For a bit of reverse-confirmation of the findings so far. If I build qemu without VTE, like (configure) GTK support yes (3.24.14) VTE support no
It works, due to the fallback implemented by [1][2]. But obviously without all the VTE features, I'd prefer a more fine grained fix than disabling VTE :-) [1]: https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=f8c223f69ac58488ea830597281b7ddd33037c4c [2]: https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=bbbf9bfb9c27e389340cf50a11c22fa46c572150 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1868116 Title: QEMU monitor no longer works Status in QEMU: New Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in vte2.91 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Repro: VTE $ meson _build && ninja -C _build && ninja -C _build install qemu: $ ../configure --python=/usr/bin/python3 --disable-werror --disable-user --disable-linux-user --disable-docs --disable-guest-agent --disable-sdl --enable-gtk --disable-vnc --disable-xen --disable-brlapi --disable-fdt --disable-hax --disable-vde --disable-netmap --disable-rbd --disable-libiscsi --disable-libnfs --disable-smartcard --disable-libusb --disable-usb-redir --disable-seccomp --disable-glusterfs --disable-tpm --disable-numa --disable-opengl --disable-virglrenderer --disable-xfsctl --disable-vxhs --disable-slirp --disable-blobs --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-rdma --disable-pvrdma --disable-attr --disable-vhost-net --disable-vhost-vsock --disable-vhost-scsi --disable-vhost-crypto --disable-vhost-user --disable-spice --disable-qom-cast-debug --disable-vxhs --disable-bochs --disable-cloop --disable-dmg --disable-qcow1 --disable-vdi --disable-vvfat --disable-qed --disable-parallels --disable-sheepdog --disable-avx2 --disable-nettle --disable-gnutls --disable-capstone --disable-tools --disable-libpmem --disable-iconv --disable-cap-ng $ make Test: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./build/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm --drive media=cdrom,file=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso - switch to monitor with CTRL+ALT+2 - try to enter something Affects head of both usptream git repos. --- original bug --- It was observed that the QEMU console (normally accessible using Ctrl+Alt+2) accepts no input, so it can't be used. This is being problematic because there are cases where it's required to send commands to the guest, or key combinations that the host would grab (as Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Alt-F4).
