On iKVM, when i type keys like -,?, etc.. i get different characters on KVM console.
I changed keyboard language in iKVM Preferences, but it did not change anything.
The problem is caused by OS on server installed with non English language, on SSH, it did show english, but for console, keyboard layout was set to “de” instead of “en”.
[email protected]:~# cat /etc/default/keyboard # KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE # Consult the keyboard(5) manual page. XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="de" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="" BACKSPACE="guess" [email protected]:~#
On debian server, it was fixed by running
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
After running dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration, /etc/default/keyboard get changed to
[email protected]:~# cat /etc/default/keyboard # KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE # Consult the keyboard(5) manual page. XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="" BACKSPACE="guess" [email protected]:~#
Other language related settings can be done with command
dpkg-reconfigure locales
