With -vnc option, can I still use "ctrl+alt + n"?

With -vnc option, can I still use "ctrl+alt + n"?

[Neo Jia]

hi,

I am trying kvm-84 and with -vnc option I can't use "ctrl + alt + n"
key to get the qemu system console. Is there anyway to make this work?

Thanks,
Neo

Use Qemu/KVM monitor and it's "sendkey" function.

For example:

sendkey alt-f3

Sorry, could you specify the command line option? I don't know how to
get into monitor.

Thanks,

You could pass -monitor stdio to qemu. That gives you the monitor on  
the shell you started qemu from.

Are you using a mac to access vnc? Try ctrl-apple-2 then.

So if I run kvm as daemon:

kvm -name Linux-x64 -smp 2 -m 2048M -hda hda.img \
    -cdrom ../../var/iso/debian-500-amd64-DVD-1.iso \
    -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:00,model=e1000 \
    -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap00,script=no \
    -net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:10,model=e1000 \
    -net tap,vlan=1,ifname=tap10,script=no \
    -vnc :10 -daemonize

After logout the host, I can't get the qemu system console anymore?

Yes this works for me. As I am giving the stdio to serial port, I need
to change the serial port to something else.

I am going to start a another thread about what I just find on qemu monitor.

You could use:

-monitor unix:/var/run/qemu-server/103.mon,server,nowait

And connect i.e. with minicom to /var/run/qemu-server/103.mon.

If you put a "minirc.yourguest" file in /etc/minicom/ with content:

pu port             unix#/var/run/qemu-server/103.mon
pu minit
pu mreset


You will be able to connect to that monitor with:

minicom yourguest

For example:

# minicom web3-mon

Welcome to minicom 2.2

OPTIONS: I18n
Compiled on Jan  7 2007, 19:01:49.
Port unix#/var/run/qemu-server/105.mon

                                       Press CTRL-A Z for help on 
special keys

QEMU 0.9.1 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) help
help|? [cmd] -- show the help
(...)

Note: this will "quit the emulator" and your guest:

(qemu) quit


So most likely you will just want to exit with minicom's "ctrl-a z x" 
combination.
