bug#40542: wip-hurm-vm build failure

[Christopher Howard]

I am using only a mouse. I unplugged the mouse, but am getting similar behavior.

Something of interest, however: the keyboard inputs seem to be working fine until a few seconds after I "login root", at which point the emulated VGA screen blinks, and the wonky behavior starts.

I'm having some trouble playing around with the VM, because a lot of

weird things are happening with keyboard input into the qemu

window. It seems like the meta keys (shift, ctrl, alt, super) are

behaving in strange ways, or that terminal state is getting corrupted

somehow. E.g., sometimes shift key stops working, or the cursors jumps

up to the middle of the screen, or text gets garbled.

Since yesterday I've been seeing that too.  I'm pretty sure that if you

build a VM from core-uupdates, the console is fine.

I haven't looked into the details of the console/tty setup, so I must

have messed-up something.  Sorry!

Could it be a sensitive touch-pad? (are there configs to adjust triggering on motion?)

(I have to disable mouse/touchpad input to edit unless I'm super careful

not to brush it with my sleeve or palm)

Meanwhile we do have ssh login :-)

The startup now goes like this

    startup -> runsystem -> init -> runsystem.hurd -> rc -> shepherd

and; i would like to move towards

    -startup -> rc -> shepherd

if that's possible.

Greetings,

janneke
