Greetings. We are under the impression the the keyboard layout for the VNC-server is missing from a vm's xml definition, hence the same default layout is always used. We therefore (just to test) created a small host hook adding a static keyboard layout, and with the hook, it seem to work as expected as the -k switch to kvm is now populated. vm started with our hook <graphics type='vnc' port='5904' autoport='yes' keymap='sv' passwd='***********' passwdValidTo='2016-04-11T09:21:09'> <listen type='network' address='192.168.42.113' network='vdsm-ovirtmgmt' fromConfig='0'/> </graphics> and one without <graphics type='vnc' port='5903' autoport='yes' passwd='*****' passwdValidTo='1970-01-01T00:00:01'> <listen type='network' address='192.168.42.113' network='vdsm-ovirtmgmt' fromConfig='0'/> </graphics> oVirt Engine Version: 3.6.3.4-1.el7.centos Node: oVirt Node Hypervisor release 3.6 (0.999.201512141021.el7.centos) Is this a known issue ?

No one ? I've tested now also with a hosted engine setup. Can't see there either that the keyboard layout information set in the web-ui ever reaches the VM. Think we have a bug here. Rgds, Jonas On 11/04/16 17:43, Jonas Israelsson wrote:

Hi, sorry for late response
I've tested now also with a hosted engine setup. Can't see there either that the keyboard layout information set in the web-ui ever reaches the VM.
That should work. HE is a bit different, and noVNC client doesn't support keymaps properly, but you should see it in xml Does spice work? Any special reason you can't use it?
Think we have a bug here.
Looks like that is a regression indeed. Feel free to open bug yourself, it shouldn't be difficult to fix Thanks, michal

Does spice work? Any special reason you can't use it? Spice does work. I do however prefer a web based console, and the spice
based is in a very sorry state.

indeed, but bear in mind the noVnc client is also not so great on keyboard mappings anyway. Swedish might be ok, but if it is not, then please rather check with standalone client
