[Spice-devel] keyboard and Mouse Fails....

Fri Dec 30 03:44:40 PST 2011

Hi Arnon,

Please find the attached VDAgent, VDService logs. I know RHEV Spice Agent is for handling Auto-conf for resolution adjustment, mouse support for multi-head monitors, and Clipboard functionality. In what scenarios Keyboard lock happens?

Keyboard/Mouse lock issue happens only with Windows guest connecing from Linux Spice client..(This is major issue that need to do system restart or close Xwindows session to restart Spice session)

Black screen issue happens with Windows/Linux guests connecting from Linux Spice client.

Can you please forward scratch build for vdagent? I see whether it may fix the issues at my environment.

Thanks,
Mohan.

We have a patch fixing agent crash on connection during guest startup (on rare cases) and I can send you a scratch build.
Do you think it's the case? the agent crash locks the mouse but should have no effect on keyboard. Can you give more details about it?
Posting your %windir%\temp\vdagent.log & vdservice.log may help.

Seems like for some reason the client doesn't get auto-conf ack from the guest agent. Does it timeout & exit after 30 sec?
This can also be the case if the agent crashed during startup. However, you say that without the --full-screen=auto-conf it works.
Please check in all cases if vdservice & vdagent processes are up.

I will try to repro from F14 and update you.
