Hi all!
I tested USB-keyboard redirection with spicy from the package spice-gtk to access the graphical frontends of virtual machines. During the tests I found two problems.
First, there is a permissions problem on Leap 42.2 and Tumbleweed. The command spicy -h $SERVER -p $PORT --spice-usbredir-redirect-on-connect='-1,0x$KEYBOARD_PID,0x$KEYBOARD_VID,-1,1' give raise to a window querying for the root password. However, the root-password was not accepted until I changed permissions with the following command sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper according to [1]
Second, while using above mentioned redirection for the keyboard on Leap 42.2 the numlock/capslock won't stay on. Pressing the corresponding key results in a short flash of the LED for numlock/capslock but it goes off immediately. On Tumbleweed numlock/capslock work.
Is there someone out who can fix the spice-gtk package for Leap 42.2? Does it need a bug-report to be fixed?
best regards
Thomas
