[Qemu-discuss] keyboard issues with vnc graphics

[Ratliff, John]

I'm running an ubuntu 18.04 guest on a ubuntu 18.04 host with vnc graphics.

Some of the keyboard buttons aren't working properly, and I'm not sure how to 
remedy it. Hoping someone here has an answer.

Biggest problem: Trying to enter pipe symbol (|) always comes out as angle 
bracket (>). I have a generic US 104-key keyboard. I've setup the keymap on 
ubuntu for US generic 104-key with no special keys. Two more keys have problems 
as well, the open angle bracket (<) also comes out as (>). And on the numpad, 
the 5 key does nothing at all. All other keys appear to be working properly.

I don't think it's an Ubuntu problem, because if I launch tigervnc server and 
connect to that, the keys work fine.

What can I do to resolve this?

Thanks.
