Re: [Xen-users] how to press ctrl+alt+del on windows2003

Here is a link to the virt-manager FAQ

http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/faq.html

and here's the specific part of the FAQ:

How do you send special key strokes to the guest console?
   If trying to press |"Ctrl+Alt+F1"| to switch virtual consoles in a
   guest, it is very likely that the local X server will intercept the
   keystroke and switch consoles on the host machine instead. To work
   around this problem, the virtual console window has the idea of
   'sticky' keys. If you press a modifier key 3 times in a row, it will
   stick on until the next non-modifier key is released. So to send
   |"Ctrl+Alt+F1"| to the guest, one can use the sequence |"Ctrl Ctrl
   Ctrl Alt+F1"|


Just thought I'd provide the link to the FM ;)

    Try pressing ctrl 3 times, then alt+del.  Works for me on
    virt-manager
    0.4.0.

    Either that or use a VNC client to connect to it (I'm pretty sure
    setting it up with virt-manager will make Xen use VNC for that guest,
    though you may have to look at virsh dumpxml <domain> or netstat
    to get
    the port).  Most VNC clients (at least Windows ones) will give you a
    menu through which to send ctrl+alt+del
