I'm trying to do a Debian pressed configuration using a second iso, and this requires switching to tty2 to mount the supplemental cdrom containing the preseed.cfg file.
I am finding that the Alt-F2 keystroke is not being received correctly, so it is not switching to tty2 to run the mount commands.
Alt-F2 comes out as:
^[[[B
You can easily reproduce using my public GitHub repo:
git clone https://github.com/HariSekhon/Packer-templates pack
cd pack
make debian-tart
which will download the installer iso, create the pressed iso and run the packer command to launch the VM with both isos and send all keystrokes to reproduce.
The debian-11-arm64.tart.pkr.hcl is heavily commented of what each screen expects, specifically this is the part I'm having trouble with:
boot_command = [
"<wait2s>",
"e<down><down><down><down><left>",
" auto=true file=/mnt/cdrom2/preseed.cfg<f10>",
"<wait15s>",
# go to terminal tty2 for CLI
# XXX: this Alt-F2 keystroke is coming out unrecognized
"<leftAltOn><f2><leftAltOff><wait2s>",
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I've created https://github.com/rgl/use-packer-vnc-bootcommand to replicate the problem from a separate go application. It can replicate the problem, but I have no clue how to fix it. I've tried to use other combinations like <leftSuperOn><f2><leftSuperOff> in the hopes it would be some kind of keyboard layout mismatch, but that didn't work either.
