Summary: VNC access to KVM VM is unusable
Product: Virtualization
Version: unspecified
Kernel Version: 3.0.0-rc1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: P1
Component: kvm
AssignedTo: virtualization_kvm@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
ReportedBy: stefan.bosak@gmail.com
Regression: No

Kernels: 2.6.39-git8 - 3.0.0-rc1
QemuKVM: latest from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git

After try access to VNC console of KVM VM
keyboard and video interactions is not proceed
by VM. Newly created VM without OS which started
for installation process of any OS dropped
interactions after few inputs from user, host
and hosted machine running without problems.
I have tested this on 3 independent servers,
3 independent workstations.

Used VNC clients:
- from Linux: TightVNC Viewer version 1.3.10
- from Windows: RealVNC Viewer 4.1.3

Other activities except VNC access are OK.

Kernel: 2.6.39-rc1-git2
QemuKVM: latest from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git

On this server VNC access to all KVM VM works well.

Please try to test VNC access to KVM VM
and fix issue when problem occurs. As
I can see some fixes for input and tty
are in kernel 3.0.0-rc2.

Thank you for your time.
