I have a following problem:

 

I have installed debian12 minimal netinstall, selected finnish keyboar(also tried swedish which is close to finnish), but i cannot type this character: |

 

for example : curl -qo- https://get.something.com | sudo bash

 

Every other letter seems to be in place, but not |

 

How do i fix this, im certain that during install i have selected correct ones, and in VM creation, there is not much space for error when selecting KB layout..

 

I can type it normally in unraid console.

Try changing the keyboard to none in vm template and it should use the language in the VM.

Im new to VM stuff, where do i find these templates, or can it be changed through unraid ui ? I also tried without selecting any keyboard layout when creating VM, and it was unusable, no matter what i tried i couldnt change KB layout in debian console(it wasnt even near what i selected when installing), i think VM settings did override every attempt.

 

EDIT correction, i let keyboard to default setting, US kb layout

When I refer to the template I mean the GUI page. Change VM Console keyboard to no keymap.

Im on a trial period with 6.12.13 if it matters.

The change is in the 7 beta but you can manually remove the keyboard from the XML, not if you change the VM via the gui it would put it back in.

 

Switch to form view

Scroll down to this section and remove the keymap entry some of the other bits may have different values.

 <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' websocket='-1' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='fi'>
