Hey, I think I have found a solution... it may seem really simple but it now works for me... When you are running the virtual machine if you press the right Ctrl key the accents start working. So I went to File->Preferences (in the main virtualbox window) then selected "entry" and checked out the box saying Auto-Capture Keyboard. Restarted the virtual machine.
After that it always works fine until you press the right Ctrl key... But if you press it again it will work fine again... I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with a portuguese keyboard and virtualbox 1.6.2 -- I can't use accents in guests installed on VirtualBox (Hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217057 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
