Public bug reported: qemu-system-i386 (version 2.6.1, running on Linux/x86_64) started with:
qemu-system-i386 -m 64M -machine type=pc -rtc base=localtime,clock=host -nographic -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:1234,server,nowait -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2200-:22,tftp=/ does not accept the escape key (C-a) to perform functions such as switching from monitor to console. Verified both in GNU screen and in the Linux console. If '-serial telnet:127.0.0.1:1234,server,nowait' is removed from the command line, the escape key is accepted (and Qemu doesn't enter the monitor immediately). ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713328 Title: Unable to C-a in -nographic if -serial telnet Status in QEMU: New Bug description: qemu-system-i386 (version 2.6.1, running on Linux/x86_64) started with: qemu-system-i386 -m 64M -machine type=pc -rtc base=localtime,clock=host -nographic -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:1234,server,nowait -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2200-:22,tftp=/ does not accept the escape key (C-a) to perform functions such as switching from monitor to console.
