From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; If attempting to run ssh root@somehost virsh console someguest You'll get an error 2012-02-15 13:11:47.683+0000: 4765: info : libvirt version: 0.9.10, package: 1.fc18 (Unknown, 2012-02-15-11:48:57, lettuce.camlab.fab.redhat.com) 2012-02-15 13:11:47.683+0000: 4765: error : vshRunConsole:320 : unable to get tty attributes: Invalid argument Connected to domain f16x86_64 Escape character is ^] There are several problems here - The actual error message is bad for users - We shouldn't rely on VIR_ERROR for this case - The prompt makes it look like we still connected because we didn't flush stdout. * virsh.c: Flush stdout before starting console and check for a valid tty --- tools/virsh.c | 6 ++++++ 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
