[libvirt] 0.9.7 virsh console regression?
Hi folks,
I have a few "headless" qemu domains that use serial consoles.
Typically i connect to the consoles with
# virsh console <domain>
However with 0.9.7 I get
Connected to domain gentoo-base
Escape character is ^]
error: internal error character device (null) is not using a PTY
I am still able to connect to the console if i go into the virt-manager
gui and use the "gui" console, but I'd rather not do that as sometimes I
don't have access to the gui.
Is this a regression or am I expected to do some kind of migration on my
domains. These are qemu guests running on Gentoo Linux. An xml dump of
a typical domain follows:
