Hi all,

I'm unable to open a serial console to a kvm virtual machine with virsh console:

[root@phy003 ~]# virsh console f12 Connected to domain f12 Escape character is ^] 20:43:48.282: error : vshRunConsole:77 : unable to open tty /dev/ pts/1 : No such file or directory

If you look carefully to the message above, there's a space after / dev/pts/1

I can also see this in the xml:

[root@phy003 ~]# virsh dumpxml f12 > f12.xml

<console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/1^M'> <source path='/dev/pts/1^M'/> <target port='0'/> </console> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/1^M'> <source path='/dev/pts/1^M'/> <target port='0'/> </console>

I've run gdb over virsh, and this is what virDomainGetXMLDesc returns: <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/1\r'>

I'm not sure if this has already been fixed, this is libvirt-0.7.5-3.fc12.x86_64 from the rawhide preview repo on F12, with qemu-kvm-0.12.2-4.fc12.x86_64

Any help would be appreciated.

I think this was fixed after the 0.7.5 release by this commit

Thanks, that did the trick! Ruben
