(shift+f12) doesn't work - can't escape from spice inside vnc
Last modified: 2014-02-05 17:10:45 EST
Description of problem: When using Remmina to connect to a VNC session (over SSH), pressing Shift+F12 does not seem to actually send both keys at the same time. This means you can't regain cursor control from a spice session running inside the vnc session. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): remmina and remmina-plugins-vnc 1.0.0-7.fc18 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to a VNC session with Remmina 2. Open a spice session inside your VNC session (ex: i've connected to a RHEL6 desktop and am using RHEV/Ovirt to spice session into a guest) 3. Click inside the spice session 4. Press Shift+F12 to regain cursor control Actual results: Only F12 is sent Expected results: Shift+F12 should be sent Additional info:
Frankly speaking I have never heard of that key combination. Where do you have this from?
The spice client, which is used to view virtual machines using the spice protocol, uses the Shift+F12 key combination to release the cursor. This is similar to Ctrl+Alt or other combinations that other solutions use (VMWare, virt-manager, etc). Ovirt/RHEV use Spice for connecting to virtual machines.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
