Re: [orca-list] Passing keys to guest in virt-manager

[Reece O'Bryan <reeceobryan icloud com>]

>>>> as I
understand it, the handling of whether the keys go to the host or guest
is done differently between VirtualBox and virt-manager. In my
understanding, in VirtualBox keypresses go by default to the guest
except if pressed with right control, in which case they go to the host.
Whereas in virt-manager there are two modes, one for host and one for
guest, and one switches between theses two modes by pressing
control-alt-g.

Can somebody either confirm if this is right or, if it's wrong, correct
me?

Did you find if this is correct or not? I have had a great deal of trouble with the exact same problem you are facing. Very frustrating to try to give input on a guest machine and it keeps going to host instead. I almost wish there were an optional orca setting for a call out that would tell you, “guest command x y z” or even ,“now using host”.

Thank you,

Regarding networking, both VirtManager/qemu and VirtualBox get

basic internet access out of the box. The only time you would

need to do bridging and things of that sort would be if you need

to be able to talk to your virtual machine for example over ssh

either from your LAN or from the internet, or if you need to run

a server from it that is accessible to either your LAN or the

internet. Your virtual machines, both in qemu/VirtManager and in

VirtualBox can already access the internet without having to

bridge or set up anything extra on the host.
