# TODO

## Fixes

* [x] Support for `virt-viewer` is currently broken (as of 2024-08-04).

* [x] Improve xandr handling.

## Usability

* [ ] Submit patch for spice-client-gtk for menuless windows (spice usecase) to
      Debian.

* [ ] Docs (tutorial and manpage).

* [ ] Makefile and debian package.

* [ ] Systemd service for a single VM.

* [ ] Shell completions.

* [ ] Support for other Spice clients such as [Remmina](https://remmina.org).

* [ ] Support for user-wide configurations that override both the sample and the
      guest `kvmxfile`.

* [ ] Support for multiple source/targets pairs (analogous to `shared_folders`) at:
  * [ ] `provision_rsync`.

* [ ] Be more distro-agnostic, making any debian-specific routine as a separate function.

* [ ] Be more agnostic on some personal choices (locales, softwares etc).

* [ ] Support for per-guest `known_hosts` for SSH logins.

## Virtualization

* [ ] Config option to [disable
      networking](https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Networking#How_to_disable_network_completely),
      passing `-net none`.

* [ ] [Nested virtualization](http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=275)
      ([1](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KVM#Nested_virtualization),
      [2](https://ladipro.wordpress.com/2017/02/24/running-hyperv-in-kvm-guest/)).

## Folder sharing

* [ ] Mount/umount/remount commands to manage shared folders.

* [ ] Try to umount all sshfs volumes in the host when powering off.

* [ ] Remount 9p shared folders and reinitialize spice-vdagent upon resume from
      disk [see possible bug](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1333072).

* [ ] Support for [virtiofs](https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/howto-qemu.html).

## Audio fixes to avoid crackling on input

* [ ] Implement an option to reduce crackling on sound input.

The fix involves setting the following variables:

    export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV="pa"
    export QEMU_PA_SAMPLES="8192"
    export QEMU_AUDIO_TIMER_PERIOD="99"

## Simultaneous clients connections

    export SPICE_DEBUG_ALLOW_MC=1
