Hi,

I'm trying to understand how to use the escape character '^]' with the below command:

virt-install --name=try06 --graphic none --pxe --network bridge=virbr0 --console pty,target_type=serial

"Starting install... Connected to domain try06 Escape character is ^]"

When I try to do '^]', it does not escape.

This is not a character sequence, '^]' is a way of saying: Ctrl + ] Jano

The '--console' option makes no difference.

In other words, what is the best way to get back to the host from a broken guest installation.

I'm remotely connected to this server using SSH and doing '~.' quits the SSH connection.

Any help is appriciated.
