[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1713328] [NEW] Unable to C-a in -nographic if -serial telnet

[Dario Niedermann]

Public bug reported:

qemu-system-i386 (version 2.6.1, running on Linux/x86_64) started with:

qemu-system-i386 -m 64M -machine type=pc -rtc base=localtime,clock=host
-nographic -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:1234,server,nowait -net
nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2200-:22,tftp=/

does not accept the escape key (C-a) to perform functions such as
switching from monitor to console. Verified both in GNU screen and in
the Linux console.

If '-serial telnet:127.0.0.1:1234,server,nowait' is removed from the
command line, the escape key is accepted (and Qemu doesn't enter the
monitor immediately).

[Thomas Huth]

Well, with your "-serial" setup, you've put the guest serial console on
the telnet port, so there is nothing to switch on the host console here
via the CTRL-a c key combination, i.e. this is the expected behavior.
What exactly were you trying to do here? Access the serial console via
two ways, one time via telnet and one time via the host console? AFAIK
that's not possible.

With '-serial telnet' I directed the serial port to telnet, not the
console (I call "console" the VGA tty qemu would show without the
-nographic option).

Ah, ok, so you want to have the VGA output on the host console? Try the
"-display curses" option for that.

I tried it, but it doesn't really work well. Aside from showing 2
cursors, the real problem is that the keymap is all messed up in the
guest (whereas it's perfect in Qemu's VGA monitor).
