Description Jonas Israelsson 2016-04-28 10:24:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
The VNC keyboard layout set in the web-iu never reach the vm.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.6.x

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a vm to use VNC and set some keyboard layout, like Swedish.
2. Start the vm
3. In the host/node look at the vm's xml definition, the keyboard layout is missing, hence the -k switch to kvm-qemu is not set.

Actual results:
The default keyboard layout (probably US) is always used.

Expected results:
The keyboard layout set in the web-ui being used.

Comment 3 Francesco Romani 2016-04-29 12:58:06 UTC 
This fix is Engine side.
During the investigation and the fixing, we discovered few Vdsm improvements which are attached to this BZ, but they are secondary.
Comment 4 Francesco Romani 2016-05-18 15:50:36 UTC 
doc_text not needed, this bug is simple and self-explanatory.
Comment 5 Francesco Romani 2016-05-24 16:00:32 UTC 
The additional Vdsm patch (57932) is a further improvement, the fix is engine side, already merged, so reverting to MODIFIED.
Comment 6 meital avital 2016-06-19 12:42:11 UTC 
Verified on version: 3.6.7.2-0.1.el6


Verified steps:
1. Configure a vm to use VNC and set some keyboard layout -> 'sv'
2. Start the vm

In the host: 
<graphics type='vnc' port='5903' autoport='yes' listen='10.35.5.1' keymap='sv'
