Hi list readers, On buster, if I run 'virt-install' with debian-installer with preseed arguments including --graphics none --extra-args "auto=true priority=critical console=ttyS0 ..."
to specify a text console KVM install then it all works nicely. The GUI is LXDE, the terminal emulator is lxterminal. Here's a screenshot (your viewing is not required, merely optional): https://imgur.com/a/WGDdniX We see there, the top line of the text console has text like this: (1*installer) 2 shell 3 shell 4- log to indicate that tty1 is being shown, and that tty2,tty3,tty4 are available. tty4 is valuable because it contains log information. My question is: What keystroke do I use to switch between tty1 and tty4? I tried alt+F4 but that closes the lxterminal process window on the host. I tried ctrl+alt+F4 but that takes me to tty4 on the host, not in the VM.
