[Bug 807091] Re: "internal error character device (null) is not using a PTY" when using virsh console

[Varhegyi Balazs]

Hi, I wanted to use "virtsh console instance-xxxx" as described here:
http://www.jaredlog.com/?p=1484 for debugging this issue:
https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/89583/cant-ping-machine-after-
unrescue/ but I encountered this problem. My goal was to connect to the
instance and see the console log and get a console to the machine
because ssh doesn't work (details in the referenced link)
