kvm sends caps lock key up event twice

[Benjamin Drung]

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

I have set the keyboard layout to German NEO 2 [1] in the host and the client (both current karmic). The caps lock is used as modifier (similar to shift) in NEO. When I press "caps lock" + "t", then the client prints a "t" instead of a "-". A caps lock key up event is sent to the client before I release the caps lock key.

This patch breaks handling of CapsLock in ARAnyM.

I like this fix of CapsLock and NumLock keys (since ARAnyM has to
contain a code that emulates the proper behaviour of the CapsLock key)
but this should have been merged upstream first. Now it breaks the
cross-platform nature of libSDL since application written for this
library behaves differently on Debian than on other systems. Please
consider that.

BTW, this fix also breaks the GetModState() for CAPS - I haven't had
time to look into it yet but it seems to suffer from a race condition of
some kind - normally the GetModState() never shows the CAPS active
(which is a bug I think) but if I pressed the CapsLock twice quickly or
something like that the ModState started reporting the CAPS as always on.

I am going to upload a new version of ARAnyM that contains the
"SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS" workaround for this patch. Took me quite some
time to figure out that Debian caused this problem (was debugging
MS-Windows for weeks to find the cause). Pity you didn't push it
upstream first :-/

Hmm, I was able to confirm this partially.

However, I also found that if I press shift-capslock, I am able to pass this to the kvm guest.

Can you test that?

Any recommendations here?

Please enter your full qemu command line into the bug report.

Here is it:

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Dustin,

shift+capslock does not work either. E.g. if I press shift+capslock+t it results in a T.

[Shahar Havivi (shaharh)]

The bug is regarding SDL implementation, SDL report keydown on first time caps-lock press and keyup only the second time caps-lock press.
Qemu upstream use this "wrong behavior" and generate up event for caps-lock (it's work fine in Fedora and RHEL).

Attach patch for Ubuntu (tested on Ubuntu 9.10)

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

I tested the patch from Shahar and it works on Ubuntu 9.10. I will test if it works on lucid, too.

[Dustin Kirkland  (kirkland)]

Great, thanks.

Anthony-

Can you tell us if this patch is acceptable upstream? I have asked
the submitter to post it to qemu-devel@.

[Anthony Liguori (anthony-codemonkey)]

I don't think we can unconditionally change the behavior as that would introduce regressions on other platforms.

Without understanding the underlying SDL problem, I'm not convinced we wouldn't see problems just on Ubuntu either. It could be something weird that's linked to an SDL input driver.

[Shahar Havivi (shaharh)]

Fix patch to Qemu code standard

[Anthony Liguori (anthony-codemonkey)]

This is a bug in a patch introduced by debian. The patch changes the behavior of the caplocks key in such a way that it breaks any application that is actually using SDL correctly. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=317010

This patch should be removed from the libsdl package.

[Paolo Bonzini (bonzini)]

The sdl patch was correctly submitted as

+ SDL_UseLockKeys = getenv ("SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS") == NULL;

...

+ use_lock_keys = SDL_UseLockKeys;

...

+ if (!use_lock_keys)
+ break;

(i.e. by default do not change anything) but the maintainer apparently morphed it into

+ SDL_UseLockKeys = getenv("SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS");

...

+ use_lock_keys = ( SDL_UseLockKeys && *SDL_UseLockKeys );

...

+ if ( ! use_lock_keys )
+ break;

which changed the meaning of SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS and, at the same time, the default. A better patch to qemu would be to stick

    putenv ("SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS", "howlame");

before SDL_Init. Also totally inacceptable by upstream, but at least it doesn't break Debian/Ubuntu qemu if the wrong 205_lock_keys.patch is removed from libsdl.

[Dustin Kirkland  (kirkland)]

The libsdl1.2 package in Ubuntu is no longer carrying that patch, debian/patches/005_lock_keys.diff. So I don't think that's quite the cause of this.

[Dustin Kirkland  (kirkland)]

So let's take a step back here...

Can anyone confirm the bug on Lucid's qemu-kvm 0.12.2 and libsdl1.2?

I'm running there, and in my guest I can toggle my capslock on/off, and it works as i'd expect.

