Num lock state for phyical key board read and set for vm

[Studmuffin1134]

The only feature I miss from Vmware's ESXI and Vcenter is how it could know that if you had your num lock on your keyboard on it would be on in the vm i dont know if you would have to do that through an option in the bios and or uefi firmware or if that could be a option in the advanced vm settings either way it would be nice

Hi,

Just to be sure: what you'd like to have is when you get access to the console, the num lock would be enabled by default, right?

Might be related or not, but posting as reference to investigate further:

• Add support for QEMU LED State pseudo encoding novnc/noVNC#1795
• https://bugzilla.cendio.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400

but i dont use vnc typically if i need to do something quick i do it in the remote console insed of xo

So I'm not sure to understand. You want the VM to get caps lock on at boot then, regardless the way you access it?

It might be more an XCP-ng feature request than XO :) (also you have XO Lite BTW)

[Studmuffin1134]

I did try it in xo lite it did not work and i dont think it is a feature in xcp-ng or xo i think it might be something u will need to do to the bios and uefi layer like TIANO core

[olivierlambert]

Please try with XO Lite in case to confirm, and then we'll probably open a GH issue for XCP-ng project to investigate which component is doing this.

alright

[Studmuffin1134]

yeah no she dont work i had to cycle my num lock after reboot of the vm in order to get it to work

Okay so probably an investigation for the XCP-ng team :) Please open an issue at https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues

Closing here!
