Hi, I'm trying to understand how to use the escape character '^]' with the below command: virt-install --name=try06 --graphic none --pxe --network bridge=virbr0 --console pty,target_type=serial "Starting install... Connected to domain try06 Escape character is ^]" When I try to do '^]', it does not escape. The '--console' option makes no difference. In other words, what is the best way to get back to the host from a broken guest installation. I'm remotely connected to this server using SSH and doing '~.' quits the SSH connection. Any help is appriciated. -- John Doe
