I can't input text through my keyboard in graphical console

I can't input text when started the install in a new xen instance. The domu OS is Centos 6.5. And another problem is with the mouse cursor is not aligned at all, I need to do a hard work for click on a button, I can only test with flash interface, the java applet isn't working.

Some info about my server:

  • System: CentOS release 6.7 (Final)
  • Xen Kernel: 3.18.21-16.el6.x86_64
  • Webmin Version: 1.770
  • Cloudmin Version: 8.3

Note: when trying to put any text in the graphical console, only one o two words go to the console screen and the rest of the letters text like a new search for functions/options in the panel. Screenshot attached.

Server firewall (iptables) is OFF

Thanks in advance

Perhaps this is browser related? Does the same thing happen if you try a different browser?

I tested with latest versión of Chrome and Firefox under Linux/Ubuntu and Windows XP SP3 with the latest version of flash and has the same problem.

Maybe try changing your theme in Cloudmin to see if that makes any difference? You might want to select the "Virtualmin Framed Theme", at Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> Themes.

Sorry for my late answer, I'm working too hard in the server on the last days. About this bug with the panel, the same problem is for two themes, the theme I have right now and the default provided with Webmin. For now, the only fast solution I can do is connect through VNC behind the Xen Server with his ip:port and password provided by the graphical console.

I wonder if the two issues you say (the pointer position and text going to the wrong place) are actually part of the same problem. Could it be that unless the actual mouse pointer (on your desktop) is in the console window, text is going to the regular Cloudmin UI instead?
