[Bug 87262] Re: Virtual PC and feisty fawn
As requested by Leann Ogasawara: I have confirmed this to an issue in Ubuntu 8.04.1 (Hardy) with kernel 2.6.24-19-386. This problem also affects the lastest linux kernel and at the time I wrote this it was, 2.6.25.6. Adding i8042.noloop to the kernel parameters fixes the problem in hardy as well as the 2.6.25.6 kernel. Maybe this kernel option should be added permanently to the kernel options (from the stock setup) -- at least until the actual problem is fixed. -- Virtual PC and feisty fawn https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87262 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 87262] Re: Virtual PC and feisty fawn
I'm just curious why this report is also targeted against the Hardy kernel but there are no comments here regarding this being in issue with Hardy. I'm marking this Invalid against the Hardy kernel for now until we receive further information. Also, I'm reassigning the Ubuntu Hardy kernel source package from 'linux-source-2.6.24' to just 'linux'. Beginning with the Hardy release the package naming convention changed from linux-source-2.6.x to just linux. Sorry for any confusion.

indianabeck: the two byte patch will only work on 2.6.20-15.27 (not the latest 2.6.20-16.28). Adding the kernel parameter i8042.noloop is a better way, this is effectively what the two byte patch achieves, and it is kernel version independent. -- Virtual PC and feisty fawn https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87262 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

How did you calculate the offset to the patched code in the patch script above? I want to apply the same patch to the new security update kernel 2.6.20-16.28 which has been published.

[Bug 87262] Re: Virtual PC and feisty fawn
I don't remember precisely how I got the offset. Basically, I went to build the kernel the normal ubuntu way, but I changed the 250ms to something else, which ended up being easily searchable. Then also, somehow, due to some bug in the build process, I ended up with an uncompressed vmlinux... Then I found, inside the vmlinux, the 'easily searchable' number from above, I disassembled the bytes around it and figured out which ones matched with which source lines... and, well, there ya go.

Also, I said in my description above that:
Basically all it does is change the bytes corresponding to line 631, from
msecs_to_jiffies(250)) == 0) {
to
msecs_to_jiffies(250)) + 2) {
That's just not true... It does the opposite. It's more like
msecs_to_jiffies(250)) == -2) {

[Bug 87262] Re: Virtual PC and feisty fawn
No, the idea is that once you enter a working VM, mouse and keyboard are captured by the virtual machine and the host machine cannot see them. You press a key, usually Right Alt (but this is user configurable), to tell the VM to let go and allow you to do other things on the host machine (answer emails, move a card in solitare, etc.) This is not germane to the current bug, because the VM is not even grabbing the mouse. The bug must somehow tell Virtual PC that the VM doesn't need the mouse, so its not really being captured, as far as I can tell. -- Virtual PC and feisty fawn https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87262 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 87262] Re: Virtual PC and feisty fawn
I confirm that I have the same problem. My virtual Edgy install worked OK, but I upgraded to Feisty via the Update Manager and now the mouse does not work. The Virtual PC software does not appear to 'capture' the mouse pointer when you click on the virtual machine. Normally the windows pointer disappears and the virtual machine pointer starts to move (but is trapped inside the virtual machine). You must release the pointer by pressing a magic key. It seems it is the capture process that is not working which suggests to me that the Virtual PC software does not think that the host machine has mouse support. -- Virtual PC and feisty fawn https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87262 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well, if you really cannot wait for a fix, there is a very bad alternative: the accessibility options. Use alt-F1 to access the menu options, and use the keyboard to move over to preferences - keyboard. You can use the tab key to move among the options, and go down to accessibility. You can then enable the accessibility options, tab over to mouse and enable mouse keys. Now, you can use the keyboard number keys to move the mouse around.
