Hi<div> </div><div>The file doesn't exist on the host and I had already written off Ubuntu 12.x, the host is command line only, I moved to Xubuntu, which offers better performance, I am hoping I can improve it by using the guest source provided by spice, the Ubuntu guest was partially crashing (launcher I think). I've not decided whether to stick with Xubuntu yet.</div><div> </div><div>I also have a problem with en-gb map not mapping some keys despite being configured in spice and on the guest os (#~ not working at all, @' mapping to ¬` and ¬` not working at all) It is only a problem through spice, but three (four when programming) of these are quite important. It's not the US map as " would be @, so I am about to Google for it, to see how I can edit it, and which bit is the problem <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 11:00 AM, David Jaša <<a href="mailto:djasa@redhat.com" target="_blank">djasa@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> In addition to what Christophe writes, you can try to disable surfaces in the guest driver: # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/qxl.conf Section "Device" Identifier "qxl" Driver "qxl" #Option "DPI" "96 x 96" #Option "ENABLE_IMAGE_CACHE" "True" #Option "ENABLE_FALLBACK_CACHE" "False" Option "ENABLE_SURFACES" "False" EndSection they are known pain point in linux guests.
