Having trouble with the 2nd button to left of the space bar #770

Installing Kinto on Ubuntu 22.04.1 It is running through VMware Fusion on a Mid 2019 Macbook Pro

The main reason for looking for this is that certain keys \ " @ # are not working in ubuntu.

I have got so far as installing Kinto but now on the identifying keyboard it asks to press the 2nd key left of the space bar.

I have pressed this button but nothing happens. Tried to unset the super key but to be honest that is something i am not sure how to do, what is the super key? The 2nd key left of the space bar says option.

US keyboard layout? It's odd that you say certain keys are not working in Ubuntu. Have you messed with the keyboard type in the Ubuntu desktop settings? It should be left as what it defaults to, which is almost always some kind of "generic" keyboard.

Try to install the package python3-tk before running the Kinto installer. There is an issue with Ubuntu 22.04.1 that didn't exist when installing from the original 22.04 ISO. #765 

sudo apt install python3-tk

There is also another thread that seems to indicate some weirdness with VMware, but that was referring to it binding the Ctrl key, so I don't know if it's related. #759

Which keys are configured to release the keyboard from VMware? That's something to look at.

And the host OS that's running the VMware Fusion, is that Linux or macOS?

The Super key is also often referred to as "Meta", and on PC keyboards it's the "Windows" key. Pretty sure on Apple keyboards it's the Command key.
