Package: virt-manager Version: 0.9.5-1 Severity: important
Hello, I tried to run a virtual machine using virt-manager instead of manually starting qemu. virt-manager is cool but when the VM console is displayed the X server is grabbed without any warning and there is no way to interact with the rest of X session whatsoever. I understand that you need to grab mouse for relative mouse movement in the VM to work and you may need to grab keyboard for some keyboard shortcuts in the VM to work. However, there is no way to configure this and 1) I never want relative mouse, ever. Hence there is no reason for virt-manager to grab mouse, ever. Unless I am testing how broken hte relative mouse support is, of course. 2) I don't want keyboard grab in most VMs because I use them to run applications that won't run natively for some reason and need the WM shortcuts to be able to switch to and away from the application in question. I have a patch for gtk-vnc which adds options for this to work but upstream rejected the patch: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594566 -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.2 APT prefers testing APT policy: (910, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (410, 'unstable'), (400, 'experimental'), (300, 'saucy-updates'), (300, 'saucy-security'), (300, 'saucy-proposed'), (300, 'saucy-backports'), (300, 'saucy') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.11.0-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages virt-manager depends on: ii gconf2 3.2.5-1+build1 ii librsvg2-common 2.36.1-1 ii python 2.7.5-5 ii python-dbus 1.1.1-1 ii python-glade2 2.24.0-3+b1 ii python-gnome2 2.28.1+dfsg-1 ii python-gtk-vnc 0.5.2-2 ii python-gtk2 2.24.0-3+b1 ii python-ipy 1:0.75-1 ii python-libvirt 1.1.4-2 ii python-support 1.0.15 ii python-urlgrabber 3.9.1-4 ii python-vte 1:0.28.2-5 ii virtinst 0.600.4-2 Versions of packages virt-manager recommends: ii gnome-icon-theme 3.4.0-2 ii libvirt-bin 1.1.4-2 ii python-spice-client-gtk 0.21-0nocelt3 Versions of packages virt-manager suggests: pn gnome-keyring <none> pn python-gnomekeyring <none> pn python-guestfs <none> pn ssh-askpass <none> ii virt-viewer 0.5.6-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
