[Niedzwiedzw]

the mouse cursor is displayed but I'm unable to move it... keyboard seems to work

[Niedzwiedzw]

[samuelzurowski]

I'm noticing this as well.

[Niedzwiedzw]

@samuelzurowski have you found any solution? are you on wayland by any chance?

[bgola]

same here, archlinux on wayland + sway.

[bgola]

I just tried with Xorg as well and same issue.

I ended up just using the vnc version of the container and preinstalled it. I do not use wayland.

Same issue. Happened to me when I swapped from the :latest tag to the :naked tag after extracting my image. Changing the RAM env variable did not help. Keyboard works during the boot selection screen, but not on the login screen. Possibly the same issue as #765 ?

Edit: Over VNC for my case. The machine running the container is headless.

[gilelias]

I had the same issue.
I found a solution:

1. Make sure you have terminal access to your container. docker exec -it [container id] bash
2. edit Launch.sh vim Launch.sh
3. replace the lines:
   -device qemu-xhci,id=xhci \ -device usb-kbd,bus=xhci.0 -device usb-tablet,bus=xhci.0 \
   with:
   -usb -device usb-kbd -device usb-tablet \
4. restart your container.

basically reverting this commit:

[erickne]

Thanks @gilelias ! The solution worked for me.

[am1006]

Thanks @gilelias! This solution works for me as well! I'm wondering why @sickcodes made the change in 756a1c0#diff-dd2c0eb6ea5cfc6c4bd4eac30934e2d5746747af48fef6da689e85b752f39557L200

[sickcodes]

Can anyone confirm if mouse doesn't work on Big Sur or later? Is only Catalina (and below) the version which had the mouse issue from the change I made?

Thank you @gilelias, your approach fixes the problem.

For those compiling Docker-OSX directly using the docker-compose.yml file at the root of the project. Here's the patch that fixed it for me, based on @gilelias comment:
