Description René 2013-03-05 11:52:03 UTC
I have a Windows 7 guest on my Linux debian with libvirt from SID (0.9.12-7) kvm (1.1.2+dfsg-5) and spice guest tools (0.52) client, every time I save the VM status it goes OK, but when I'm trying to resume it afterwards the machine seems to go up OK, but when I try to click anywhere on the VM it does not respond (the mouse moves) I also noticed that on the spicec status bar the legend now reads: agent: no, where before it was yes.

Any hints on what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

Can you try to disable the blnsrv.exe service? (you can delete the exe) It seems to be causing some stability issues, so i'd like to check first if it's causing these problems too.
Comment 2 René 2013-03-06 10:40:10 UTC
Thanks a lot for the quick response.

This is not the reason in my case as I only have the Balloon driver 
installed but not the service itself.

Any further things I can try?

You can also uninstall the vioserial driver, this will break the agent, but it has caused similar issues in the past.
Comment 4 René 2013-03-06 17:33:13 UTC
But then, if I undestand correctly I will lose auto resolution resizing to the 
window and Clipboard sharing right?, which are the exact reasons why 
I'm using spice.

Thanks a lot!

I mean, try removing it, and see if the bug is gone, this way we'll have a better idea of why this bug happen. Once you have tested that, you can reinstall it to get c&p/resolution back. It's just for testing that I'm suggesting removing it ;)

Hi again, sorry for my soooo late response I was crazily busy.

I tested disabling the vioserial driver and now effectively it is able to 
suspend properly. Reenabling it as expected reverts the problem back.

Another issue I dectected (I don't know if related) is that when Windows 
7 turns off the "monitor" after a period of time th e VM crashes, disabling 
PM facilities, i.e., instructing windows not to suspend the monitor solves 
the issue.

Thanks a lot for looking at the issue.
