Shared resources & setup Keyboard layout

Post by Elric61 »

Hi Guys

First off i'm joining everybody to claim that your OS is great : simple, fast to install and to use !

I'm testing WTware with Pi2 to replace Windows Thin PC in order to take control of Win7 VMs.
I'm facing 2 problems below :

Case 1 - shared ressources through USB
- When i use Windows remote desktop client from a PC :
USB key,old camera (Nikon Coolpx P4), smartphone ( LG G4 in MTP mode) and barcode scanner are recognized in Windows :D
- When i use WTware from Pi2 :
USB key and barcode scanner are recognized in Windows :D
Smartphone and the old camera are not recognized :(
I tried to use serial parameter (with or without USB ID) but with no chance
Do you have an idea what i could try to solve this issue ?

Case 2 - Layout at WTware setup
I press Del to enter WTware setup and i switch to wifi
Then i need to enter the passphrase and here's my problem :
the keyboard is in english, the entered characters are replaced by stars and my passphrase is really complex.
To be sure to enter the right passphrase is it possible to switch to french layout instead of default english keyboard ?

Thanks !

1. disk = usb, if smartphone and camera supports mass storage mode. No solution for PTP and MTP mode now.
2. I don't understand. You password is complex, so you want to see characters you input? Or you use special characters from French locale you use in password?

Yes exactly : lot of french & special characters in passphrase.
So wIth english layout and a french keyboard (AZERTY) it's impossible to enter them correctly.

Sorry, layout in wifi password is not easy. But we've just added "F3 View password" key.
