The behavior I saw before shift, ctrl stopped working was that all keyboard events and the mouse state were captured. The mouse moved, but stayed as the guest OS's mouse icon (vs Kubuntu's). I could not get to a local console and had to remotely kill the vmplayer process to get back any control. I also tried "export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes" in /usr/bin/vmplayer, which seemed to make the problem happen less frequently, but it still happens.
I'm using Natty and VmWare player 3.1.4 build-385536 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195982 Title: Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
