I am new to KVM, having run VMware Server (free version) for
several years.
I have the current version of KVM running on CentOS 5.8 with all
updates applied. This is running on a SuperMicro mini-tower with
8GB RAM. /proc/cpuinfo shows this as 'Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
X3430 @ 2.40GHz'. This is not running SeLinux.
I have created a Win7 Pro VM with 2GB RAM, and 50GB disk image.
The Win7 install is vanilla with all Microsoft updates installed.
I am accessing this system remotely via an OpenVPN tunnel from a
Macbook Pro running OS X 10.7.4 Lion and the latest version of
XQuartz xterms. The mid-2009 Macbook Pro has 8GB RAM.
That said, my problem is that running the console of virt-manager
open to the Win7 VM with nothing but Internet Explorer on the
Win7 system, something causes X11 on my machine here to lose all
connection with the keyboard until I go to X11 in the top menu,
hide the X11 Windows, then display them again. After doing that,
I have keyboard again for the 22+ xterms I have open, but the
virt-manager and its Virtual Machine window are blank and
unresponsive to any input short of 'xkill'.
I have restarted libvirtd manually, rebooted the system, and
this still occurs.
FWIW, The 'virt-who' service fails on startup with an entry in the
/var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log file saying No option 'consumercertdir' in
section: 'rhsm' in the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file.
Any clues to what is going on here?
The keyboard focus issue is something that some have occasionally
reported, but I haven't been able to isolate the cause. It seems to
happen extremely rarely, but if you have a case which is triggering it
more frequently, I'd be curious to know if you have exact reproducible
steps to get it into this case.
As for the hide/show causing the windows to no longer show contents,
can you tell me a bit more about these windows? How are they being
rendered? Are they using GLX or just normal X11 windows? If GLX, it
may be an issue with the context vanishing on hide.
