changing input language keyboard

Post by clashbash » Wed Jun 18, 2025 4:46 am

Good morning everyone,
I hope you had a good start in the day :)

I have a problem with the input keys. I searched the web and the forum, unfortunately I haven't found a solution. I hope you can help me, and IAM sorry If there is a topic I haven't found.

So I use a German keyboard for my host system. My nodes are German to and the keyboard is it to. But when I use the cli in a node, it's a English keyboard. Following steps a I have done:

EVE-NG Host Installed console-data, selected and activated German keymap
Guacamole Config Set keyboard-layout=de in XML or via web interface
Target Node Set layout via setxkbmap de or loadkeys de

Nothing worked. I think the problem is the html5 console/guacamole.

Greetings 👋
