[Bug 212013] Re: Cannot send any key with AltGr
One update: The problem can also be reproduced with Xubuntu 8.04 instead of Windows XP. Emilio wrote: both with the client that works and the one that doesn't. Hmm, when you say client do you refer to the vnc client (vinagre) on my machine 1 or the X clients on my machine 2? There are too many clients here and maybe my configuration can be understood the easiest way be looking at the attached diagram. I have the old vnc client (well actually it's the old library libgtk- vnc-1.0-0 version 0.3.7-0ubuntu2) and it does not work with any X client. (That's what this bug is all about.) It does not produce any debugging information about keycodes when starting it using the command vinagre --gtk-vnc-debug. (maybe the library needs to be built with an certain flag turned on???) Next I have the new vnc client (well actually it's the new library libgtk-vnc-1.0-0 version 0.3.7-0ubuntu2.1) and it works with most X clients on the remote machine, but not with all. However, the debugging info from vinagre --gtk-vnc-debug, is always the same, regardless which X client on the remote machine has focus. debugging info looks like this: press keycode: 108 state: 0 group 0, keyval: 65027 press keycode: 20 state: 128 group 0, keyval: 92 release keycode: 20 state: 128 group 0, keyval: 92 release keycode: 108 state: 128 group 0, keyval: 65027 (Pressing AltGr, pressing the plus sign, which has the backslash in the AltGr position and releasing them in the opposite order) I guess the vnc client side there is no knowledge about who has focus on the vnc server side. Key presses are just blindly transmitted from the vnc client to the vnc server. But coming back to your question: Try investigating the output for vinagre --gtk-vnc-debug both with the client that works and the one that doesn't. I could not do this, because - only the new vnc client produced debugging output and - the debugging output is the same for both X clients where AltGr works and X clients where AltGr doesn't work. So I'm actually inclined to believe that your fix is valid for the vnc client side problem. (But there must be another bug somewhere in vino, the X server, or vmware running on my machine 2.) Just to exclude any doubts: As mentioned erlier AltGr *does* work correctly for all clients on machine 2 when typing on the physical keyboard of machine 2. ** Attachment added: my configuration http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21916217/vinagre-conf2.png -- Cannot send any key with AltGr https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 212013] Re: Cannot send any key with AltGr
Thanks Emilio!
libgtk-vnc-1.0-0 version 0.3.7-0ubuntu2.1 from the PPA tested with the
following setup
local machine (vinagre): Intrepid, Finnish keyboard
remote machine (vino): Hardy, Finnish keyboard
when using Emacs on the remote machine: All AltGr combinations work: @ £
$ { [ ] } \ € ~ |
However, when using Windows XP in Vmware Workstation in the remote machine,
AltGr combinations don't work. AltGr
doesn't seem to be received, the unaltered characters are produced.
Of course there now 2 closed source products involved and it would be
easy to blame them. However, what I don't understand is: Vmware is
externally nothing else but an X Windows client, isn't it? This X
Windows client can handle the input from the physical Finnish keyboard
correctly. Shouldn't the input from vino be exactly the same? So the
inner layers of closed source software shouldn't be able to tell the
difference and should have no chance to screw anything up.
Any advice how to debug this is welcome.

The attached patch is upstream gtk-vnc commit 247, which fixes this bug. I've prepared gtk-vnc packages for Intrepid in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~pochu/+archive. If you test the packages and they work fine, I'll consider proposing an SRU for this. Note that I haven't tested those packages myself. If there's interest I can also look at backporting the fix to Hardy, although I'm not sure that will be possible (I'd have to check).

Sorry again, I am really new to linux world... I have installed: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/amd64/vinagre/download (Vinagre 2.24.2) and I still have exactly same problems (ALT Gr + v = v, but i expect to be like this: ALT Gr + v = @) NumPad keys are arrows and not numbers, so I have to use xtightvncviewer for now, but I would really prefere Vinagre. -- Cannot send any key with AltGr https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If I can backport the fix, the update will show in the Update Manager as usual updates do.

Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex with Vinagre 2.24.1 and Apple Pro Keyboard with Swedish keyboard layout: - No AltGr is passed to 2 different host computers, both running RealVNC Xvnc 4.1.1 - NumPad with NumLock on in Ubuntu works ok, using Vinagre, host behaves as if NumLock is off - Pressing Ctrl-D to try and terminate a session results in a Make bookmark dialog instead of being sent to host. After dialog is closed Ctrl-C has to be pressed before control of the host is regained - otherwise all keyboard input is ignored or faulty.
