      Hello Olivier,

      We are using FR (azerty) keyboard layout.

      Regards

          I said "very soon" 🙂 This month in theory. That will let you test the keyboard thing with a more recent version of NoVNC 🙂

            Do you experience the issue on Windows? (or another OS?)

                  Yup a test with XO Lite would be interesting until we get something fixed in XO 6 🙂

                    If you want to test quickly with XO Lite:

                    wget https://lite.xen-orchestra.com/dist/ -O /opt/xensource/www/xolite.html
                    

                    Then, from a Chrome based browser (console won't work in Firefox until we release a fix in XCP-ng), go to your host URL:

                    https://<HOST_IP>/xolite.html
                    

                    Then please report if your problem is solved.

                      Awesome. Thank you for the link.
                      We will try it asap (Friday is perfect for testing :D).

                        Note this is less than an alpha version, there's no CSS whatsoever, but you should be able to click on a running VM to access the console.

                          Just a question : I must DL this directly to my XenServer ?

                          Regards

                            Yes, the wget command must be run on your host directly, logged in SSH as root (or from the console).

                              I am using Swedish keyboard and I experience the sticky AltGr issue on all consoles on both Windows and Linux guests. There is no problem in XCP-ng center.

                              Using TrueNAS, there is a webbased shell/console which works fine with AltGr, so I think the current problem is a limitation of something in XO. It is very frustrating because I need AltGr to type things like '|' and '@' or '$', which I need often.

                                @S-Pam we already know that's a noVNC bug (the web VNC console we use in XO). It might be fixed in a more recent version, therefore the XO Lite test you should do 🙂

                                  Done ! I'm aware that it's a beta.
                                  At least, AltGr is working 😄
                                  Not sure about what I can do with XO lite for the moment except manager a VM through it, but it's a step forward 😄
                                  Thank You

                                    Okay so it means it's fixed in more recent noVNC versions 👍

                                    XO 6 will get the latest version, and XO Lite is about to be released with minimal "theme" for the end of the month.

                                    We hope to get first XO6 for the end of the year.

                                      XO 6 looks like it will be a nice release! Looking forward to it. Will you be writing something about it on the XOA blog?

                                        Yes we will (and we did!) See https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/devblog-3-working-on-xo-6/

                                        It's a BIG rework because we'll change the ENTIRE system, from the API to the UI, and various mechanisms.

                                          I remember reading it. It would be nice with a progress update 🙂

                                            Hello Everyone,

                                            Is XO6 available ?
                                            We are still running a XOA vm (licenced) but we don't use it because of AltGr problem.

                                            Regards,

                                            Vincent
