I added a rtl8139c netcard to the VM and connected through it by RDP - no more freezes.
It looks like kvm does not play well with virtio network cards and RDP. Red Hat virtio net windows driver version: 62.65.104.6500, 6/19/2013 I left the RH adapter on the VM, I just connect via RDP through the rtl8139c network card. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1180777 Title: RDP traffic freeze on quiet network Status in QEMU: New Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Debian GNU/Linux: New Bug description: To summarize what I think has been found so far, 1. The main symptom is that RDP connections hang after some time 2. This bug affects qemu 1.0 .. 1.6.5 3. This bug affects at least windows xp and windows 7 guests 4. Keeping another network connection open, such as vnc, prevents the RDP connection from hanging. ======================================== Hi, I have recently setup a Windows 7 VM on KVM and started using it through remote desktop. What happens is that, after some hours of usage, the remote desktop connection freezes. I thought it was a remmina bug, as the it was enough to kill and restart it to successfully connect again to the VM. However, today I've switched to a different RDP client (2X Client chromium app) and the freeze just happened again! Some information: - the host and the VM are completely idle when the freeze occurs - I've tried sniffing the network packets toward the RDP port during the freeze and found that the client is sending packets but no packet is sent back Could this be a KVM issue? How can I further debug this one (I expect the freeze to happen again...)?
