Running an Ubuntu virtualized virtual guest inside a virtual KVM host inside VMware Fusion 4 for OSX?
You may have noticed that when ssh -X to the virtual KVM host machine then attaching to virtual guest graphic console (VNC) via the graphical utility, virt-manager, the key ‘a’ doesn’t work!
Alas, a broken keymap! It’s like if Leonardo DiCaprio was running around with a missing right eye in the Inception hotel.
How to fix the easy way?
