Hi All,

I just installed Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso
on an qemu-kvm virtual machine.

Problem:  my mouse is confined to the VM, unless
I throw <ctrl><alt><L>.  But when I do so, KDE also
logs me out and I have to log back into KDE
every time and my mouse gets re-confined.

This behavior is unique to KDE's VM, as it does not do it
on Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows 11, Fedora 34 Xfce,
or (weird old) Fedora Gnome VM's.

How do I stop this behavour in KDE?   I need to mouse
not to be confined.

Ctrl-Alt (without the L) works for me.

Hi Patrick,

AWESOME!!!  Thank you!

The writing on the top of the vm still says the L

-T

It does let me out without triggering KDE's screen lock,
but getting back into KDE and the mouse gets confined again.
So one step forward, one to go!

:-)


Spice-vdagent is installed (on KDE).

If it helps, the clipboard does not work between
the host and the client either.

This is cured with Windows clarinets by installing
spice guest tools.  spice-vdagent is the guest
tools for Linux.


manually running spice-vdagent fixes the confinement
problem, but not the clipboard.  Not to find out how
                                   Now   typo
to start spice-vdagent at boot

I take that back on the clipboard.  It is the kconsole
that won't clip back and forth.  Everything else does
