Description Yi Zhao 2013-09-02 10:15:33 UTC

Image location: http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/releases/1.5_M4.rc2/machines/qemu/qemumips/

Git rev: master/5745e45b18e5099e94b4d5a73bc97dc6d4cdc91f

Steps:
1. Download the kernel and rootfs from the autobuilder
2. Boot up the image with command: 
   runqemu qemumips vmlinux.bin core-image-sato-sdk-qemumips.ext3
3. Click the Terminal icon to launch the terminal. Can not input anything in the terminal.

This issue also happens when using nfs boot: runqemu nfs vmlinux.bin rootfs

confirm that this works with core-image-minimal. I tested that here.

This issue happens in the application "Terminal" on the sato desktop. So please use a sato or sato-sdk image to test.

Comment 3 Bruce Ashfield 2013-09-04 12:34:33 UTC

That wasn't my question. I know it happens with sato, the point being that before
uprev each and every qemu machine was booted and logged into.

Something in SDL + qemu + the new kernel is grabbing the inputs and not passing
them to X.

If you boot that same image with nographic, you'll be able to log in. And I want that
confirmed.

Comment 4 Saul Wold 2013-09-04 18:29:58 UTC

I tried this via a VNC connection which I think removes the SDL, and it still 
failed to have input.  I also tried a 3.8 kernel with the userspace and it 
worked
and a older userspace with the newer kernel (3.10) and it failed, so I am 
thinking more and more kernel related.

I have the fix. Pull request arriving shortly.

Comment 6 Ke Zou 2013-09-10 08:39:32 UTC

Terminal input OK in 1.5_M4 rc3 build

Comment 7 Ionut Chisanovici 2013-10-21 13:31:25 UTC

Verified, terminal app input is ok and working.
