On trusty with qemu-2.0 I can't get the "blind" input to work at all, it appears that enter in -curses mode (among other keyboard inputs seems broken.
To isolate the issue, I tried a trusty-server iso, same issue. Then I tried this ttylinux image: http://ttylinux.net/Download/ttylinux-pc_x86_64-2015.01.iso.gz With that image, -curses mode works perfectly fine. That leads me to believe that qemu 's curses mode does indeed work, but something in the image is breaking it. ttylinux is running: # uname -a Linux ttylinux_host 3.10.2 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 7 12:45:07 MST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1427829 Title: enter doesn't work on iso install over serial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1427829/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
