[Bug 410733] New: GNOME screensaver kicks in when using KVM fullscreen
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=410733 Summary: GNOME screensaver kicks in when using KVM fullscreen Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: michael.monreal@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- This is probably more like a Qemu/KVM bug but I didn't know where else to file. Please re-assign as needed. Problem: running Qemu/KVM fullscreen for a longer period is not possible without interruption as qemu will enter window mode as soon as the screensaver is activated. One problem seems to be that the screensaver (and GNOME in general) is not aware of keyboard/mouse events sent to the VM. The other problem is that Qemu does not just disregard the screensaver (I know totem and evince can prevent the screensaver from kicking in in fullscreen mode). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't agree and I really don't see how virt-manager could correctly address those issues at all. On #kvm people said disabling screensaver and power management while running a VM was the solution but I only see this as a (bad) workaround. I understand KVM is mainly targeted at the server right now but I still see the personal/desktop use case as a valid and very important one. Everyone using KVM like the VMWare desktop product or VirtualBox will probably run into those issues as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

KVM should not let the screensaver kick in when running in full screen mode. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
