[SOLVED] keyboard problem arrows pagedown+up in citrix or qemu-kvm

Hi,

I couldn't really find anything similar on the forums here. Since all of a sudden I've got problems with my keyboard. It must have been something to do with update I've done today. Rebooting was not helping, though I tried just in case.

The strange thing is the arrow keys + the little block of keys with pagedown+up+home are not functioning in a:
1) Citrix environment
2) Qemu-kvm environment

These environments were working perfectly fine before. Besides not functioning there are keystrokes being passed to those environments that are not made by me. I highly suspect this is the Alt-key.  In Linux itself there is no problem to be seen.

Has anyone a clue how I can restore the old correct behaviour? I myself suspect the upgrade of Udev-140 or the kernel-2.6.28-8 to cause this behaviour.

Thanks for any help

Had the same problem man.  Look at the qemu page in the wiki.

Thanks a lot

Adding the argument "-k en-us" fixes the problem at least for qemu-kvm. That's good enough for me. I've installed an image of windows because the citrix environment had problems. It turned out the qemu-kvm environment had the same problems. Now at least the last one works.
