hi
sorry for my english .

i get some trouble with keyboard layout on virtual machine (debian lenny ubuntu ) on 1.7 version.
the keyboard layout does not match the key on my keyboard.

i.e : when i select as keyboard layout : french
VM keyboard layout is qwerty or other keyboard layout.
when i press on key "1" => "é" is display ....

if you want i can send you access to vitual machine verify this.

if you want i can send you access to vitual machine verify this.

I just need to know your settings:

- proxmox vnc keyboard settings
- guest OS
- guest OS keyboard settings
- client keyboard settings (host where you run the browsers)
- client OS
 
proxmox web gui :Language english Keyboard Layout French
Guest OS : Windows 2003 Server
Guest Keyboard : French
Client OS : Vista 64 Bits french with Firefox 3.6.12
Client Keyboard : French

I don't have this problem with my other server proxmox 1.6 (same guest, same client), only difference 1.6 vs 17 proxmox.
 
Please can you test the new version:

# wget ftp://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/lenny/pvetest/binary-amd64/pve-qemu-kvm_0.13.0-3_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i pve-qemu-kvm_0.13.0-3_amd64.deb

(you need to restart (stop, then start) the VM)

I have install pve-qemu-kvm_0.13.0-3_amd64.deb but i get always keyboard trouble on all virtual machine.

this is output of pveversion -v

pve-manager: 1.7-10 (pve-manager/1.7/5323)
running kernel: 2.6.35-1-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.35: 1.6-7
pve-kernel-2.6.35-1-pve: 2.6.35-7
qemu-server: 1.1-25
pve-firmware: 1.0-9
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-16
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.24-1pve4
vzdump: 1.2-9
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.13.0-3
ksm-control-daemon: 1.0-4
 
any details and how to reproduce?
 
Hi

When I start installing ubuntu maverick. I run an automatic detection of the keyboard layout. I choose "fr" as keyboard layout.
but When configuring the network, I realize that the keyboard layout is in English "QWERTY". and i cannot tape ip adress of virtual machine because keyboard does not match.

i.e

my laptop keybord proxmox virtual machine output when pressing my laptop key
a => q
z => w
w => z
m => ,
SHIFT + . => /

If you need more detail i can give you acces to my server .
thx
 
looks like you configured English keyboard for KVM.

to check: go to the admin interface and see Configuration/System/Option: Keyboard Layout
 
Just set its all settings from setting panels. First set the proxmox vnc keyboard settings, guest OS keyboard settings, client OS and guest OS. And start setting from the client keyboard setting.
 
my keyboard will not work at all with any KVM clients. I have all my settings to english, host, client etc.. and nothing works. My mouse works fine but the keyboard or any other keyboard I stick in the computer works.
 
in any case, use/test the latest version. if you got any issues, open a new thread.
