Description

I do have the same problem. I'm running F7 with a german keyboard layout and installed a german Windows Server 2003 and a german Windows XP. Both have set the german keyboard layout, but it is a little bit english and a little bit from a other layout. change QA contact i have also problem with (Greek)keyboard. I installed f9 alpha under virt-manager and i cant type numbers (number keys show only upper symbols) also i cant type dot (shows >) and cap locks have exactly thew opposite behaviour To all commenters: what is your KEYTABLE entry in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard? virt-manager reads this and attempts to do the right thing when setting up a vnc console. Also, try 'virsh dumpxml <guestname>', and see if the <graphics> tag has a keymap= setting. If so, paste that as well. Basically, your host machine keymap must match your vnc keymap, which must match the keymap in the guest for this to all work. The problems you are seeing is most likely a result of an improperly set up vnc keymap. Thanks Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. Hi, I am having the same issues with a german layout. [root@choeger6 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" KEYTABLE="de-latin1" I will also attach my virtual machine configuration. Created attachment 310724 [details]
virtual machine file
You can easily work around that by setting the qemu -k option (see man page for details). This worked for me: [root@choeger6 ~]# cat /usr/bin/qemu-kvm #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/qemu-kvm.bin -k de $@ (except that ALT-GR did not work, but I consider this a vnc problem) <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' keymap='en-us'/> KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" KEYTABLE="gr" LAYOUT="us,gr" MODEL="pc105" OPTIONS="grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll" VARIANT="" this is from F10. Problem remains Comment #10 (Nikos), which of these keymaps sounds like the best fit? ar de-ch es fo fr-ca hu ja mk no pt-br sv da en-gb et fr fr-ch is lt nl pl ru th de en-us fi fr-be hr it lv nl-be pt sl tr Okay, I've committed a fix upstream that will make a lot of these issues go away in the future (and make my life easier): http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virtinst--devel/rev/b9a4f2d775ca This fixes the mapping for Comment #9 (Christoph Höger), but I still need info from Comment #10 (Nikos) to determine the ideal mapping (please see Comment #11) Moving to POST in the interim. (In reply to comment #11) > Comment #10 (Nikos), which of these keymaps sounds like the best fit? > > ar de-ch es fo fr-ca hu ja mk no pt-br sv > da en-gb et fr fr-ch is lt nl pl ru th > de en-us fi fr-be hr it lv nl-be pt sl tr I cant see any Greek keymap in the above options. Anyway this is a console only thing so i suppose en-us will be the most appropriate solution. Ideally we should now stop ever setting a keymap flag for new KVM/Xen. The latest QEMU VNC code has a special VNC extension which lets us pass raw scancodes to the guest. By removing the keymap, we thus let the guest OS have total control over the scancode -> keycode -> keysym translation, and avoid needing to create every single keyboard map in QEMU What packages and versions are at play here? KVM, gtk-vnc, qemu? Should we only drop this for rawhide/f11 or f9/f10? Maybe libvirt should just skip setting the keymap (even if one is passed) for sufficiently new versions of qemu or kvm, since it's already grabbing that version information. python-virtinst-0.400.2-1.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-virtinst-0.400.2-1.fc10 python-virtinst-0.400.2-1.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update python-virtinst'.

You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-2612 Correct keyboard maps for Fedora Core 10 (generated by system-config-keyboard): ar-azerty, ar-azerty-digits, ar-digits, ar-qwerty, ar-qwerty-digits, be-latin1, ben, ben-probhat, bg_bds-utf8, bg_pho-utf8, br-abnt2, cf, croat, cz-lat2, cz-us-qwertz, de, de-latin1, de-latin1-nodeadkeys, dev, dk, dk-latin1, dvorak, es, et, fi, fi-latin1, fr, fr-latin1, fr-latin9, fr-pc, fr_CH, fr_CH-latin1, gr, guj, gur, hu, hu101, ie, is-latin1, it, it-ibm, it2, jp106, ko, la-latin1, mk-utf, nl, no, pl2, pt-latin1, ro, ro-cedilla, ro-std, ro-std-cedilla, ru, sg, sg-latin1, sk-qwerty, slovene, sr-cy, sr-latin, sv-latin1, tml-inscript, tml-uni, trq, ua-utf, uk, us, us-acentos I'm running a Swedish (sv-latin1) keyboard map and are experiencing the same issues. Perhaps a stupid questions, but, should the python-virtinst-fix apply for already installed virtual machines? (I'm thinking not, reading the name of the package..) This problem is persistent in: python-virtinst-0.400.0-5.fc10.noarch I'm trying out python-virtinst.noarch 0:0.400.3-1.fc10 but haven't had time to do an install yet. For already installed machines, it's the same problem. I'll get back with info as soon as I've done an install. It won't change the setup for existing machines. You can remove the vnc device via virt-manager, and re-add it with a proper keymap (you probably want 'sv' ) to try and sort it out. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Does this still happen on Fedora 10. Does this update help? http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-2612 python-virtinst-0.400.3-1.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
