Hi Neil,
2011/1/7 Neil W. Hunt <nwhunt@vsticorp.com>:
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
thanks a lot! No worries, I'm also a bit behind my inbox right now. :)
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.
Do you have a similar solution for VirtualBox? We've switched to VirtualBox for the moment, but I have the same issues here :/
Thanks, Florian
