Hi Gary, Can you please check the specific VM's settings - specifically the keyboard setting. If it is pointing to 'us' change it to 'uk'. This would however require you to first shutdown the VM.

From: Gary Dixon <[email protected]> Sent: 26 July 2022 08:57 To: [email protected] Subject: CPVM VNC clipboard character mapping Hi everyone I’m sure this must have been raised before but I am struggling to find any recent documentation for this issue. We have ACS 4.15.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 for mgmt. and KVM hosts and I am seeing an issue where if I use the console proxy VNC viewer on any of my Windows based instances – certain characters are mapped incorrectly For example if I put the following characters into the clipboard : “@| And then ‘send’ them into a notepad file on the guest – they map to the following characters : @”# However if I type the characters directly into the open notepad file on the guest – they do type correctly. So it appears that the console proxy VNC viewer clipboard is translating the characters as ‘US’ keyboard rather than ‘UK’ keyboard. I have been reading this thread about CPVM non US keyboard support but it seems out of date now : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Support+for+non-US+keyboards+in+Console+Proxy<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcwiki.apache.org%2Fconfluence%2Fdisplay%2FCLOUDSTACK%2FSupport%2Bfor%2Bnon-US%2Bkeyboards%2Bin%2BConsole%2BProxy&data=05%7C01%7CGary.Dixon%40quadris.co.uk%7Cc9a9cc7a70374ab7390308da6edc6913%7Cf1d6abf3d3b44894ae16db0fb93a96a2%7C0%7C1%7C637944190181732004%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Oliclbrw8Vnoeuwx9wdS1V9L91T8tifau58YMq6ROUA%3D&reserved=0> I’m sure there will be a straight forward fix for this issue – as at the mment we have to be careful about what characters we use in passwords – etc as they currently are pasting incorrectly using the vnc viewer clipboard. Any advice would be greatly appreciated BR Gary Dixon Technical Consultant T: 0161 537 4980<tel:0161%20537%204980> W: www.quadris.co.uk<http://www.quadris.co.uk> [cid:[email protected]] The information contained in this e-mail from Quadris may be confidential and privileged for the private use of the named recipient.
