Chapter 2 spelling and how to exit qemu?

[ghost]

Chapter 2 says You can exit the emulator using: <Ctrl-a x>. but the thing inside <> is not rendered because it is not escaped and looks like HTML tag to the markdown renderer so you need to view the raw text to see it otherwise it shows as You can exit the emulator using: ..

Also, what exactly do I need to press to exit qemu? I run the make run command via PuTTY in Windows and it loads fine but I am not able to stop it. I tried pressing Ctrl+A and then X or Ctrl+X and also Ctrl+A+X but it didn't work. What is this combo supposed to mean?

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. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.embedded.yocto.general/3410

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.

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

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

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

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

[yangminz]

CTRL+ALT x works

[bx1n]

Press Ctrl+A, leave it, afterwards press X

[attarzad]

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

Press Ctrl + a, LEAVE IT!!!!! and then press X, many thx to @abhinand4858 for the answer!
