Copied from the link above: | # virsh console guest1 | Connected to domain guest1 | Escape character is ^] | 14:25:40.056: error : vshRunConsole:77 : unable to open tty /dev/pts/3 : No such file or directory | | When I dump the configuration of my VM, something is wrong with the path "/dev/pts/3" (there is a carriage return after the path). | | # virsh dumpxml guest1 | <domain type='kvm' id='2'> | <name>guest1</name> | ... | <serial type='pty'> | '/> <source path='/dev/pts/3 | <target port='0'/> | </serial> | '> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/3 | '/> <source path='/dev/pts/3 | <target port='0'/> | </console> | ... | </domain> The 'path' entries are added by libvirt after launching a domain with: <serial type="pty"> <target port="1"/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target port='1'/> </console> </devices> The solution is found at http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=c0a9b6a5338e54b64a4a28415ffbdb6bcc2b38c5 Note, this is not a dupe of bug 523148. In lucid you wont get far enough to see that bug. Without the change console in 'virsh' is completely broken.
