[X2go-dev] VirtualBox or KVM and x2go from Mac

[Neil W. Hunt]

Florian,

sorry for the delay in response, or for the double-post if someone's already help you solved your issue, but I thought I'd chime in as I may have had something similar. I have KVM running on an Ubuntu host and connect to it via virt-manager. At home on my Mac, I connect to it either directly via X11/SSH, or connect to my desktop via NX/x2go at work, and then to virt-manager on that desktop. In each case, the keyboard mapping is off by default when I type on a Mac - anything typed into the console view in virt-manager is mapped incorrectly. I have a workaround and that's to set each VM's keyboard mapping directly. If you run 
virsh edit YourVMName 

then set the node <graphics> with an additional element keymap to 'en-us' like so:
<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1' keymap='en-us'/>

and then all my mac keys worked fine.

Hope this helps,
Neil

Hi,

sorry for spamming this list, but I'm in the progress of setting up an
internal Document Foundation x2go server. :-)

I am having issues when using LXDE as desktop environment to control
VirtualBox or KVM (virt-manager) with x2go from Mac. Only some
commands seem to work -- if I boot e.g. Ubuntu in the virtual machine,
only page up works, but enter and page down to nothing in the
graphical GRUB boot menu, so the machine is unusable. I also tried
changing the keyboard settings in x2go client, to no avail. The same
server works just fine with the x2go client from Windows 7.

If I can be of any help in debugging, let me know ;)

Florian
