RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
send-key can not send os_x code ANSI_A maybe because its code is 0x0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-1.5.3-21.el7.x86_64
libvirt-1.1.1-16.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a guest
2. run
# virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_A
error: invalid keycode: 'ANSI_A'

check with other keys will be ok
# virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_B
# virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_C

Actual results:
error: invalid keycode: 'ANSI_A'

Expected results:
send-key will succeed.

Additional info:

The universe of known keys should be added to the test suites.

I've proposed patch upstream:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-December/msg01104.html

Moving to POST:

http://post-office.corp.redhat.com/archives/rhvirt-patches/2014-January/msg00030.html

I can reproduce this issue with libvirt-1.1.1-16.el7.x86_64 following steps in comment1.

Verify the issue with libvirt-1.1.1-18.el7:

1. Execute the command, no error message pop up.
# virsh send-key test1 --codeset os_x ANSI_A

2. Check the guest console, character 'a' display

So change the status from 'ON_QA' to 'VERIFIED'
