Hi!
Switching from the graphical installer to a different virtual terminal is
awkward in QEMU because the host system intercepts <ctrl-alt-F1 ...
ctrl-alt-F12>. So QEMU isn't aware it needs to switch to another TTY.
Usually this is quite easy to work around by using <ctrl-arrow left/right> to
switch from one TTY to another, however this doesn't work in TTY1 with the
graphical installer. So I ended up having to work around that by entering
QEMU's command line <alt-ctrl-2> and writing: "sendkey ctrl-alt-f3" and
returning to the VM via <alt-ctrl-f1>.
My proposed solution would be to ensure this is documented and that the
graphical installer itself ignores/passed through <ctrl-arrow right>.
Cheers,
- Xander.
