So let me get this right: you're now working with a USB keyboard plugged into your MacBook Pro? Is it a Mac keyboard, or some other, more PCish keybord? If the latter, then "Generic" is most definitely the way to go, I'd say. When you claim that a Generic 102 keyboard was the "only way", have you tried configuring a Mac model with a simple (i.e. not mentioning mac) US layout, as I suggested?
I know little about VirtualBox, but I assume that it the ransfer of key events from the host OS to the guest OS works on the level of scan codes, not characters. I don't know whether these scan codes are passed dirctly as received, or rather generated according to some kind of virtual keyboard the guest sees. In any case, I assume that keyboard layout configured in the host should have little to do with this. Instead, twaking configuration options in the guest OS might help. But I suggest you ask these questions using the launchpad question facility, some mailing list, or similar. -- "Error activating XKB configuration." - Requires manual xorg.conf editing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67188 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
