I assume this is a f22 host. What are you running as a guest? f22 as well? Is the spice agent running or not in the guest? Hello Christophe, Sorry I failed to include that information - I'm running Centos 7.1 guests. This is before the spice agent could begin to run (assumption!) because this is happening early in Anaconda (the first part of a traditional VM build that requires keyboard input (rather than mouse which works) is the setting of partitions. I found something of a workaround. While VNC does work, it also appears that you can use Spice if you change away from the default settings to the following: Type: Spice server Address: All interfaces (changed from default value of 'Localhost only') Port: Auto TLS Port: Auto So it appears to be something about the address field on the spice server. I find it kind of odd because the mouse part of Spice works regardless of the setting, but then again I don't know much about Spice. Thanks a bunch! - Kodiak I haven't been able to reproduce with f22 host/client running GNOME, and centos 7.1 guest (DVD installer). I'm using the keyboard arrows at the grub menu to pick "boot installer", and very first screen is language chooser so this has keyboard navigation, the arrows there are working as expected. Any chance you could try with a GNOME desktop environment ? Can you attach the output of virt-manager --debug when reproducing the issue? No response for a couple months, so closing Hi Cole Im having same issue. Here are results.
