[Bug 807091] Re: "internal error character device (null) is not using a PTY" when using virsh console

[Matt Thompson]

Hi All,

I was able to replicate this running --libvirt_type=qemu, and see
similar "virsh dumpxml" output as reported in
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-July/msg00460.html.  If
I move the <serial type='pty'> tag above <serial type="file"> in
libvirt.xml (despite libvirt.xml stating that the order should be "file"
first), I can connect to console but cannot see console output using
using "euca-get-console-output".  Previously, I couldn't connect to
console, but could see console output.

Interestingly, but as an aside, when using --libvirt_type=uml, I by
default can connect to the console but cannot see console output using
"euca-get-console-output".

Anyway, after reading the libvirt-list post pasted above, I'm inclined
to think only one <serial> tag should be defined in libvirt.xml, but
perhaps someone more familiar w/ libvirt can clarify?

-Matt
