Hi all! I'm using VirtualBox OSE on a host without a GUI and I'm trying to connect via VNC to install a VM with Debian Squeeze. The syntax I use on VirtualBox OSE to start the VM is the following: $ VBoxHeadless -startvm Debian --vnc --vncport 5901 When I get the hostname configuration screen, seems not to receive keystrokes. What does not work is to write the hostname, but I can use the arrow keys to go back or continue. ALT+Shift gets the keyboard numbers and letters working again [1]. Then I can enter Capital and press Caps Lock again and it return to normal. But it seems that the keyboard is misconfigured. I have a spanish keyboard and, for example, if I type ":" I get an "Ñ", or pressing ")" I get an "=". I tried several clients (xtightvncviewer and xvnc4viewer) and I found the same behavior on VirtualBox 3.2.4 (Lenny Backports) and VirtualBox 3.2.10 (Squeeze). Has anyone experienced this behavior and was able to resolve in any way? Thanks in advance.
