postmodernWhat solutions do Wayland users use for passing keybindings (ex: Alt-Tab) through to a VM being viewed with <code>virt-viewer</code> or <code>remote-viewer</code> in a Wayland WM? X11 had some kind of special hint to tell the WM to pass all keybindings through to the VM's viewer window. Do you just temporarily disable keybindings while viewing a VM? Is it possible to run <code>virt-viewer</code> or <code>remote-viewer</code> in a separate instance of Wayland/wlroots that only displays that windows and passes all keyboard input to it (e.g. the Wayland equivalent of <code>xinit virt-viewer ... -- :1</code>)?<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/virtviewer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#virtviewer</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/remoteviewer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#remoteviewer</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/virtmanager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#virtmanager</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/libvirt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libvirt</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/qemu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#qemu</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wayland</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/labwc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#labwc</a>

To achieve this, start in normal mode, then select view->fullscreen in the qemu window, then set the monitor resolution in the guest system to the same size as your screen.KaOS people will see that I changed the configuration a bit, but I really like it anyways. It comes with LibreOffice as well as Calligra office, and being arch/arcos based it is of course up to date and easily maintainable. I didn't try the installer, but it's calmares, which is usually working just fine.One issue with all the live images I tried so far is that they do not come with danish locale, making them unsuitable for a linux demo for danes.
