Cannot type symbols in proxmox console VMS

[iosdev41]

Hi all,

I have proxmox installed on my hp elitedesk 800 g3 mini, I am using the GUI interface on my web browser on my raspberry pi, from memory its just running chromium. I can type symbols ( ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) -_ = + etc) in the web browser and in the gui itself, however I cannot type symbols in the VMs themselves when I use the console to access them. Was wondering if anyone could help?

1. please don't bump threads without new information, that won't generally help get an answer faster..
2. what are you running in the vm ? which keyboard layout/etc. ?

what client keyboard layout do you have? (the one of the browser you use)

also can you post the vm configs (qm config ID)
and the content of the datacenter config (/etc/pve/datacenter.cfg) ?

what exactly happens when you try to input such a character?
is there anything visible in the browser console (you can open that on most browsers/os with CTRL+SHIFT+J)

Right now I have another issue which is I cannot contact or login to the Host/Proxmox GUI. However the VMs are contactable for some reason. So I can't answer these questions. I haven't changed anything in the host at all since I've replied here and it was working then..

can you login via ssh ?

No. It's not showing up in a list of devices on my network. I haven't tried a network scan, but in the list of network devices the two automatic start vms are up

can you reach the webui/ssh at all ? or is it just that the login fails?
