This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. 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 prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping bumping to rawhide so bugzapper doesn't close this. Anyone have an opinion on this? The RFE has been kicking around for a 2.5 years without comment, if it's not anything we will ever do it should just be closed IMO I'm against closing this. The ten years old vmware console is still ten times easier and more consistent to use than virt-viewer. 1) shouldn't be an issue (at least with remote-viewer+SPICE), there's a keyboard shortcut to ungrab the keyboard/mouse (ctrl+alt by default if I'm not mistaken) As for 2), can ctrl+alt+f1 be passed to guest using a linux vmware client? Same question with ctrl+alt+del with windows vmware clients if you have experience with these. 2) yes. I haven't used these in a while but I remember that unless I pressed and released the ungrab combo (Both CTRLs?) I could send the machine anything, including ctr+alt+f2 --- I remember this pretty clearly as I was working on Anaconda then and the shortcut is used often during debugging. Going to KVM+virt-viewer was a disappointment then. Still not working optimally in F19. In fact, it's hard to say anything is improving in virt-viewer besides it getting slower. Since this is an RFC, moving to the upstream tracker Closing since no one seems to have concrete proposals to actually fix this in 9 years & the original reporter's account is closed. Keeping it open isn't helping |
