bug#50496: Graphical installer and QEMU

2021-09-09 Thread A. Xander
Hi!

Switching from the graphical installer to a different virtual terminal is 
awkward in QEMU because the host system intercepts . So QEMU isn't aware it needs to switch to another TTY.

Usually this is quite easy to work around by using  to 
switch from one TTY to another, however this doesn't work in TTY1 with the 
graphical installer. So I ended up having to work around that by entering 
QEMU's command line  and writing: "sendkey ctrl-alt-f3" and 
returning to the VM via .

My proposed solution would be to ensure this is documented and that the 
graphical installer itself ignores/passed through .

Cheers,

- Xander.

Hi.



I had the same issue. From reading online, it may suggest there some network 
error. Retrying it after a couple of minutes made the problem go away for me.



Cheers
