Description of problem: I have a Windows 8.1 guest (KVM) on my Fedora 21 host. When I run a 'Gnome on Wayland' session, and I connect to my virtual machine with virt-viewer, it ignores the keys I am typing. The console shows this error message: (virt-viewer:3478): GSpice-CRITICAL **: send_key: assertion 'scancode != 0' failed It does work with Xorg instead of wayland. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * virt-viewer-1.0-2.fc21.x86_64 * libwayland-server-1.6.0-1.fc21.x86_64 * libwayland-client-1.6.0-1.fc21.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect to virtual machine with virt-viewer 2. try typing things Actual results: nothing happens Expected results: see characters and moving cursor
Yep, this is a bug in gtk-vnc. It needs to be extended to understand the scancode mapping that Wayland uses. If we're lucky it will be using plain evdev scancodes, if we're unlucky .....
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
Pretty sure this is fixed in the latest fedora releases, there's several gtk-vnc commits that reference wayland keymap fixes
