[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1688231] Re: [Qemu-ppc] sendkey is not working for any of the keystrokes

[Fabiano Rosas]

I see this happening in ppc64le and x86_64 with QEMU
v2.11.0-1684-ga6e0344fa0. The keystrokes are being sent to tty1:

in x86_64:

./v2.11.0-1684-ga6e0344fa0/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512
-kernel vmlinuz -initrd initramfs.img -chardev
serial,id=s1,path=/dev/pts/10 -mon chardev=s1 -qmp
tcp:localhost:4444,server,nowait -vga none -nographic -append
"console=ttyS0 i8042.debug"

QEMU 2.11.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information                    
(qemu) sendkey a
(qemu) sendkey b
(qemu) sendkey c
(qemu) sendkey ret

# cat /dev/tty1
abc

---
same thing with input-send-event:

{"events": [{ "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true, "key": {"type": "qcode", 
"data": "a" } } }]}
{"events": [{ "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true, "key": {"type": "qcode", 
"data": "ret" } } }]}

# cat /dev/tty1
abc
a


I'm not sure what is the expected behavior when using two input sources in this 
way (serial line + PS/2 keyboard). I'm inclined to say that the keys should 
indeed not be seen in the serial console.
