incorrect keyboard layout for Linux servers

[Geordie12311]

I have a strange issue going on. When I build a linux server (Ubuntu and Centos) in Eve-ng even though I choose UK keyboard layout some of the keys don't function such as #.
Tried changing keyboard layouts but seems to affect them all especially with the # key. Doesn't seem to affect the pre-built linux images but those don't allow me to install certain applications such as Visual Studio Code for some reason so have to use a vanilla linux image.

It is strogly not recommended to use any of local language for virtual machines, it should be US keyboard only

[Geordie12311]

Thanks will give US keyboard a try then

[Geordie12311]

Still no # key no matter what I try

[Uldis (UD)]

Dont use your Local language
only US is right

[Geordie12311]

It is set as US but still doesn't have a # key
