Another typo of virsh send-key:
#man virsh
............
send-key domain-id [--codeset codeset] [--holdtime holdtime] keycode...
Parse the keycode sequence as keystrokes to send to domain-id. Each keycode can
either be a numeric value or a symbolic name from the corresponding codeset. If
--holdtime is given, each keystroke will be held for that many milliseconds.
The default codeset is linux, but use of the --codeset option allows other
codesets to be chosen.
......
xtkbd
The numeric values are those defined by the Linux KBD device. These are a
variant on the original XT codeset, but often with different encoding for
extended keycodes. No symbolic names are provided.
....
# virsh send-key 9 --codeset xtkbd 0x11
error: unknown codeset: 'xtkbd'
xtkbd should be xt_kbd.Find ' xt_kbd' codeset from the following link:
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=src/util/virkeycode.c;h=f85fe4ac5d5e86b17febfc762ac8ae6fdde9c927;hb=HEAD
# virsh send-key 4 --codeset xt_kbd 0x11
No error message.
In guest: "w" print.
I think it's better to fix comment 1 in rhel6.2 as it's important to customer. Patches for upstream: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg00369.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg00367.html Alex Patches have been ACKed and pushed, so please move the bug to POST status.
