Features a tabbed GUI, one tab for the VM list, +then one per guest console. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B -c <uri> +Specify libvirt URI to use. +.TP +.B -h +Display help text. +.TP +.B -d +Enable debug logging on stderr. +.SH GETTING STARTED +Just start vconsole. It comes up with a GUI which should be mostly +self-explanatory. If you have LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI or +VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI set it should pick it up automatically. If +it comes up empty try passing the libvirt uri using the '-c' switch or +use the "File / Connect ..." menu entry to connect. +.P +Hit 'Enter' on a host line to expland/collapse the guest list. +Hit 'Enter' on a guest line to open a guest (text) console tab for it. +.P +Guest console tabs stay open until you explicitly close them using the +'close tab' file menu entry. When a guest starts the console will be +(re-)connected automatically. +.P +Typing into a guest console for a guest not running will start it +(this is probably temporary until we have more fancy gui controls for +that). +.SH AUTHOR +Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> |