[Paolo Bonzini (bonzini)]

The faulty patch indeed is only present until Karmic (205_lock_keys.diff, not 005). I guess that then the best workaround is to patch the karmic qemu-kvm as in comment #13.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

I still experience this bug in lucid (with an lucid guest). My use case is the NEO2 keyboard layout.

qemu-kvm 0.12.2-0ubuntu6
libsdl1.2debian 1.2.14-1ubuntu2

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

The bug is still there (lucid guest on lucid host).

qemu-kvm 0.12.3-0ubuntu11
libsdl1.2debian 1.2.14-4ubuntu1

[Shahar Havivi (shaharh)]

The solution is revert this SDL patch

Debian bug #317010 is about 205_lock_keys.diff, but libsdl1.2debian 1.2.14-4ubuntu1 does not apply this patch. Therefore I doubt that this patch is the reason for this bug.

I am reopening the bug for qemu-kvm, because the patch was dropped in 0.12.4+noroms-0ubuntu1.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

I modified qemu-kvm to show what keys it receives (patch attached). I am using the German NEO layout and I get one press and one release event. Here's the output, if I first press 'caps lock' and then '#':

Unlike other keys, everything gets dumped at once at keydown - nothing
new is generated at keyup.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

Uh, but capslock works for me! In the stock 0.12.5 maverick qemu-kvm package.

(I hadn't noticed before, because I generally keep capslock set as an additional control).

So this bug is, in fact fix committed. It sounds like you have a differnet bug relating
to your keyboard layout. Please do open a new bug for it.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

I am reopening the bug again, because I am the original bug reporter and this bug depends on the keyboard layout.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

libsdl1.2 does not send an key up event for the host caps lock key, but does send the key up event if the physical caps lock key is mapped to another key (like NEO2 does). qemu-kvm works around this bug by sending a key up event for every caps lock key event. The attached patch fixes the bug for me. Can you test, if the caps lock behavior still works for you?

Right, and when I have capslock mapped to control as I usually do, then
I do get a keyup event:

Capslock turning on:
sdl_process_key({type=0x2,which=0x0,state=0x1,keysym={scancode=0x42,sym=0x12d,mod=0x2000,unicode=0x0}})
keycode = 0x3a
kbd_put_keycode(0x3a)
kbd_put_keycode(0xba)

capslock turning off:

sdl_process_key({type=0x3,which=0x0,state=0x0,keysym={scancode=0x42,sym=0x12d,mod=0x0,unicode=0x0}})
keycode = 0x3a
kbd_put_keycode(0x3a)
kbd_put_keycode(0xba)

You mean "press caps lock" with "capslock turning on" and "release caps lock" with "capslock turning off"?

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

Sorry, Benjamin, I cut-pasted the wrong bit. When capslock is mapped to control on the
host, then I get:

key press:

sdl_process_key({type=0x2,which=0x0,state=0x1,keysym={scancode=0x42,sym=0x132,mod=0x0,unicode=0x0}})
keycode = 0x3a

key up:

sdl_process_key({type=0x3,which=0x0,state=0x0,keysym={scancode=0x42,sym=0x132,mod=0x0,unicode=0x0}})
keycode = 0x3a

Thanks, Benjamin. I will propose this patch for merge as soon as some
technical difficulties with the natty/qemu-kvm tree are straightened
out. Hopefully tomorrow.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

Thanks, Benjamin. I've pushed your fix to a ppa in
https://launchpad.net/~serge-hallyn/+archive/qemu-capslock
for testing. I'd like someone with a standard keyboard with
capslock not remapped to give this a spin, then I'll propose the
fix for merge into the natty tree (after which it can be SRU'd into
maverick).

If noone gets to it before then, I can test it next week. This week,
unfortunately, I can't do it myself.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Attached a new version of my patch. You find two branches linked to this bug for maverick and natty. The patch sets SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS and get rid of the complete workaround in qemu-kvm. This requires SDL >= 1.2.14.

qemu-kvm (0.13.0+noroms-0ubuntu8) natty; urgency=low

  * Add caps-lock-key-up-event.patch to enable normal up/down events for
    Caps-Lock and Num-Lock keys by setting SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS (which
    requires SDL > 1.2.14). This fixes handling of capslock when capslock is
    mapped to something else in host system. (LP: #427612)
