What is vconsole
================
This is a virtual machine console, with a strong focus on guests using
a serial console. Features a tabbed GUI, one tab for the VM list,
then one per guest console. It build on top of libvirt.
Using vconsole
==============
Just start it. It comes up with a GUI which should be mostly
self-explanatory. If you have 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.
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.
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.
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).
Known issues / TODO list
========================
vconsole doesn't handle connection drops (caused by libvirtd restart
for example) yet.
vconsole lacks a .desktop file and manual page.
Most likely there are bugs not listed here.
