How to disable exit full screen popup in virt-manager

  • 772

I'm using virt-manager with kvm, however I've found that in fullscreen mode (with spice), the exit fullscreen popup gets in my way often.

enter image description here

Is there a way to disable this popup from showing whenever I move my mouse near it?

    Access VMs using virt-viewer instead - it has kiosk mode:

    virt-viewer --kiosk ${YOUR_VM_NAME}

    The only way to exit kiosk mode I know is to run another virt-viewer (in a separate terminal) again without --kiosk option (this will drop connection for the first one) and then you will be able to press <Ctrl> + <C> for the first one to close its windows.

    Additional benefit of virt-viewer instad of virt-manager is the ability to open all displays (for example, if your VM has several Video QXL devices, separate window will be opened for each device).
