Bump?

Does not work. All I get if I try e.g. '# sendkey a' to a VM with a command line window open and focused is a pop-up error alert: "Permission check failed (/, Sys.Modify) (403)". And that's not in "the other browser window" but rather in the original one, from whence I clicked Console. I've...

You've lost me. Proxmox's Connect command opens a browser window which has two buttons, Send Keys and Commands. Where is the "qemu monitor"?

The other facet of the problem manifests in a Proxmox (noVNC) console: the keyboard's non-dead keys work just fine (e acute, degree, guillemets : é ° «») but any dead key stroke sequence ignores the dead key altogether. So cedilla, c (¸c) yields c instead of ç, none of the acutes, circumflexes...

The Send keys menu is useless because it offers only a very small selection of special keys (tab, ctrl-alt-delete, ctrl-alt-backspace, ctrl-alt-F1 through ctrl-alt-F12).

Keyboard and Proxmox. The problem seems to have multiple facets. For instance, from a system using fr-ca keyboard, I can open the Proxmox web interface (IP address, port 8006), log in, create and run virtual machines, etc. But if I change my Proxmox password (using Proxmox's dialog that won't...

I ended up writing a shell script that checks the mount point and consequently toggles between mounting and unmounting. The mount command is enough to cause the OS to create the icon on the desktop and pop the file browser window, so it'll do. Now if I could just get ProxMox to handle the...

Sadly, mount -a does not do the trick. The CD/DVD drive is not in fstab. RHEL/CentOS 5 must proceed some other way.

That's precisely what I'm doing: editing the VM's CD/DVD Drive to change its ISO image from "no media" to something. But the VM is not picking up on it. I can manually mount the CD/DVD from within the VM (and access its contents, etc.), but if I then try to eject it, RHEL/CentOS complains that...

How do you simulate inserting a CDROM (or DVD) into a virtual machine? I can edit the CDROM device to change it from 'no disk' to some iso I pick, but this is not detected by the running VM (an old RHEL 5.3 in this case). The VM is configured to mount removable drives when hot-plugged, mount...

How is it done? There is no option to create an account on the wiki (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/) or even to leave a question on a discussion page (like the main page's).

Similar problem here. French-Canadian keyboard passes all characters okay, even the AltCar ones, EXCEPT for the dead keys. Trying to use a dead key yields the unmodified character that follows the dead key.
