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@novell.com ReportedBy: terje@nordland-teknikk.no QAContact: qa@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.
