[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1718719] Re: qemu can't capture keys properly under wayland

[ChristianEhrhardt]

Hi Mathieu,
thanks for the report but since we are up-to-date with qemu and I can't find an 
obvious breakage we might have introduced for this, this should go to 
qmeu-upstream in this case.

Furthermore are these actually two issues?:
#1 - wayland crashes under spice
     more of a wayland bug then I'd expect, but upstream qemu
     might have heard of it and have good pointers
#2 - new qemu does not recognize keys correctly with the default (SDL I'd 
think) frontend?
     That is worth to report upstream qemu for sure.

I added an upstream qemu (and a wayland) task and you can help them to
recreate in case they have questions on how exactly to do so.

** Also affects: qemu
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Also affects: wayland (Ubuntu)

       Status: New

Title:
  qemu can't capture keys properly under wayland

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in wayland package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This appears to be different than the previous similar bugs; patches
  do look to be applied to use libinput in the wayland case. Still:

  unknown keycodes `(unnamed)', please report to address@hidden

  I am using qemu-system-x86                       1:2.10+dfsg-0ubuntu1
  on artful.

  Many key inputs work correctly, but at boot the system will not
  properly catch the arrow keys, the above error shows up immediately
  after hitting Esc (for instance) to get to the boot menu. Booting from
  CD onto a daily Ubuntu desktop image, I can't navigate the splash
  menu.

  The same works correctly through virt-manager (which uses spice
  AFAICT, but wayland tends to crash when running virt-manager), and
  things work if I switch my session to Xorg rather than wayland.
