I can't switch virtual consoles in Linux KVM guests with alt-F1, alt-F2...
VNC viewer does not pass some key combinations or they may be intercepted by your operating system.
To send custom key combinations to the guest, go to "Monitor" in Virtual Machine Configuration for a given guest and use "sendkey" command.
For example, to switch to the third console (tty3) you would use:
sendkey alt-f3
How can I send sysrq to Linux KVM guests
Similarly to the above, go to "Monitor" in Virtual Machine Configuration for a given guest and use "sendkey" command.
For example, to issue "Emergency Sync", you would use:
sendkey alt-sysrq-s
In the VNC viewer for the given guest you should see:
SysRq : Emergency Sync
You should also see this entry if you run "dmesg" on this guest.
