Nope, it crashes as soon as I try to start a VM, just after saying it can't catch the mouse. Anyone here who's familiar with debugging this stuff? I'm out of my depth.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] keyboard in the login window
In regard to: [OpenIndiana-discuss] keyboard in the login window, Marc...: I recently installed openindiana 2019.04, which runs fine except one detail: when the graphical interface starts and displays a small window where to type the login and passwd, I must type this login and password assuming that the keyboard layout is US. However as soon as I am logged in, the keyboard is considered as BE (which is what I want:the PC has a belgian keyboard layout. Does one of you know how to tell this graphical login program to use the BE keyboard layout ? I'm not completely clear on the division of responsibilities between 'lightdm' and the 'gtk-greeter', but people on other OSes that have had the same keyboard layout issue with lightdm, such as https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1082730-start-0.html have generally solved it by adding a small X config snippet to a directory (which varies by distribution). On OI, I would try create a file something like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/95-keyboard-be.conf And start with contents in that file like: Section "InputClass" Identifier "keyboard BE layout " MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "be" #Option "XkbVariant" "be_nodeadkeys" EndSection If you need to define a "variant", it looks like /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst has several variants for BE: oss be: Belgian (alt.) oss_latin9 be: Belgian (alt., Latin-9 only) oss_sundeadkeys be: Belgian (alt., with Sun dead keys) iso-alternate be: Belgian (alt. ISO) nodeadkeys be: Belgian (no dead keys) sundeadkeys be: Belgian (with Sun dead keys) wangbe: Belgian (Wang 724 AZERTY) Once you've created that file, I'm not sure if just logging out of the desktop is enough to get it to be read or if a full X11 restart is needed. Please report back if that fixes it or not, and if just a logout was needed or if a full restart of X11 was needed.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] keyboard in the login window
Hello, I recently installed openindiana 2019.04, which runs fine except one detail: when the graphical interface starts and displays a small window where to type the login and passwd, I must type this login and password assuming that the keyboard layout is US. However as soon as I am logged in, the keyboard is considered as BE (which is what I want:the PC has a belgian keyboard layout. On older versions of openindiana and on solaris 11, I did not have this problem. Does one of you know how to tell this graphical login program to use the BE keyboard layout ?
