think you’d need to either.
@@PavolElsig because i find nothing in ls /sys/devices/pci${GVT_DOM}/$GVT_PCI/mdev_supported_types
@@prathameshjadhav5047 What processor do you have? Have you edited and updated grub?
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:14 (target_link_directories):
Unknown CMake command "target_link_directories".
Great Guide.
Would it work with PCI GPU also ?
For PCI GPU you don't usually have this functionality (it depends on whether the host driver supports it). On the other hand classical passthrough works properly on them and, since you're outputting to an actual display it's much easier to deal with.
Is there a alternative one for a amd gpu?
Antoine Roquentin You’d have to have a GPU that supports SR-IOV like Firepro S7150. Even then, it would be quite a journey. Your best bet is just passing a dedicated secondary GPU.
Pavol Elsig so what did this guy do? ua-cam.com/video/3BxAaaRDEEw/v-deo.html didn’t he use a and gpu?
Antoine Roquentin In his case the host and the VM aren’t using the GPU concurrently. The host has to disengage the GPU and then the VM can use it. If you follow that guide, the performance can be much better because you’re not stuck with an iGPU. The only downside is that you can’t alt tab between the VM and the host.
