On a Debian buster system running Gnome via Wayland, where host keymap is German (DE), I can't manage to get certain special characters such as @
(AltGr+Q
) or €
(AltGr+E
) printed. Same for square brackets (AltGr+8/9
) and so son.
I don't think it's an obvious keymap/locale mismatch, as all Shift+[0-9]
combinations result in the correct symbols. Also the German-specific ÄÖÜ
-keys work as expected.
Funny enough though '|
' (AltGr+<
) work, so it's not all AltGr
-combinations.
PS: Most of the time writing this bug report was spent in copy+pasting above special characters, as this browser window was started via Xpra :)
mirko: please include a little more information as per wiki/ReportingBugs. ie: versions used, client and server output.
Version is as of Debian buster: ii xpra 2.5.2+dfsg1-2 amd64
One unusual thing might be, that I'm starting xpra under a different user than my desktop (wayland/Xwayland) is running on.

No. Please don't paste hundreds of lines into a ticket, that's what attachments are for.
Please see wiki/Keyboard. Is the keyboard layout detected correctly? What is in your server log? Client output? etc..
Does this occur if you switch to X11? I don't have wayland on my main system, and I have no idea how I would configure a german keyboard layout using a wayland display manager.
Partial keyboard layout detection for pure wayland clients was added in r23321. This may help. You can try one of the latest beta builds.
Though I would have expected your xpra client to be using X11 running through Xwayland, which should have used the X11 keyboard detection path. The layout detected can be seen clearly in both the client and server output.
Feel free to re-open if you can provide more details.
I had probably the same issue with Debian testin, KDE Plasma on wayland and Swedish keyboard so maybe this can help someone.
Running setxkbmap -query
gave layout us
.
I fixed it by running setxkbmap -layout se
before launching xpra
.
