Hello,

I've backup a kvm-vm in a server running Proxmox 1.9 and restore it using the web interface on a server running 2.0 beta 3.
I'm starting the vm and open the console of the web interface.
I'm not able to log in. I've found out, that the "#" of my german keybord is a "§" in the console. So the password get wrong. This is only in the console, not any where else. A ssh login runs well. Also a XDMCP connection to the vm and the console of the webinterface of Proxmox 1.9.

Code:
# pveversion -v

Same bug with the Danish keyboard running Proxmox 2.0 Beta 3 and using the console.

Example, the ‘/’ char should be located on SHIFT+7 but is located on SHIFT+6 instead.

Did not see that option, nice :)

However, when I change it to 'dk' Danish, I get the following error. I did the change when the VM was down, when I change it back again to 'Default' everything is fine:

Could not read keymap file: 'dk'

Hi dietmar,

I have submitted a bug report. Didn’t think about using ‘da’, I guess it could be used since NATO is using that and not ‘dk’. But I think most Danes will use ‘dk’. ;)
