[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1257352] Re: kvm hangs occasionally when switching out of the qemu console

[Thomas Huth]

Could you please check with the latest version of QEMU (v2.12), and make
sure that you're using SDL2 instead of SDL1.2 (since the latter is going
to be removed soon)?

** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  kvm hangs occasionally when switching out of the qemu console

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  To recreate (although this does *NOT* fail most of the time alas):

  1) press "ctrl-alt-2" to switch to the qemu console.
  2) type say "sendkey ctrl-alt-f1"
  3) press "ctrl-alt-1".

  Expected outcome: Switch to tty1 in the VM.

  Actual outcome: No switch to tty1 in the VM. and qemu console
  unresponsive to any keyboard input.

  
  Rather a vague problem description I'm afraid but this has happened to me 3 
times recently. No crash and no excessive CPU is observed.

  I'll grab an strace when it happens again and attach...
