[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@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.

Norwegian Language: What KEYTABLE is specified in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard? Did you set xen global keymap entry in /etc/xen/xen/xend-config.sxp? Something like: (keymap 'no') Do: xm list -l <your-vm> | grep -i keymap What shows up there? -- 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.

You need to do "rcxend restart" before the xend-config.sxp change can take effect. Keymap documentation: http://www.novell.com/documentation/sles10/xen_admin/index.html?page=/docume... For an individual VM I generally just add keymap entry to the VMs config file: - Stop the VM - Edit the VM's config file in /etc/xen/vm/foo and add this line: keymap="no" - Re-import the config into xend: xm new /etc/xen/vm/foo - Re-start the VM Keyboard now working properly? I added a mapping for "no-latin1" to "no" inside vm-install so this should be fixed in a future release. -- 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.

Hanssen <terje@nordland-teknikk.no> 2009-01-14 17:04:21 MST --- I wish to update with more experience: It looks for me now as the lack of National Language Keyboard Layout support is related specifically to the Virtual Machine Console (VMC) only, and this yelds for both windows and Linux virtual machines. What I've tested is the following three environments: - WindowsXP VMC doesn't support Norwegian Keyboard layout (at least this yelds for the Windows XP English version. I'll verify tomorrow if this also yelds for Windows XP Norwegian version on another workstation) - WindowsXP VM connected with rdp/rdesktop does supports Norwegian Keyboard layout (using connection with 'rdesktop -k no') - rhel5 VMC (installed CentOS 5.2) doesn't support Norwegian keyboard layout - rhel5 VM (installed CentOS 5.2) connected from external using 'ssh -X ip_vm' does support Norwegian Keyboard layout - openSUSE 10.3 VMC (with SLES10 dom0) doesn't support Norwegian keyboard layout - openSUSE 10.3 VM connected from external using 'ssh -X ip_vm' does support Norwegian Keyboard layout - openSUSE 10.3 VM connected from external using NoMachines NX does support Norwegian Keyboard layout -- 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.
