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I have been reading this thread about CPVM non US keyboard support but it seems out of date now : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Support+for+non-US+keyboards+in+Console+Proxy
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

Hi
This is still an issue - The VM is set to UK keyboard in the settings.
Specifically, it is an issue with the CPVM vnc clipboard functionality that is mapping the UK keyboard to US
I can type in an open document on the VM with no issues and characters typed on a UK keyboard are correctly mapped- but if I use the vnc clipboard UK character keys such as #, @, " , £ etc are mapped incorrectly when pasted into the document and are converted to the us equivalent keys.

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.
Regards,
Pearl
