Still seeing this as frequently? Since it sounds easy for you to reproduce, could you also try and reproduce with virt-viewer? sudo virt-viewer $vmname, continue as usual. Another potential way to narrow it down is to see if switching to vnc makes any difference. Haven't been using VMs as much lately as we're between releases now. I'll try and keep an eye out for it when I do. Adam, have you been seeing this over the past few months, or did it disappear? Still as per c#2, with the F21 schedules :/ Just saw this in a VM running F20 on an F21 host. I recently recreated the actual virtual machine itself, too, so the machine isn't a very old one. I'll see if I can try some of the things from c#1. So Adam knows it isn't just him, I have this happen sometimes with RHEL 6 guests on a F-20 host, using spice. I can confirm that the guest thinks both ctrl and alt are pressed. It happens infrequently enough that I forget about it, and when weird stuff starts happening as I type, my brain is hardwired to push backspace. When I do that, the X server gets killed and takes my session with it, and then I slap my forehead and remind myself to push ctrl and alt, NOT backspace, and then promptly forget my own advice. I have never seen this happen with my Rawhide guests, btw. The reality is, all this modifier stuff is handled by the graphical widget. It's not impossible that virt-manager could be at fault here, but I'm really not sure how. So reassigning to spice-gtk Would be interesting to know if people are still hitting this with latest f21 Yesterday I got this into a fully reproducible state with virt-manager: - Run f21 guest, logged in to gnome-shell - With the console window focused and the mouse over the window, press alt - Move the mouse off the console window, press tab: this activates alt tab on the host - Alt tab to a non-virt-manager window - Click on the VM window to focus it - Alt is stuck down in the VM I couldn't reproduce with virt-viewer however, so I started looking at virt-manager code. But when I went to reproduce the bug vanished, despite the fact that I reproduced probably 30 times across multiple runs of virt-manager an hour earlier :/ So I'm again thinking it isn't virt-manager specific and there's something else at play yeah, it's weird, right? like the greying-out bug I definitely haven't seen this one as much lately, so I have a very tentative idea it may be to do with debug kernels, but then when we're in debug-kernel time I tend to run with rawhide-nodebug, so...I just don't know. it's odd. See comment 6. No debug kernels in sight there, yet I see the same bug. Or saw. This hasn't actually happened to me recently. This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Still happens to me occasionally. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.

Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. is this still happening? wayland or X? I'd bet this is gtk or gnome-shell/mutter bug, but this may be hard to debug. Well, I don't recall seeing it for a bit, but I don't run VMs anywhere near as often as I used to (thanks, automation!) IIRC it affected ttys too, so I don't think it was to do with GNOME. Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
