There are several things you could try to help to nail down the problem: Try another VNC viewer (e.g. vinagre). To find out what vnc port to connect to use: virsh start virsh vncdisplay The display should be s.th. like: 127.0.0.1:10 The port is 5900 + so 5910 in the above example. So to use vinagre it would be: vinagre 127.0.0.1:5910 If you still can't input the "=" then it's not a problem with virt-viewer but with qemu. Could you also paste you qemu commandline please? It shoud have a "-k de". If this isn't the case you can change it either via virt-manager or by editing the keymap attribute in the domains xml.

I looked into the log file (/var/log/libvirt/qemu/) and it showed the following warning. Warning: no scancode found for keysym 0 I also tried to install Debian again and tested the key during this and it was also not recognized there (normal or graphical) – also then this warning was not written to the log. The warning appears only if I hit Shift + `. So this problem seems to be related to qemu. Maybe this bug [1] is related to this. If yes, could you please reassign this bug. If you have an ideo how I get the = key to be entered into qemu that would be perfect.

Subject: virt-viewer: on GRUB command line =-sign not supported Package: virt-viewer Version: 0.0.3-2 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** Dear Debian folks, thanks for packaging this great piece of software. I am using KVM and with virt-manager and virt-viewer I set up a system using the debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso from April 28th and installed unstable and chose GRUB 2. update-grub -y failed though, chose without bootloader and therefore rebooting I was dropped into the GRUB 1.96 command line. Wanting to specify the root file system an equal-sign (=) is needed (root=/dev/…). Unfortunately I cannot enter this sign. I use a German keyboard and GRUB wants US-American layout. I tried all keys and = should be on `-key (German). Hitting this key nothing showed up on the GRUB command line in the virtual machine. In other windows it is working. I did not find anything relating to this on the WWW.
