[Qemu-devel] Linux - redirecting console problem

Hi,

I'm using qemu on linux and with the linux guest. It works fine, but I'd
like to be able to enter commands and see the output on host console and not
in the SDL or VNC window(guest has now gdm - only non graphical mode).

Refering to the qemu manual option -nographic should make it, but when I add
it, I see no output and I can't type anything. There's just process in the
background.

I also tried to make it with -chardev socket, but without -nographic option
after connecting to socket normall SDL window appear and with -nographic
option I also can't type anything or see any output.

Hope someone will help me here.

Regards
harnen

Hello,

You can use:
-monitor stdio

You can also use the screen command to close the terminal (see a screen 
tutorial).

Works for me at least with VNC.

BTW: Is the console also available through Ctrl-Alt-F2 with VNC?

Thanx.

Ciao,
Gerhard

Hi,

Thanks for reply. -monitor option gives me acces to qemu console. I need
access to guest shell.

It occours I didn't have serial port enabled in grub, now it's works with
-nographic option. If someone is interested this tutorial make the deal:
