bob123Hi all. I would appreciate your help! I constantly get an error related to the kernel!17:52
bob123kernel: [  362.059103] psmouse serio1: VMMouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 117:52
bob1232024-01-29T11:06:02.376836-05:00 bob123 kernel: [  362.059948] psmouse serio1: VMMouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 - driver resynced.17:52
bob123Please tell me how to solve this problem17:52
bob123sudo dmesg -t | grep psm17:53
djphbob123: quick google says it's a problem with your hypervisor17:55
djphor well, seems to be anyway; not a whole lot of "answer" type info17:58
bob123djph thanks for the answer . It won't be difficult for you to read this link, I found different answers (not the same) and the dmesg command points to the kernel17:59
bob123 kernel: [  362.059103] psmouse serio1: VMMouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 118:00
djphwell, yeah, it's the guest kernel getting 'strange' info from the faked hardware in the hypervisor (er, least as I'm reading it)18:04
bob123That is, on my Devuan machine (guest kernel), I get strange information from the local machine (Devuan). How critical is this and is it possible to fix it? I changed mice, but it didn't help.18:11
djphbob123: as in 'changed the mouse in the hypervisor' ?18:18
bob123no, I meant physically replacing the mouse. If you know how to change it in the hypervisor, let's try it. I'm worried about why it shows a kernel error...18:22
djphbob123: wait, that *IS* the guest crying about the mouse, right?18:25
djphor am I completely mis-interpreting everything and it's the HOST pitching a fit?18:25
bob123Yes, you are right, it is the guest who has problems, not the host machine.18:36
djphbob123: well, then changing the physical mouse on the host isn't gonna do anything for the guest ...19:14
bob123_yes, I already understood that) that’s why I’m looking for answers, no one knows anything unfortunately.... everyone has different versions19:21
djphbob123_: again, looks like an issue with the implementation of "a mouse" by qemu/kvm in general (or rather "which mouse" it presents itself as)19:27
debdogI wonder whether actually is a problem or just some message causing one?19:28
djphmy kvm here is just 'ps2' for the mouse bus (i.e. <input type="mouse" bus="ps2"> )19:30
bob123_I'm experiencing bigger problems than just a message in dmesg, the cursor starts moving to the side on its own .. it's annoying ..19:36
rwpbob123_, I use kvm with libvirt and if I use a standard PS2 mouse driver then I find that it just can't "keep up" with relative coordinate movement.  It's annoying.  The usual answer and I think the default is to have an X-Y tablet configured.  Mine says EvTouch USB Tablet (it's all virtual) and it provides absolutely coordinate.  The tablet input using absolute coordinates works so well that I find it impossible to tell that it is19:41
rwpvirtualized.19:41
bob123_Thank you for your answer . I'll look at the documentation on how to use qemu and the mouse.20:27
bob123_<rwp>20:28
rwpGood luck!20:29
rwpBut yes with the relative coordinate mouse it is just too annoying to use.  But with the virtualized tablet input device proving absolute X-Y coordinates things work perfectly.20:30
bob123_-device usb-mouse -device usb-kbd20:33
bob123_maybe this will work...20:33
rwpMy libvirt command line is ten miles long but includes this: -device usb-tablet,id=input0,bus=usb.0,port=120:34
rwpSo I think if you want to try the tablet input that you will need to use the usb-tablet device option.20:35
bob123_Got it, I'll try, thank you very much for your help20:39
