Feature changed by: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) Feature #305473, revision 17 Title: virt-manager: add option to set the keymap via UI for every VM openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) reject date: 2009-08-11 15:49:01 reject reason: too late for 11.2 Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Desirable Requested by: Michael Calmer (mcalmer) Description: If the default keyboard mapping does not work, it is difficult to set the keymap manual. A option in virt-manager to change the keymap setting via the UI for a single VM would be good to have. See also Bug #444632 Relations: - Wrong default keymap configured. Cannot enter important chars with vncviewer (novell/bugzilla/id: 444632) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444632 Discussion: #1: Santanu Bagchi (sbagchi) (2009-08-21 11:36:02) Per bugzilla 444632, change has been submitted to SLES 11 line - should therefore reflect in sp1. But the UI enhancement is a key aspect for this change. We need to understand the efforts to add an API in libvirt before we can expose it through VIrt-man.... #2: Jason Douglas (bigvbguy) (2009-09-09 16:42:23) It probably makes sense to add this to vm-install (if it's not already there) so that the keymap can be selected at install time in the event that it differs from the system default. + #3: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) (2009-11-04 17:29:03) + For vncviewer to work, qemu needs to be informed (in this case via + libvirt/virtmanager) about the connecting host's keymap - which is IMHO + a somewhat broken approach. + Is a per-VM keymap-setting really the proper approach to this? + Maybe if you run VMs for access from different places with different + keymaps, but you do not seem to have this in mind. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305473
