[Bug 782171] Re: Keyboard input processed twice, both on vt1 and vt7
This is getting really problematic: I also observed the issue on the base machine, not only within virtualbox guest. The effect there is in most cases that an open login session remains on tty1, that contains the passwords in plaintext in some .vim file. Cause: During double command execution, quite some commands work even when executed twice, e.g. "ls". Since graphical desktop contains multiple xterms, but all commands on tty1 are executed in one shell, thus some combinations do not make sense any more (e.g. the GUI combination xterm1: "cd tmp"; xterm2: "su -s /bin/bash \n dhclient eth0\n cd \"; xterm1: "rm -rf -- *" might be the most lethal leading to complete data loss). On my machine, quite some events ended with vim open on tty1 in some exotic mode. When I lock the graphical desktop and leave the machine, tty1 will be still open to anyone who knows about the problem and vim might contain username/password or sudo/ssh-keypassphrases in plaintext in vim edit mode. Workaround (has worked so far): Press [Ctrl]-C on xdm login screen, this restarts xdm. Afterwards tty1/tty7 are uncoupled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782171 Title: Keyboard input processed twice, both on vt1 and vt7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+bug/782171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I wouldn't have thought that the keyboard issue is related to VirtualBox, as we simply emulate a standard PS/2 keyboard which should be handled in the kernel and transparent to the layers above. The X server crash might be - I assume that you have vboxvideo loaded into both servers, and having it running twice has been tested, but not extensively. On the other hand, I usually expect to see vboxvideo at least somewhere in the backtrace if it is related to the problem. If this is still relevant to you would you be able to tell us what version of the VirtualBox guest additions you have installed and provide Xorg.*.log files for both X servers? Note that we fixed a bug in version 4.1.4 of the Additions which can cause text console corruption when switching out of an X server. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782171 Title: Keyboard input processed twice, both on vt1 and vt7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+bug/782171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
