What Should I Do If I Cannot Use the German Keyboard to Enter Characters When I Log In to a Linux ECS Using VNC?

Changing the OS Keyboard Language

Run the following command to change the OS keyboard language:

loadkeys keymapfile

keymapfile is the name of the file for the mapping between keys and displayed characters.

For example, if the name of a German keyboard mapping file is de, run the loadkeys de command.

For instructions about how to configure the keyboard language for a Linux ECS, see Remotely Logging In to a Linux ECS (Using VNC).

Procedure

  • For all Linux ECSs, characters â, ê, ô, û, and î cannot be entered properly. To enter such characters, use either of the following methods:

    Method 1: Press ^+Space+Letter key.

    Method 2: Click ^° on the VNC page and then press the suitable key on the keyboard.

  • For all Linux ECSs, characters ², ³, {, [, ], }, \, @, €, |, and µ cannot be entered properly. To enter such characters, use the following method:

    Click AltGr on the VNC page and then press the suitable key on the physical keyboard.

    An example is provided as follows:

    To obtain character ², perform the following operations:

    1. Click AltGr on the VNC page.

      This operation is successful if AltGr turns red.

    2. On a physical keyboard, press key 2.

      The system displays special characters ².

    3. Click AltGr on the VNC page again to cancel the hold-down state.
  • For all Linux ECSs, character ~ cannot be entered properly. To enter such a character, use the following method:

    Click AltGr on the VNC page and then press the tilde (~) key on the keyboard twice.

  • For ECSs running CentOS 7, the following characters cannot be entered normally: ^ ´ `

    To enter these characters, press the key on the keyboard twice and then press Space.

  • For ECSs running CentOS 7, when Caps Lock is enabled, the following characters cannot be entered normally: Ö Ä Ü

    To enter these characters, hold Shift and press the letter key on the keyboard.
