Then, I used virt-install to install a Tiny Core Linux VM, and I got a pop-up Virt Viewer window (via XQuartz) which is the console for my Tiny Core VM. However, if I rebooted my VM, then I checked the VM state by virsh list --all which was running. Then, I tried `virsh console my_vm_domain` but this command got stuck on: > Connected to domain my_vm_domain > Escape character is ^] The `virsh console` command hung without any response. This issue also happened when I used virsh console after I shut down and later started the VM. Even the VM was already started, I cannot return to the VM console by `virsh console`. I can get the VM console in Virt Viewer at the first boot (using virt-install). But, if I shutdown the VM once, I can never access the VM console by virsh console even the VM state is running. Any idea about how to use virsh console? Thanks, Yifei
