Hi list, after hours for searching in google-world, i didnt find any appropriate for this problem: I want to boot a live-cd (i.e. ubuntu 14.04.1-desktop) in qemu, which starts with an graphical interface, done i.e. by qemu-system-x86_64 -m 3G -smp 2 -drive file=ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso,media=cdrom,if=virtio --enable-kvm Now i want to access to the console of the ubuntu-livecd. At the moment i can do this over changing to text mode via sendkey ctrl-alt-f1 in qemu-console (Alt-2), then switching back to qemu-window (alt-1). Now i have access to tty1 of my livecd. But IMHO there should be a more simple way to access to such a console with qemu, i.e. through a pipe, a serial console etc., but i didnt found anything working. The best i got was with -chardev pty,id=myid, which resulted in a "char device redirected to /dev/pts/0 (label myid)". But with a "screen /dev/pts/0" i wasnt able to see any input or output. ssh is unfortunatly not available at this time on the livecd (so i could connect i.e. via -net user,hostfwd:tcp:10022-:22) Any hints to connect directly to a console in an emulated linux?
