I'm testing a bootable USB key with
udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdb1
sudo setfacl -m user:$USER:rw /dev/sdb
kvm -drive format=raw,file=/dev/sdb -m 2048
and I get the GRUB menu in the KVM window just fine, but arrow keys do
not work (and I have to use Ctrl+N/Ctrl+P to select the GRUB menu
entry).
Once Linux boots (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server livecd, with a text mode
ubiquity) arrow keys continue not working.
FWIW I get one message on the console about
unknown keycodes `(unnamed)', please report to [email protected]
during kvm startup.
I've also booted the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS desktop livecd and ran xev to take
a look. Up arrow sends some key event that's intercepted by the
(virtual) OS, so all I see is a FocusOut event. Down arrow sends no
event. Left arrow sends Alt_R, right arrow sends Pause. (Right Alt
sends KP_Enter. Fun!)
It looks like there exists a workaround: if I explicitly run kvm -k en-us,
things work fine. The manual page claims en-us should already be default?
My host OS is Ubuntu 17.10, and I'm using a Wayland session.
