Description of problem: I performed a default install of Fedora-20-Beta-TC1 tree using the DVD ISO and virt-manager wizard. System boots fine using the graphical console. As per the test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Virt_Serial_Console The serial console doesn't work at all: In VM details I can see a serial device has already been added. Trying View -> Text Consoles -> Serial 1 doens't give me a login prompt (GUI shows login prompt at the same time). Trying virsh console $guest yields: # virsh console fedora20-2 Connected to domain fedora20-2 Escape character is ^] error: operation failed: Active console session exists for this domain ^^^ No matter if I have switched in virt-manager back to the GUI or text console or if I close entirely the VM window which shows this guest system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-client-1.1.3-2.fc20.x86_64 virt-manager-0.10.0-4.git79196cdf.fc20.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See test case above. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: This could be 2 different issues, I don't know yet.
Duping this to your qemu-ga bug, since they are likely the same root issue *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1016613 ***
I have some additional information regarding the guest serial console: If I manually add the Console Device via "Add Hardware" option (Device Type: Pseudo TTY (pty), Type: virtio), I get a working console in virt-manager, e.g. I can see the login prompt an log in. However, executing 'virsh console fedora20' still doesn't work. I get the following output: Connected to domain fedora20 Escape character is ^] and I can't proceed, e.g. typing something in doesn't produce anything.
