[libvirt-users] 2 virsh consoles on the same hypervisor causes conflicts

Anyone encountered this? Anyone have a solution? Seeing it in Fedora15 with KVM If 2 consoles are opened to the same guest from the hypervisor they will interfere with each other. keystrokes are lost and returned information is displayed on either virsh console instances randomly. Both consoles are rendered unusable. Thanks, DAVID

Yeah, this is normal - only one client can access /dev/pts/XXX devices at a time, otherwise it just all goes wrong.

Then, what's not normal is that virsh allows to connect more than once. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
