Created attachment 1840469 [details] virtual machine definition from virsh dumpxml Description of problem: On fedora 34, virt-viewer had a "Send Key" menu which allowed me to send keystrokes such as "Ctrl-Alt-Del" to the Windows 10 virtual machine I have. This worked fine on f34. On fedora 35, the nice text menus disappeared, but trying meaningless icons at random on the menu bar finally found the one with the list of keystrokes to send, but every entry is grayed out and clicking has no effect. Hopefully if this isn't an actual error, when this bug gets closed someone will mention how to fix it :-). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-viewer-10.0-4.fc35.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% of the time with my Windows 10 virtual machine. I also just started an ubuntu virtual machine and it acts the same way, all entries disabled in menu. Steps to Reproduce: 1.start virtual machine in virt viewer 2.bring down send key menu 3.see all entries disabled Actual results: can't seed keys Expected results: able to send keys Additional info:
I note that if I open the virtual machine from the virt-manager app, the Send Key menu does work, but the separate virt-viewer doesn't work.
The fedora34 partition I'm no longer running still exists on my system, and if I try this script, I get a Send Key menu that works: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/fedora34/usr/lib64:/fedora34/lib64 /fedora34/usr/bin/virt-viewer "$@" The more things I try, the more this looks like a real bug and not some mysterious user error.
Confirmed; last week I updated to F35, the "virtual keyboard" doesn't work anymore.
Yes, there's some screw ups with the key menu that are fixed in upstream virt-viewer we need to backport.
