Hello all,
Hi!
I'm running guacamole-1.1.0, both client and server on the same machine. The remote computer I connect to is a Hyper-V VM running Xubuntu 20.04 x86_64 Linux 5.4.0-42-generic.In the guacamole connection properties, I have selected the keyboard layout for this connection German (Qwertz).In the VM, I also selected the german keyboard. I connect via RDP and also selected the0x0407 de German (Germany) layout in XRDP.Now, whenever I want to write the tilde character (the upper key on the left side of enter), I press ALTGR + TILDE and and the result is '\ ', a backslash with a space. But it should write ~ instead.
I had pretty much the same issue. The difference was that it completely screwed up typing on my side.
I also have tried various keyboard layouts already. It seems nothing works. It also does not work on Windows machines as well. It also does not work either in Chrome or Firefox.It's pretty annoying because I can't navigate into my home directory using a command line without using google to search for the tilde character, copy it and paste it into my terminal window.It would be nice if someone maybe knows what I'm doing wrong.
You are not doing anything wrong, but you might need to build your own guacd.
The tilde and some other stuff are defined in the keymap of guacamole-server and are marked dead keys and are imported at compile time.
Before building the guacamole-server, I deleted the "dead keys" section from the keymap and added:
map +altgr -shift 0x1B ~ "~" to the section "Keys requiring AltGr" You can find the keymap in the unpacked source package: guacamole-server-1.1.0/src/protocols/rdp/keymaps/de_de_qwertz.keymapOnce you rebuild and start the guacd, the tilde will work. At least it works in my setup. :)
