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.

Being developed in https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/13505 , so tentatively aiming at RHEL 8.3.
Comment 9 Xianghua Chen 2020-05-21 03:20:39 UTC 
Verified with package:
cockpit-machines-219-1.el8.noarch

Steps:
1. Prepare a running fedora vm with x window system, enter the consoles page of the vm from cockpit webconsole.
2. Click Send Key, choose "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" , the vm can be reboot.
3. Make sure the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace has been enabled.(On fedora:System Settings-Hardware-Input Devices-Keyboard, check "Key sequence to kill the X server" is checked )
   Click Send Key, choose "Ctrl+Alt+Backspace", the x window system can be killed.
3. Click Send Key, choose "Ctrl+Alt+F1" to "Ctrl+Alt+F6",it will take you to corresponding terminals.
4. Click Send Key, choose "Ctrl+Alt+F7" to "Ctrl+Alt+F12", it's black by default.
   Enter one enabled terminal, execute:
   # /sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty7~12
   Then choose Ctrl+Alt+F12, it will take you to tty12 now.

So verified.
