Keyboard setting

Buketd — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 11:38:56 GMT

Hi, I installed Oracle virtual box and then Cloudera quick start ın it. I have to look for all letters because location of most of them have changed. For example / is on different place. Is there any solution?

Hi @Buketd,

A quick google search shows this seems to be a common issue but opinions vary on if it is an issue with the host or guest system. Both sides agree that is has to do with a misconfiguration of the keyboard. I would check the configuration on your system and in the VM to see if they are set to the appropriate language and layout.

How to do this depends on the operating system you are using for each.

Hi,

O/S is Lunix quickstart.cloudera 2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 23 15:44:03 UTC 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

How can I solve the issue?

I may not have been clear, please provide the following.

Host OS :

Guest OS :

The keyboard layout on both should match up. I was able to find a website with information on keyboard settings for different linux distributions. I'm not as familiar with Linux as I would like so I cannot speak to its accuracy.

Hi,

I solved the problem. I fixed it thru System/preferences/keyboard/layout.

Thanks a lot.
