Mouse frozen under an emulated ubuntu

[FredBezies]

Qemu 0.13.0

Command line used :

qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -localtime -soundhw all -k fr -m 1500 -net user -net nic,model=rtl8139 -hda disk.img -cdrom ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso -boot d

When I try to move mouse cursor in qemu, pointer is frozen. Nothing is moving. Was working perfectly with Qemu 0.12.5.

Works For Me (tm).

Mouse behavour changed in 0.13 (compared with 0.12) a bit - now, without the usual in such cases -usbdevice tablet, guest mouse does not follow host mouse, because they don't match anyway. You have to switch to guest (Ctrl+Alt, or hit mouse in guest window) to activate guest mouse.

Sorry, your "trick" doesn't work at all for me. I try to switch on / off mouse capture in order to get it work. Nothing happens.

Any other idea ?

A freshly installed archlinux with gnome added works flawlessly.

Well, looks like the patch was added on 20 october.

http://git.qemu.org/qemu.git/commit/?id=cd496926155afcb3b6323e70dd720dc118b3a255

With a little luck, it would be in Qemu 0.13.1.

Thanks for the URL and the patch.

Have a good day.

Fred,

Can you test a current version and confirm that everything is OK now?

Long dead. Now, I have another problem. Not working input box.

[FredBezies (fredbezies-deactivatedaccount)]

I forget to say : it is a gwibber bug I was thinking about ;)

[Brad Hards (bradh)]

I'm not sure I understand you. I'm confused about whether you think qemu is "dead", or the bug is "dead", and what the relationship with gwibber is.

Can you state whether, in your opinion / experience, a current version of qemu still has this bug or not?

[FredBezies (fredbezies-deactivatedaccount)]

Sorry :)

I have some big problems with gwibber, and I thought (need some coffee) that it was the gwibber bug I reported.

Bug is long dead. I think I stopped seeing it during 0.14.0 development time.

And I as am using a git version of qemu and ubuntu when I want to flawlessly, we can say : dead bug ;)

0.14 is out, so close bug report.
