iga Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hi guys, I have a few linux vms created with unraid and I am struggling to find a way to type pipe(|) in terminal via unraid vnc, either the browser version of novnc or tightvnc viewer. the keyboard mapping are all default to us keyboard, they all turn '|' to '>' for either lubuntu, manjaro or mxlinux. when I ssh in, everything works just fine. Could anyone give some suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment
juanamingo Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) I'm having the same issue and not only does typing the '|' character ('shift + \' ) produce '>' and not the expected '|' but the '<' key ('shift + ,') also produces '>' and not the expected '<'. typing the non-shifted characters works fine, \ and , I've tried the browser vnc, tight vnc and tiger vnc. unraid 6.5.3 arch linux typing 'SHIFT + \' produces '>' and 'SHIFT + <' produces '>' ubuntu 14.04 typing 'SHIFT + \' produces '>' and 'SHIFT + <' produces '>' osx high sierra both 'SHIFT + \' and 'SHIFT +' , produce a '+' over top a '_' (a "plus-minus" symbol if you will) windows 10 - the '\' and '|' can be typed fine, but 'SHIFT + ,' produce '|' instead of '<' and 'SHIFT + .' produce '|' instead of '>' If any logs or anything are needed, please lmk Edited August 3, 2018 by juanamingo Quote Link to comment
bubo Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I am also experiencing the same issue reported here. ubuntu 16.04 typing 'SHIFT + \' produces '>' and 'SHIFT + <' produces '>' I was setting up a new server when I experienced this issue. I then tried booting an existing Ubuntu server that I've used for 2 years, initially setup in an unRAID VM with no issues with the pipe character. When trying to type a pipe character, this old server also produced a > instead of |. This appears to be an issue with either unRAID, or more likely the noVNC being used. Quote Link to comment
eschultz Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 These keyboard issues are solved in the upcoming unRAID 6.6 -- it includes an updated version of QEMU that has the keyboard mappings fixed. 2 Quote Link to comment
bubo Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 OK, thank you for the quick answer. 6.5.3-rc2 is out now, so I believe 6.6 is currently being worked on? Until 6.6 is ready, does anyone have a workaround that can be employed? Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Latest official version is 6.5.3. rc = release candidate and is mainly used for testing purposes, please update if you are still on a rc release. Quote Link to comment

Is 6.6 anywhere close to going to the RC phase? Quote Link to comment
eschultz Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Probably in a week. QEMU 3.0 was just released so we'll get that in to the public unRAID 6.6-rc release too. 3 Quote Link to comment

Any chance that includes the HTML5 SPICE client and SPICE integration? Spice is way more cohesive to a VM than VNC is. Quote Link to comment

BlueSialia Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hello, Was this bug reintroduced at some point? I'm using unRAID 6.8.3 and I have this issue. Quote Link to comment
Dtrain Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 can report same issue --- not working with 6.83 Quote Link to comment
ronin688 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I've been experiencing this issue as well. I can't type the | character, and several other keys are swapped such as # and ~. I may not have noticed but I'm taking an Intro to Linux course and just got to a section dealing with pipes. The keyboard works just fine in any other app, works fine on the unraid terminal, docker terminals etc. I've tried changing the keyboard layouts in the various vm's I've got running with no effect. I'm running the ENG (Canada) layout on the Win10 machine that is accessing the vm's using VNC. Would love to find a fix for this! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Chlorgas Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) I've got the same issue on unraid 6.9.2. It's not possible for me to activate the "nodeadkey"-Layout in the VM-template nor the installed linux. Has someone a viable workaround for this issue?

Just realised I hadn't mentioned that in my post. I've also tested this with VMware and the keyboard works fine. Quote Link to comment
Chlorgas Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hey, there! Does no one have a viable solution to the problem or some hints into any direction? Quote Link to comment
illiewillie Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I am also on 6.9.2 and I have the same issue, but using Belgian keyboard on 2 VMs: Ubuntu & Linux Mint Cannot type anything using Alt-GR: | @ € ~\ ` ´ [ ] { } # I would very much appreciate a fix or workaround for this as this makes this unusable.

Chlorgas Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Does anybody know, if that bug will be fixed in the upcoming version of unraid? Quote Link to comment
Chlorgas Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 As stated on reddit the problem is known and should be solved with 6.10-rc3 as well as the upcoming release of 6.10. Quote Link to comment
Felixen Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If it's just now and then try to copy paste the character you want to use. Have worked for me in various console / serial terminals. Of course not for the long haul but as a quick-fix it should do the trick. Quote Link to comment
Chlorgas Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Via no-VNC and QEMU-BIOS I'm not able to copy/paste something. Quote Link to comment
JQNE Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Its 2024 and problem is still there. I'm not able to do anything in Fedora command line. Copy/paste not working. "|" character impossible to create. Really no one has figured this out? Quote Link to comment
