Hello.

I setup a test cluster with fireedge and I have an issue with the guacamole handling of keyboard.

My computer use [french bépo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%89PO) layout.

I instanciate a [Debian-12 appliance](https://marketplace.opennebula.io/appliance/6fa28310-9d85-013c-6070-7875a4a4f528) and I have issue with lots of keys.

Does someone have a hint to make sure each OpenNebula user can use their own local layout?

Hi @DaD,

I found this old post on the forum:

> [@Sunstone/Fireedge can't handle pt-br keyboard](https://forum.opennebula.io/t/sunstone-fireedge-cant-handle-pt-br-keyboard/10677):
>
> Hi! I’m trying to config a linux machine to use my pt-br keyboard, however with no success. I’m using the new Sunstone/FireEdge version. The VM Template and the VM itself are configured do use “pt-br” keybord map. Also tryed to set br-abnt2 keyboard in my Oracle Linux 8. Pleass, help! My VM is as follows: \<VM\> \<ID\>335\</ID\> \<UID\>0\</UID\> \<GID\>0\</GID\> \<UNAME\>oneadmin\</UNAME\> \<GNAME\>oneadmin\</GNAME\> \<NAME\>ol8-pt-br-vm01\</NAME\> \<PERMISSIONS\> \<OWNER\_U\>1\</OWNER\_U\> \<OWNER\_M\>1\</OWNER\_M\> \<OW…

And I’m checking with the team to see if they can give me some details on a possible solution or workaround.

Cheers,

@DaD

This is from the documentation in Guacamole:

> **[Configuring Guacamole — Apache Guacamole Manual v1.5.5](https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html#session-settings)**

It has some locales, looks like it includes this layout: fr-fr-azerty, not the bépo.

Cheers,
