Subject: virt-viewer: on GRUB command line =-sign not supported
Package: virt-viewer
Version: 0.0.3-2
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Dear Debian folks,


thanks for packaging this great piece of software. I am using KVM and
with virt-manager and virt-viewer I set up a system using the
debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso from April 28th and installed
unstable and chose GRUB 2. update-grub -y failed though, chose without
bootloader and therefore rebooting I was dropped into the GRUB 1.96
command line.

Wanting to specify the root file system an equal-sign (=) is needed
(root=/dev/…). Unfortunately I cannot enter this sign. I use a German
keyboard and GRUB wants US-American layout. I tried all keys and =
should be on `-key (German). Hitting this key nothing showed up on the
GRUB command line in the virtual machine. In other windows it is
working.

I did not find anything relating to this on the WWW.


Thanks a lot,

Paul
