Hello,
I come from the Windows world and run a Debian server (jessie) without a graphical interface (no X server installed), keyboard and screen. Operation is normally via putty from the windows7-PC (German QWERTZU keyboard). On the Linux console all characters of the third level (AltGr or right Alt key) are displayed correctly! If I call xterm via x2go-Client (V. 1.1.1) the AltGr key has no effect!
The automatic keyboard recognition is activated at the client!
The files $HOME/.Xmodmap-x2go and $HOME/.Xkbmap-x2go do not exist on the server. The result of
@09:56:57#~# xmodmap -pke keycode 8 = Mode_switch NoSymbol Mode_switch keycode 9 = Escape NoSymbol Escape keycode 10 = 1 exclam 1 exclam onesuperior exclamdown onesuperior keycode 11 = 2 quotedbl 2 quotedbl twosuperior oneeighth twosuperior keycode 12 = 3 section 3 section threesuperior sterling threesuperior keycode 13 = 4 dollar 4 dollar onequarter currency onequarter keycode 14 = 5 percent 5 percent onehalf threeeighths onehalf keycode 15 = 6 ampersand 6 ampersand notsign fiveeighths notsign keycode 16 = 7 slash 7 slash braceleft seveneighths braceleft keycode 17 = 8 parenleft 8 parenleft bracketleft trademark bracketleft keycode 18 = 9 parenright 9 parenright bracketright plusminus bracketright keycode 19 = 0 equal 0 equal braceright degree braceright ... keycode 113 = ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift ...
But AltGr+0 do not display curly braces. For the sake of completeness, this information:
@10:07:13#~# xmodmap xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_R (0x74), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x8), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
Starting xev on the server an pressing the AltGr key displays KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x6b, subw 0x0, time 1033835042, (-99,-134), root:(662,1193), state 0x10, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
The directory /etc/X11/xkb on the server is empty, so setxkbmap reports an error under xterm!
For the pros among you, I will attach the log file to the following session:
- starting the x2go client
- start from xterm
- Key sequence QWERTZU[ENTER] AltGr+7[ENTER] exit[ENTER]
- closing the x2go-client
Someone an idea?
