Chapter 2 spelling and how to exit qemu?

[bx1n]

Press Ctrl+A, leave it, afterwards press X

[robot527]

My host is Ubuntu 14.04, VirtualBox version is 4.3.36_Ubuntu.
For leave:
Press Esc+2, then input quit and press Enter.

Presing Alt + 2 and then typing quit worked for me. Source. http://serverfault.com/a/730383

hi,
i'm having the same issue to quit qemu emulator by using combination; it does not work.
though, using <ctrl+alt+2> to open qemu monitor and typing 'exit' works to exit qemu.

googling can give you a lot of references but here is the link that i looked at.

Just for reference: in my case adding -serial mon:stdio made CTRL+a x combination work.

CTRL+ALT x works

This is fixed in #30

hi,
I also have the same issue to quit qemu, but both and <Ctrl+Alt+2> cannot work.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

It can't quit because you're issuing the key sequence in the VM. Open a new tab and issue:

sudo kill $(pidof qemu)

That should do the trick.

[erinzm]

Or sudo killall qemu.
If you're running under Vagrant, you'll have to do another vagrant ssh in a different shell to quit it, obviously ;)

@ChiakiLee
My customized qemu has the same problem, and here is my solution qemu [some args] -monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:1234,server,nowait, then telnet 127.0.0.1 1234. It works prefectly! see more:http://stackoverflow.com/a/15768100/3920448

If you're SSH'd into Virtual box and running Qemu via terminal ... CRTL + A....dont touch...then X.
