[Touch-packages] [Bug 1670652] Re: No way to contain pointer in VM window
I can't see an option for it in virt-manager so can't fully confirm
(because I have no time to create a VM to verify for you).
Either you're unaware of Qemu's keyboard shortcut to contain the pointer
("Ctrl-Alt Toggle mouse and keyboard grab." [1]), or your VM is
defaulting to -usbdevice tablet when you want -usbdevice mouse, or you
need both.
Put another way, this is probably either user error or lack of
configuration in virt-manager. So at most it's a virt-manager bug.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1670652] Re: No way to contain pointer in VM window
Doesn't 'qemu -usbdevice mouse' constrain the pointer correctly already?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1670652] Re: No way to contain pointer in VM window
Well, for example when you run fullscreen, your pointer *is* locked to the edges. Unfortunately I can't test this works in those cases, as the VM screen resolution doesn't match the aspect ratio of the real screen 4:3 instead of 16:10 (due to a different bug), so there are black bars down the sides. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670652 Title: No way to contain pointer in VM window Status in Canonical System Image: Invalid Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: In a Qemu VM, the unity8 side gestures (for the launcher and app switcher) cannot be activated.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1670652] Re: No way to contain pointer in VM window
Don't get me wrong, I know not containing the pointer is preferable in some cases, what I'm saying is lacking, is an *option* to contain it. The pointer edge gestures in unity8 require "pushing" your pointer against the display edge, this is only possible in a VM if the cursor is confined. Trying with virt-manager, I've not found a way to confine the pointer. I'll try again using some of the options in the discussions linked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670652 Title: No way to contain pointer in VM window Status in Canonical System Image: Invalid Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: In a Qemu VM, the unity8 side gestures (for the launcher and app switcher) cannot be activated.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1670652] Re: No way to contain pointer in VM window
Comments #1 and #4 answer it all. Although comment #1 is half wrong as #4 points out. A workaround for tablet-style input exists in the form of hotkeys (comment #1). And if you really want pointer confinement then that's always been an option in how you launch Qemu/KVM (comment #4). ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670652 Title: No way to contain pointer in VM window Status in Canonical System Image: Invalid Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: In a Qemu VM, the unity8 side gestures (for the launcher and app switcher) cannot be activated.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1670652] Re: No way to contain pointer in VM window
Well, for one it is a bug for others a feature :-) Many many people consider it a huge improvement that the mouse can seamlessly leave and enter the guest GUI (for quite a few releases I think). The behavior to some extend depends on the device that is used and guest support. So depending on how you usually control/start you VM qemu/libvirt/virt-manager/... you might find good hints how to change the device types in the following links (there mostly people want it enabled, but the guides can be followed in reverse). http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/107633/how-do-i-get-my-mouse-back-from-qemu-kvm http://serverfault.com/questions/457603/any-way-to-release-focus-on-a-kvm-guest-in-virt-manager-without-having-to-click If that doesn't help you, please let me know how you manage your guests so I can focus on that. ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670652 Title: No way to contain pointer in VM window Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: In a Qemu VM, the unity8 side gestures (for the launcher and app switcher) cannot be activated.
