[ale] ctrl-d in virt-manager?

[Horkan Smith]

I use kvm (headless and console both) directly as well.... but does it matter which ctrl key you use (left or right)?

>From the current Debian-stable man page for kvm:


       -alt-grab
           Use Ctrl-Alt-Shift to grab mouse (instead of Ctrl-Alt). Note that
           this also affects the special keys (for fullscreen, monitor-mode
           switching, etc).

       -ctrl-grab
           Use Right-Ctrl to grab mouse (instead of Ctrl-Alt). Note that this
           also affects the special keys (for fullscreen, monitor-mode
           switching, etc).


FWIW, control-d works fine for me on the console w/out virt-manager.  I've never used virt-manager, but I can load it up if you need some debugging help.

Does it matter which guest you run?  I just checked w/ Knoppix 7.0.4 - specifically:

KNOPISO=/sda8/cdroms/knoppix/KNOPPIX_V7.0.4CD-2012-08-20-EN.iso

#...snip...

kvm \
 -monitor stdio \
 -boot d \
 -cdrom $KNOPISO \
 -m 1024 \
 -vga std \
 -usb \
 -usbdevice tablet \
 $*


later!
