The issue still continues if I give -e RAM=some number. But if I don't give any -e RAM value. There is no issue.

Yes because I updated 2GB to 3GB

You cannot use all of your RAM, use a little bit less because the guest will use ALL of it 😂

I have 16GB ram and I sent the command with -e RAM=10. Still mouse stucks.

Yes I received the email I'm not sure how to approach it on windows but perhaps changing usb-tablet inside of qemu might solve it. Or is there a way you can choose mouse settings in Windows in relation to this hypervisor?

Hmmmm

Can you paste the command you used with OSX-KVM That was successful?

I will see what the difference is and add a WINDOWS tag to make sure the dockerfile runs like it should on WSL2 :)

Thank you for testing that

It's a low raw issue if it happens inside macOS, how much ram are you giving it?

Sorry, usb-tablet might be the issue/solution. I will organize a a WSL2 this week to test on

I'm not sure - I ran the "insta run" first, then read instructions and fixed some things later :)
Is there a quick fix I can try? I can attach or ssh into the container. When it freezes I can sometimes see activity in OSX like a cursor blinking and the Qemu menu seems OK. Other times I can't tell and Qemu seems locked up, could be a different issue.

I have Catalina running which is pretty sweet - thanks!

I think this is 100% a qemu/X11 issue. I was seeing mouse/keyboard/display freezes. I tried usb-mouse too - barely usable and eventually froze too but bought me enough time to enable SSH and VNC on the guest. Any time the display/mouse was frozen I could still ssh into the guest and shutdown -r

remote-vnc direct to the guest worked fine - no issues as long as I didn't try anything in the qemu/X window.

Maybe an X11 server or DISPLAY issue? I'm using VcXsrv Jan 2021 and TCP/network connection.

Gave up on X and using -nographic -serial null -spice disable-ticketing,port=3001 with spice.
Working well with remote-viewer version 10 - just download and install from https://virt-manager.org/download/
Older remote-viewer version 6 and 7 from Ubuntu have mouse issues and are unusable.

Sound works too with remote-viewer 10.0 if you install missing DLLs from older versions

RAM=half
AUDIO_DRIVER="spice"

The only problem with remote-viewer is that it always grabs the mouse - I don't know if there's a seamless option.

I have -vga virtio as well but I'm not sure this is any faster - System Info doesn't show the Apple virtio graphics kexts.

At some point I did a restart within macOS and graphics/booting was noticeably faster - pretty comparable to RDP/remote desktop and can watch some YouTube.
