Hello,

I am pretty new to Proxmox and did a test install of Proxmox VE to check whether this would be the way to go for me.

I have created a new VM and installed ubuntu-24.04.3 on it, configured german keyboard (nodeadkeys) as I actually have a german keyboard.

Whenever I type the key sequence '\' ')' fast into the web-console of this VM (as in "sed 's/abc\(def\)g//'" or something), the AltGr-Key (the key on the right side of the space-bar) seems to hang.

Any hints?

Update:
I forgot to mention, that
  • other VMs are not affected, pve-web-console is also not affected, so it is not a local problem
  • I can't find any way to get out of the situation. All keystrokes appear as if AltGr is constantly pressed. Only rebooting the VM gives me a working keyboard.
