https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D246321 Bug ID: 246321 Summary: Key press timing/repeat issue on UEFI VNC console for OpenBSD =3D> 6.6 guest Product: Base System Version: Unspecified Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bhyve Assignee: virtualization@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jason@tubnor.net When using the UEFI terminal console for an OpenBSD 6.6 or later guest, the= re appears to be some sort of timing issue with the emulated VNC keyboard. Aft= er booting the installer or and installed 6.6/6.7 operating system, a key press can exhibit shorter than usual delay before repeat, therefor echoing more characters than desired into the console as well as an increase in the character repeat per second. Another side affect is the login delay time. This is usually set to 300 sec= onds on a a default install. If you try logging into the console, this delay ti= me reduces to 58 seconds. How to reproduce (this was tested on a variety of hardware including Xeon a= nd Atom based hosts): Using 11.3 to 13-HEAD, configure a bhyve guest and install from miniroot66.= fs or miniroot67.fs https://openbsd.cs.toronto.edu/pub/OpenBSD/6.6/amd64/miniroot66.fs https://openbsd.cs.toronto.edu/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/miniroot67.fs Once at the Install/Upgrade prompt, select Shell. Start typing a sentence = as you normally do to see the issue. To replicate the shortened timeout issue on the login prompt, either try to= get the install down with the key press issue, install using miniroot65.fs[1] a= nd then perform a syspatch/sysupgrade to bring it up to 6.6 or install via UEFI-serial and at the OpenBSD boot loader, issue 'set tty com0' to install= via the bhyve serial console. Once installed, type root and the incorrect password. Start a timing device to see the difference between the reported= 300 seconds of timeout and the actual time elapsed.
