[Bug 457083] New: Virtual machine for WinXP doesn' t support National Language Keyboard layout

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457083 Summary: Virtual machine for WinXP doesn't support National Language Keyboard layout Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Xen AssignedTo: cgriffin(a)novell.com ReportedBy: terje(a)nordland-teknikk.no QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- With YaST2 I created a virtual machine for WindowsXP and succeeded to install Windows XP (Norwegian version) from CD-ROM installation source. A couple of issues during the early XP installation phases, as shown on the attached screenshots, were 1. Typing the <F8> key to accept the XP license agreement didn't work. Had to send F8 from the context menu instead 2. After copying the XP files, an error message told that the VM Console couldn't be opened, and the XP installation was quitted (disappeared). I had to manually start VM Manager from YaST to be able to continue the WinXP setup part of the installation Norwegian Language layout for the keyboard was selected during this setup. 3. The major issue that was discovered during the late XP setup, writing in the fields for user name and hostname, was the that the Norwegian keyboard language didn't work. When typing the special Norwegian keys for the characters 'æøå' or 'ÆØÅ', nothing was written, while typing '-' became '+' instead. After the installation, starting XP and WordPad, the same happened. (I think a related issue previous on Suse/SLE-10 prohibited to enter the right registering codes for Windows XP, as not all keys worked) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But the mouse pointer doesn't move smoothly (jumps) and can be prohibited or difficult to locate on and access menus on the desktop top or bottom bar. Works like a faulty bad roller mouse. Scrolling with the mouse wheel in configuration menus, has caused the windowsxp vmc to freeze for a while. This mouse issue cause that fullvirtualized Xen vm desktop guest are practical unuseable from the Virtual Machine Console (VMC). And as external connection to Windowsxp vm using rdesktop and i.e 'ssh -X' or 'NX' to the Linux vm desktops don't have this mouse pointer issues, it looks to be a specific related to TightVNC and VMC. 1. What about making these Xen Windows GPL PV drivers available also for openSUSE, maybe these can help on this mouse issue beside better performance? http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv 2. Maybe this Xen Mouse Howto document has som preconfiguration/tuning tip? http://os-drive.com/files/docbook/xen-mouse.html -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Let's see a sort example from the file /var/log/xen qemu-dm.29632.log: ############################################### Warning: no scancode found for keysym 507 Warning: no scancode found for keysym 507 Warning: no scancode found for keysym 507 Warning: no scancode found for keysym 507 Warning: no scancode found for keysym 501 Warning: no scancode found for keysym 501 Warning: no scancode found for keysym 507 Warning: no scancode found for keysym 507 Warning: no scancode found for keysym 507 Warning: no scancode found for keysym 507 ############################################### I figured out that the problem could by corrected by make qemu-dm use some of the keymaps under /usr/share/xen/qemu/keymaps by passing a -key CODE parameter to it. Or am I wrong? I also figured out that I can make xend to pass this parameter to qemu-dm by adding a keymap='CODE' line to the /etc/xen/vm/VM file. So I added the line keymap='hu' to the vm config file, and qemu-vm's command line really changed: milleniumfalcon:/var/log/xen # cat /proc/8046/cmdline | sed y/'\x0'/' '/ /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm -d 2 -vcpus 1 -boot c -localtime -serial pty -acpi -usb -usbdevice tablet -k hu -domain-name windowsvista -net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=00:16:3e:1a:4d:7d,model=rtl8139 -net tap,vlan=1 -vncunused -vnclisten 127.0.0.1 milleniumfalcon:/var/log/xen # cat /proc/8046/cmdline | sed y/'\x0'/' '/ The keyboard got a bit better but there are still missing keys, "ű" for example. I tried other keymaps with similar results. What may be wrong with these keymaps? Are they defectivein a way? I have no idea. Thist bug report is primarily about the possible errors int these keymap files, but I have other related quetions too: It wold be good to make it possible to change the keymap setting in vm-install if it is necessary at all. Furthermore I do not know where virt-manager gets the information about VMs from. Once I moved every file from /etc/xen/vm to the root directory, restarted virt-manager and in spite of the lack of VM description files it still remebered my guest VM. I also do not know, what keeps the files /etc/xen/vm/VM and /etc/xen/vm/VM.xml in synchron. So, if i add a keymap to the file /etc/xen/vm/VM then that VM will use that keymap if I start if by the xm command. But what happens if i start that VM from virt-manager? Do I also need to add the keymap to the file /etc/xen/vm/VM.xml? Or to a third file? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
