Lenovo ThinkServer RD440 Remote KVM not working

nz flag

I've got two ThinkServer RD440 servers and equipped them with the extension to use KVM via BMC Web interface. But it's not completely working: When starting the server I can send the F1 key to enter setup via the Java console, but then in BIOS no input is possible. Also Ctrl+H to access RAID-Config and when the installed OS is started no keystrokes (including macros) are recognized.

On server side is the newest BMC firmware installed (68.0.57460) As client I use a Linux Mint 21 with OpenJDK 11 with the security settings adjusted as in https://realtechtalk.com/Avocent_8020_KVM_Java_Icedtea_Viewer_-1702-articles described. Is there anybody out there with an idea how this can be fixed?

I've started the remote viewer application in the console and get these messages:

Are you sure that your KVM solution has been installed properly and is free from bugs? In Java, an "error" is typically an abnormal condition, which should NOT occur in normal operation, in contrast to an "exception". An incompability with some JVM can also be the cause.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
