Hi,

Can you try with XO Lite and/or XO 6 console and tell me if you have the same issue?

Never found any resolution to this, some times you're able to "restore" the keyboard by trying to type some different special characters (in my case | or > or <) but it only works some times.

This is super annoying when you're trying to do some basic troubleshooting inside a VM from the console.

/v6 worth a try, I think it's solved in there (and also in XO Lite)

How can i get the v6 console ?
i'm using XOCE (not XOA) for testing xcp for now.

@Chico008 easiest is to switch to another tab, like stats, and then back to console.

xcp-ng center might be an alternative as works better in this regard.

You can deploy v6 on XOCE, outlined here, specifically run yarn run turbo run build --filter @xen-orchestra/web from your /opt/xen-orchestra directory, with admin rights.

Really this forum needs pinning for repeat asks like this for easier reference...

@DustinB
tried your command, it runs OK, restarted the vm hosting XOCE, but still have the same issue
after typing an @ in console, char following are wrong
