Hyper-V wrong keyboard layout on 2nd connect

Anonymous

I'm running an Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Virtual Machine in Hyper-V and I connect to it using an enhanced session.

The VM is created using the Hyper-V quick-create and everything is working as intended.

When I connect to the VM session for the first time my keyboard layout is Danish and I can use special characters (e.g. æøå). However, every time I disconnect from the running session and reconnect again, my keyboard layout is no longer working - it is using English keyboard layout even though the Ubuntu keyboard layout is set to Danish.

The only way I can get my Danish keyboard layout working again is by restarting the VM.

Any help much appreciated :-)

    Hi Peter

    Can you try disabling Enhanced session on that particular VM and see if it still happens?

    This is likely a bug the engineers are not away of. I would also recommend you file a bug report; send me the short link so I can vote on it and bring it to the attention of the Windows engineers.

    Hi Andre,

    Thank you for your assistance :-)

    The problem only happens when i use Enhanced session.

    There is no problems if I turn off Enhanced session support entirely, or if I just connect to the VM using basic session.

    I can see the problem already at the xrdp login screen (typing in the username field) when I connect the 2nd time to a running VM using enhanced session .

    Best regards

    Peter
