Release mouse pointer but not keyboard focus
by Jerry James 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

I have a small collection of virtual machines on a Fedora 10 x86_64 host. I created them with virt-manager. On occasion, when I release the pointer with Ctrl-Alt, the mouse pointer is released, but the keyboard focus is not. So I can click in other host windows, but anything I type continues to go to the virtual window that last had focus. Has anybody else seen this? I've seen it in a Fedora Rawhide guest on one host, and in a CentOS 5.3 guest on a different host (both hosts are F-10 x86_64). I'd file a bug, but I'm not sure what component is causing the problem. Thanks, -- Jerry James http://loganjerry.googlepages.com/

f11 virt release notes freezing
by Dale Bewley 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

I've been busy at my day job and not paying close enough attention to Fedora 11 docs deadlines. Apparently the window for changes essentially closes Wednesday (today).[1] The notes are essentially in place. I don't think there are any gaping holes, but I should have prompted for feedback much sooner. If you could apply any love to the release notes[2] it would be appreciated. = QEMU / KVM = It is noted that QEMU and KVM are merging as a package, but I've also separately listed the fact that QEMU is now 0.10.0 and KVM is now 84. With the merge, might it be confusing or inaccurate to mention a distinct new version of KVM? I'll admit to being somewhat fuzzy on where/how that line is drawn. I see[3] QEMU 0.10.0 in rawhide, but not 0.10.1, so I adjusted the version in the relnotes. I copied the feature list from the 0.10.0 release announcement. If you'd care to suggest deletes or enhancements of the list please do. The KVM changelog since 74 (version at initial F10 release) is quite long and not easily digestible by me at this late hour. Would anyone care to offer some highlights or fill them into the wiki? Or, again, should those be folded into QEMU? = Libvirt = I previously copied the list of changes from the releases, but did not try to prune them down. It may be fine. = The Current Outline = 1 Virtualization * 1.1 Improved VNC Authentication for Virtual Machine Management * 1.2 Improved Graphical Console for Virtual Machines * 1.3 KVM PCI Device Assignment * 1.4 KVM and QEMU merge * 1.5 SVirt Mandatory Access Control * 1.6 Other Improvements * 1.6.1 QEMU Updated to 0.10.0 * 1.6.2 KVM Updated to 84 * 1.6.3 libvirt Updated to 0.6.1 * 1.6.4 virt-manager Updated to 0.7.0 * 1.6.5 virtinst Updated to 0.400.3 * 1.6.6 Xen Updated to 3.3.1 * 1.7 Xen Kernel Support Thanks for any edits or suggestions you can offer.
