Just posted this to the mailing list: Thanks. I checked out the 2.11 version that Ubuntu 18.04 shipped and found the problem:
commit a7815faffb2bd594b92aa3542d7b799cc89c5414 Author: Gerd Hoffmann <[email protected]> Date: Thu Oct 5 17:33:30 2017 +0200 pc-bios/keymaps: keymaps update Update the keymaps with the ones generated by qemu-keymap Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <[email protected]> Message-id: [email protected] Prior to this commit, this file said it was generated from XKB, and was much smaller, not including the scan code for that other key. This commit added the 0x56 bar translation with altgr, and it wasn't until after 2.12 those smarts were inserted to pick the scancode that matches the current modifier keys. So I think it should be as simple as removing this one line from the keymap file and we can SRU a fix! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787267 Title: Can't type | ( pipe ) over vnc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1787267/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
