Description Ed Greshko 2021-02-14 04:13:39 UTC

Description of problem: Desktop does not auto-resize when the console window of
a KDE qemu guest is expanded/shrunk.  Also, unable to change the display size
with system-settings


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sddm-0.19.0-7.fc34


How reproducible: Install KDE spin from Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-34-20210212


Steps to Reproduce:
1. After login expand/shrink console window
2. 
3.

Actual results: Desktop size does not change


Expected results: Desktop expands/shrinks to take up the entire console window.


Additional info:  qemu host is F33 system.  If one uses gdm, auto-resize works.
A F33 guest with sddm-0.19.0-6.fc33 also works

Comment 2 Ed Greshko 2021-07-14 08:55:23 UTC

This problem is actually caused by spice-vdagent not being started for a user when they login.

This is due to the /etc/xdg/autostart/spice-vdagent.desktop being ignored at login.

Providing an alternate method to start that process at user login fixes the issue.
