Description Mike FABIAN 2013-11-21 19:18:20 UTC
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/remote-viewer
virt-viewer-0.5.7-1.fc20.x86_64

I installed Fedora-20-TC2-x86_64-netinst
using qemu using:

ionice -c 3 qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -global qxl.ram_size=1x1024 -m 2048M -smp 4 -drive file=./Fedora-20-TC2-x86_64-netinst.iso.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,cache=unsafe -localtime -serial file:/tmp/qemu-Fedora-20-TC2-x86_64-netinst.iso.qcow2-output.log -name Fedora-20-TC2-x86_64-netinst.iso.qcow2 -cdrom /local/mfabian/iso/Fedora-20-TC2/Fedora-20-TC2-x86_64-netinst.iso -boot c -spice port=6000,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -display vnc=:4 -net nic -net user,hostname=Fedora-20-TC2-x86_64-netinst.iso.qcow2,hostfwd=tcp::5556-:22 -monitor stdio -usb

and view it with 

remote-viewer --title spice: ./Fedora-20-TC2-x86_64-netinst.iso.qcow2 spice://localhost:6000

Comment 1 Mike FABIAN 2013-11-21 19:22:04 UTC
In the “Send key” menu of remote-viewer, there is

Ctrl+Alt+F1
Ctrl+Alt+F2
...

Clicking “Ctrl+Alt+F2” should switch the guest
to the virtual console, shouldn’t it?

But it does not, it only inserts 

   ;5Q

into the gnome-terminal I see in the guest.

This still doesn’t seem to work in remote-viewer running on
a Fedora 21 host when installing Fedora 22 beta in qemu:

nice ionice -c 3 qemu-kvm -machine pc-1.3 -enable-kvm -global qxl.ram_size=1x1024 -m 2048M -smp 2 -drive file=./Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22_Beta-3.iso.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,cache=unsafe -localtime -serial file:/tmp/qemu-Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22_Beta-3.iso.qcow2-output.log -name Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22_Beta-3.iso.qcow2 -cdrom /local/mfabian/iso/f22-Beta-RC3/Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22_Beta-3.iso -boot c -spice port=6000,disable-ticketing,streaming-video=off -vga qxl -display vnc=:4 -net nic -net user,hostname=Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22_Beta-3.iso.qcow2,hostfwd=tcp::5560-:22 -monitor stdio -usb

remote-viewer --title spice: ./Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22_Beta-3.iso.qcow2 spice://localhost:6000

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/remote-viewer
virt-viewer-2.0-1.fc21.x86_64

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-11-04 12:36:24 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '21'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Works fine here on f23 with f23 workstation livecd, so it appears fixed
