[Share keyboard/mouse between 2 VMs?]

It works great for me, but I'm using two monitors, not one, which I think is the normal use case for it. It auto-switches to the other VM when you get to the edge of the screen.

 

For using it on one monitor only, I think it would work out OK. The Scroll lock button will force the mouse pointer to stay on one computer at a time.

 

This doesn't work that well for games though, so if that's what you're going for, make sure to run the synergy server on that VM that is running your games, not the one running the client.

 

Another idea is to use an actual KVM switch. Or a physical USB switching device (and passthrough entire USB controller)

[Nested Virtualization?]

Thanks! This works great. This let's me use vagrant now from within my VM.

 

To make this a permanent setting (survive reboot), go to your main page of the unraid console, click on your Flash drive, and edit the syslinux configuration.

 

From here you can add the correct kernel boot parameter: kvm_intel.nested=1

 

Mine looks like:

 

 

label unRAID OS

  menu default

  kernel /bzimage

  append initrd=/bzroot kvm_intel.nested=1

 

Hopefully new versions of UnRAID will include this setting out of the box.
