virt-manager is buggy with trying to set the keymap. This commit should fix it with reasonably new qemu: http://hg.fedorahosted.org/hg/virt-manager/rev/99cf13a133f3 You can probably fix your issue by removing the keymap= piece from the <graphics> device using 'virsh edit VMNAME' and restarting your guest. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
