Description of problem: I am just trying to use a Windows 10 guest in gnome boxes, but the keyboard keeps going dead ALL THE TIME. Keypresses just stop doing anything, and then after a minute or two all the piled up keypresses spam into the guest. Obviously, it's barely possible to navigate the guest in a useful way with this going on. dmesg output which looks relevant: [214773.440215] kvm: zapping shadow pages for mmio generation wraparound [214783.886001] kvm [12119]: vcpu2 unhandled rdmsr: 0x641 [215380.386353] kvm [12119]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0x641 [219823.460666] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered disabled state [219823.462730] device tap0 left promiscuous mode [219823.462747] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered disabled state [219828.973166] device tap0 entered promiscuous mode [219828.975596] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered listening state [219828.975610] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered listening state [219830.257158] kvm: zapping shadow pages for mmio generation wraparound [219830.982377] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered learning state [219832.986688] virbr0: topology change detected, propagating [219832.986696] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered forwarding state [219845.881587] kvm [28443]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0x641 [220294.395180] kvm [28443]: vcpu2 unhandled rdmsr: 0x641 [223398.338861] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered disabled state [223398.342011] device tap0 left promiscuous mode [223398.342033] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered disabled state [223405.384781] device tap0 entered promiscuous mode [223405.385008] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered listening state [223405.385018] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered listening state [223407.390436] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered learning state [223409.394743] virbr0: topology change detected, propagating [223409.394755] virbr0: port 2(tap0) entered forwarding state Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 3.16.2 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install & launch Windows 10 VM in gnome boxes 2. Use it for a while. Make sure to search for things in the task bar search thing quite often to give it something to do - CPU load seems to be vaguely relevant Actual results: Keyboard periodically stops working Expected results: Keyboard keeps working Additional info:
Is it helping if you remove the USB keyboard? From a terminal, virsh list --all (find the name of your win10 VM) virsh edit $win10-vm Remove the line reading <input type='keyboard' bus='usb'/> Then try shutting down the VM, and restarting it.

I just saw this happening again after a long time on Fedora 24 :-/ I will try the suggested workaround, although just for what it's worth: there is no external USB keyboard attached since it's a laptop.
Sadly I still don't know how to reproduce it willingly. That I haven't seen it for half a year is both a mix of that, and that I used another pc predominantly where I currently use Virtualbox for virtualization for unrelated reasons. However, I removed the usb keyboard for now. I'll try to use this computer and gnome-boxes more often so I can give a better feedback on whether it changes anything.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. 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 '24'. 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 24 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.
