      KVM, Virt Mach. Mgr, under Edit, Pref, Graphics type:
      if Spice is selected, I get no keyboard functions in the vm
      if VNC is selected, keyboard strokes are fine.

      You KVM experts, why is this ?

            Interesting. Does this happen with any VM you're attempting to install? As in other ISOs etc?

              Maybe a known bug?

                Yes it does, once the ISO loads up on the screen, I can't use my keyboard to scroll up/down.

                    Are you using Virt-Viewer or Virt-Manager?

                    If you are using Virt-Manager, create SSH password less login between the 2 machines and try again.

                    Also how many times does it prompt for root password when you first connect to the VM ?

                    And what OS are you using for Virt-Manager ?

                    And there is an option for key mapping in Virt-Manager, you can make it auto or en-US

                      The VM doesn't existyet. There is no keyboard available during the process of trying to install the operating system

                      And there is an option for key mapping in Virt-Manager, you can make it auto or en-US

                      I don't see any such option under Preferences, New VM

                        I mean password-less SSH login between the Virtt-Manager and the KVM host, but maybe you are using both on the same machine i guess, right ?

                        If that is the case this disregard passwordless SSH stuff

                        Here is the option:

                        0_1495727067071_2017-05-25 18_44_10-localhost.Home - VMware ESXi.png
