[libvirt-users] Windows guest skipping chkdsk if using Spice display
Hi all, as per subject, when a Windows guest using a Spice display is rebooted with a planned chkdsk, the consistency check is always skipped. It seems that the Spice display issues some "phantom" keystrokes, which are then intended by Windows as the "skip chkdsk at boot" signal. I tried to use a Spice display with no additional features (ie: USB redirection), but to no avail. To workaround the problem I must use a VNC display, which is less featureful than the Spice one. My system and package versions are: CentOS 7.5 x86-64 spice-gtk3-0.34-3.el7_5.1.x86_64 spice-server-0.14.0-2.el7_5.4.x86_64 spice-glib-0.34-3.el7_5.1.x86_64 libvirt-3.9.0-14.el7_5.7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-ev-2.10.0-21.el7_5.4.1.x86_64 It seems I am not the only one experiencing this problem: http://seifesrants.blogspot.com/2016/07/ghost-keystrokes-with-libvirt-kvm-sp...

Hi all, nobody has similar problems with the Spice display? Regards. -- Danti Gionatan Supporto Tecnico Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it email: g.danti@assyoma.it - info@assyoma.it GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8

This doesn't really sound like a libvirt issue, CCing spice list for investigation. Erik
