Ernest, Where did you put your "use_usb_tablet=true" config option?!
The doc http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/config-reference/content/nova-conf-changes-icehouse.html recommends under [libvirt] group... I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 + IceHouse and I configured this option within the file "/etc/nova/nova-compute.conf" with at: -- [libvirt] use_usb_tablet=true -- But, it have no effect. I'm seeing the following line at the logs: -- nova-compute.log:2014-07-21 20:53:42.782 7435 DEBUG nova.openstack.common.service [-] libvirt.use_usb_tablet = True log_opt_values /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oslo/config/cfg.py:1949 -- But the Instance's XML have no "tablet" entry. I checked it via both logs and using "virsh dumpxml instance-xxxxxxxx"... What am I missing? I really appreciate any help! Tks! BTW, I'm using SPICE Consoles... Cheers!
