I have an issue with virtual machines under qemu. Sequence as follows:
I press Numeric Lock (or Num Lock) so that the keyboard indicator lights up. I then switch to the workspace that contains a running virtual machine. The virtualised OS does not seem to be important, this happens with Debian and Rocky Linux. When I press keys on the numeric keypad I do not get numbers. What gets sent are the sequences that do Home, Page Up, ... I press Num Lock so that the keyboard indicator goes out. I press keys on the numeric keypad and get numbers. So: it seems that the state of the Num Lock key is not picked up by qemu. Is this is qemu bug or can I tweak the configuration ? Thanks in advance. I am running Debian 10 - Buster. I use the Mate desktop. -- Alain Williams Linux/GNU Consultant - Mail systems, Web sites, Networking, Programmer, IT Lecturer. +44 (0) 787 668 0256 https://www.phcomp.co.uk/ Parliament Hill Computers.
