Description dns2utf8 2017-08-22 06:18:59 UTC

Description:
Using Qemu works in general, but the arrow and page keys do not work.
The same command works with Gnome3 wayland and Plasma X11.

I started Qemu like this:
qemu-system-x86_64 -k de-ch -cpu host -enable-kvm -smp 2 -m 4096 -usb -usbdevice tablet -hda ~/kvm/arch_wayland.qcow2 -name "Arch_Wayland" -vga qxl

Additional info:
* qemu 2.9.0-3
* plasma-wayland-session 5.10.4-2
* gnome-session 3.24.1-1


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Plasma with wayland-session on Arch Linux
2. Run Qemu and press the arrow keys in the bootloader or any other state -> nothing happens
3. PageUp will insert a Slash

Please ensure that you have all required runtime dependencies such as libinput installed and working.

I'm sorry, but this is not a task for us to handle. This is integration work which the distribution has to take care of.
